The Dragon Rules Allaria

"Welcome, Lord Fred and Princess Astra," the dragon said. "Not forgetting that rather annoying teenage boy whom I turned into a dog. I see you managed to free Astra, Fred. Though I'd have transported her here to see my triumph in any case, so it made no difference.

"As you can see, I now rule Allaria, thanks to a coup shortly after Fred left. I believe that protocol demands that men should bow and women curtsey before their ruler, but since Fred is so stiff-necked and Astra can't curtsey without a dress I'll overlook it just this once. So your quest has miserably failed. I'm in the process of deciding which of the population of Allaria should be my servants, and which should be turned into animals like Velus here. In your case:

1. "You are too dangerous for either. You will be executed."
2. "You are too dangerous for either. You will be imprisoned for life in my dungeon."
3. "You can be servants, doing something suitably unpleasant."
4. "Animals, I think."
5. "I might try something different. Mythical creatures, maybe."
6. "I've been experimenting with half-human, half-animal forms."
7. You are to dangerous, you shall be transported to a distent land.
