Does anyone recognize this as something from a piece of fan fiction or short story or some such thing?

(copied post from teacher forum)

"'... a pair of mated black dragons ravaged the
countryside to crate new territory for their maturing brood.'
OR '...slay a green dragon that bedeviled travelers to their
forest city.' OR my FAVORITE '...the elven wizards had
expected fire arrows- ALBEIT, a considerably smaller version.'"

One of the main characters is Kethryllia Amarillis, who I know is an FR character.

Thanks.

Oh, and if it happens to be from an FR novel, you can e-mail me your response at ejtoth@comcast.net. (edited to reflect the concerns posted below)

Please don't over blow the whole Novel issue, no one is going to give you grief over asking for help in a possible situation of plagiarism.

And please don't refer to it as the N word, it belittles the history of THAT word as well. One is despicable, the other is not.

Wish I could place those sentences for you, unfortunately while the first one sounds familiar I can't place it.

If you are a teacher and are worried about plagiarism, you may want to check out www.turnitin.com

Many school districts subscribe and it may be available to you already.

Try searching for the quotes on Amazon. They now let you search the whole text of most books they have.

When I first read the title, I was thinking to myself:

"Since when do teachers request plagiarism?"
