The Dragon and the Tot
With a chill in the air and leaves swirling, it was the beginning of Fall. Dew covered the forest floor. Off in the distance was a faint whine. My ears perked up, and I squinted to see better. I am an older dragon, you know, and my senses aren't what they used to be. I laid my giant head back down and chose to ignore the noise. My eyes started to close as I dozed into slumber, but the whining grew louder. Annoyed and frustrated, I rose up from my cozy bed of leaves. I was used to getting my 30 plus years of sleep and without it, I get cranky. I stuck out my neck and squinted again to see what this disturbance was all about. There was nothing there. Nothing but the misty fog and cold, still forest. The noise had seized and all was quiet.

Sleeping Dogs: The First Knight
Many years ago... "Long Ago, and far away from our little valley, there was a land shrouded in eternal mists. Strange creatures roamed this land, hunting any humans that wandered into their domain. Yet, they too were hunted, for in this land another, greater creature roamed. The beat of its wings was like thunder, and its roar like an earthquake! Its breath could ignite forests, and its eyes gleamed with a fierce fire!"

Wings and Things
Did you know that in a witch's spell eye of newt actually means mustard seed? The number of genuinely horrific-sounding things that go into potions that are just obscure references to plants is shocking. So, when the boss said she needed a chameleon’s tail, I was not expecting it would involve an actual chameleon. Spoiler alert. It did.
