Our Heroes so far:
Astra, Warrior Princess of Aqualaria, Dragon-Huntress, on quest to kill the Dragon who recently arrived on the newly named 'Dragon Island' Joxer, a goof if there ever was one, but he's got armor, a sword, and has the middle name 'fodder' Gaby, small, petite, but damn good with a bo staff - nuff said! Fred, Knight of Allaria, Dragon-Hunter, tricked by the Dragon of the Southern Caves, transported to some unknown island, unwittingly consumed a drought which transformed him into a dragon Astra sat in her room on The Daughter Of The Ocean making repairs on her armor and clothing. She had not expected to make this seafaring journey, her original mission was to travel to the Shreken Mountains and hunt the Dragon of the Northern Caves. But then word came from the mariners that a new dragon had appeared, it seemed young and stupid by most observations - but a dragon's a dragon! Astra was a little angry at her mother, the QueenMother. Astra knew that her mother feared that Astra would not be able to hunt and kill the DragonMage of the Northern Caves, and she knew that the QueenMother had changed the order - commanding her now to hunt and kill this minor dragon instead, almost as a training experience. Though Astra was sure of her skills, she would obey her mother and her Queen. Joxer sat in his room sewing the holes of his garments. He was so excited to be on this mission. He was glad that he had bumped into his old friend Gaby while in the jungle. He had gotten lost and his sense of bearing never kicked in. Gaby sat in her room and daydreamed. She dreamed of many things. She was excited that she bumped into the amazon Astra, she was excited to get to know her, to fight by her side. Fred sat in a cave. He was cold, damp, hungry, and half-crazy. The witch had come to his new cave every night, just to taunt him: "HA-HA," she would taunt, "THAT'S what you get taking an old lady's food!" He really wanted to eat her but then he was afraid he would never become human again, so he let her live. The story for the monkeys on this island was completely different. Roasted monkeys, raw monkeys, monkey on a stick, monkey brains. Monkeys, and coconuts. Like I said, Fred was now half-crazy, and he'd only been on this island for a month! Duke Dred sat in a chamber in the King's Castle. He sat with King Emry and a few advisors - Edgar, Allen, Kane, Able. They had sent a tracker to keep watch in the foothills of the Shreken; Fred had been told to set off a flare on each fortnight; but the first fortnight came and went with no flare, no sign that Fred was still alive. They all worried that the newest Dragon-Hunter was dragon-fodder. But they all knew that worry never did a body any good. They were gathered to make a plan.
