Bored Questless

By Kat Simons

No one wants a bored dragon…

 

Leave a dragon bored, quests happen. Kaxem knows the inevitability of this. Especially with a best friend like Rebop. But when Rebop brings Kaxem news of a bespelled princess in need of waking, Kaxem, at first, passes on the adventure. He'd rather rearrange his books. Really. He would.

 

But disappointing his best friend proves impossible. Bored dragons are also nagging dragons. Kaxem agrees to the quest. One last quest.

 

And if they happen to save the world, and discover a really good library in the process…he won't complain.
