Rescued from the Dragon — Dian Layton

Rescued From the Dragon

Near the forests of Laws Forgotten, a dragon rules a village called Greed. For many years the dragon has controlled the people and told them lies about the King. The King needs someone to go to the village Greed and tell the people the truth. The King needs someone to conquer the great dragon and rescue the people.

The King needs...an army!

"It looks like that gate is the only entrance to the village; I'll try to sneak around the dragon..."

The children called after him in anxious whispers, "Be careful, Seeker!"

Seeker moved bravely and carefully toward the dragon. Closer and closer he went, until he was almost close enough to touch the great beast. Seeker held his nose and tried to keep from getting sick. The dragon's breath was terrible and he smelled as though he had never, ever brushed his teeth; and never, ever taken a bath. Seeker pinched his nose tightly and began to step toward the entrance gate of the village. But suddenly....

...The dragon stood up with a loud and vicious ROAR!
