Dealt With Dragons

Satoshi was a large kingdom, just east of the Mountains of Evening,

where philosophers were highly respected and the number five was fashionable.

The climate was unremarkable. The knights kept their armor brightly

polished mainly for show—it had been centuries since a dragon had come west.

There were a usual periodic problems with royal children and uninvited fairy

godmothers, but they were always the sort of thing that could be cleared up by

finding the proper prince or princess to marry the unfortunate child a few years

later. Afterall, it was a very prosperous and pleasant place.

Cimong hated it.
