One

If there was one thing Zoraida hated, it was dragons. Yes, she knew her godson's name was George and that his only ambition was to slay a dragon like his saintly namesake, but when the youth had chosen the biggest, most irritable dragon ever to crawl out of a cave, she'd found herself honour-bound as his fairy godmother to volunteer to be the maiden bait for the beast. Bait, yes. Sacrifice, no. But when silly George had gotten himself knocked out by a blow from the beast's tail, she'd had to decide between fighting the dragon herself or losing her godson.

Whoever had blessed the boy with intelligence had done a piss-poor job of it. They should have endowed him with some common sense instead. The enchanted sword she'd given him lay on the ground, useless, as he put her blessing to use: yes, she'd certainly given him all the swiftness a boy could need for running away.
