Questing For Dragons
Len Robertson
- The
- richest
- man
- in
- Pen's
- village
- wants
- her
- for
- his
- wife,
- an
- evil
- baron
- wants
- her
- in
- his
- bed,
- his
- witch
- wife
- wants
- her
- dead,
- the
- emperor
- offers
- a
- huge
- ransom
- capture
- the
- reborn
- Roxanne,
- and,
- further
- complicate
- matters,
- she's
- disguised
- herself
- as
- a
- boy
- to
- squire
- a
- formidable
- yet
- wooden
- headed
- knight
- who's
- seeking
- the
- Dragon
- Lord.Somehow
- Pen
- has
- to
- avoid
- the
- gallows.
- or
- worse,
- being
- locked
- away
- in
- the
- Emperor's
- harem
- forever
- while
- helping
- the
- knight
- in
- his
- quest.
- It
- doesn't
- help
- matters
- that
- the
- Dragon
- Lord
- usually
- feasts
- on
- those
- who
- seek
- him,
- or
- that,
- Sir
- George,
- won't
- tell
- her
- why
- he
- seeks
- someone
- who
- will
- surely
- consume
- him
- and
- all
- he
- knows.Not
- quite
- eighteen
- and
- unfamiliar
- about
- the
- world
- beyond
- her
- village,
- Pen
- does
- her
- best
- to
- guide
- George
- through
- a
- series
- of
- hazards:
- an
- oasis
- habited
- by
- the
- ghost
- child
- Roxanne
- now
- dead
- 600
- yeas,
- a
- monastery
- of
- mysterious
- monks,
- a
- hidden
- vale
- of
- gorgeous
- women
- lead
- by
- a
- demented
- witch,
- across
- a
- treacherous
- bridge
- to
- an
- ancient
- dragon
- who
- may
- know
- the
- lair
- of
- the
- dragon
- lord,
- and
- to
- the
- deserted
- 600
- year
- old
- castle
- of
- the
- long
- dead
- Roxanne.
- And
- then
- there
- is
- the
- certainty
- of
- the
- gallows
- or
- of
- the
- Emperor
- harem
- if
- she's
- caught.
As
- the
- adventure
- progresses,
- Pen
- and
- George
- are
- joined
- by
- an
- untrustworthy
- sorcerer
- and
- a
- callow
- 1400
- lb.
- Minotaur
- youth
- who
- hasn't
- yet
- earned
- his
- name.
- All
- of
- this
- makes
- Pen
- yearn
- for
- the
- old
- days
- when
- she
- was
- the
- village
- hog
- herder
- lathered
- in
- the
- slime
- of
- the stye.
