Time of the Month — Carol Hightshoe

Looking forward to a little time alone before the full moon, a female warrior is called on to confront a dragon that has been terrorizing a Duke Jucasya's people for several years.

According to a wandering sage, the dragon will be at its most vulnerable during the two days prior to the full moon.

Cursing the timing of the commission, she sets out to confront the dragon and finds out that for some creatures certain times of the month are worse than others.
