Princess Pulverizer frowned. That little knight didn’t look like he could save a mouse from a cat—never mind a princess from an ogre.

Luckily, the last thing Princess Pulverizer needed was saving. She could get out of this mess all on her own.

Besides, if this little knight got involved, he’d probably want to share the credit for returning the Queen of Shmergermeister’s jewels. That was not happening. Not when Princess Pulverizer had already gone through so much to get the jewels back.

“Go away!” she called down to the little knight. “You’re ruining everything.”

“Don’t worry!” the knight called back. “My faithful companion and I are here to free you and . . .”

That was the last thing Princess Pulverizer heard from the little knight, because at just that moment, the ogre rushed out of the castle. He scooped up the knight with one hand and threw him over his shoulder.

With the other hand, he reached out and grabbed some sort of creature by the tail. The princess didn’t have time to get a good look at what kind of creature it was. All she knew was that it was bright green and nearly the size of a fat horse.

THUMP. THUMP.

The ogre was coming up the stairs again. By now the princess recognized his footsteps.

THUD. THUD. THUD. THUD.

Those weren’t the ogre’s footsteps. They were loud. And heavy. But they didn’t belong to the ogre. They had to belong to the creature that had been captured along with the knight.

THUD. THUD. THUD. THUD.

SOB!

The princess heard a loud, mournful roar. It sounded way too loud for any human to make.

Princess Pulverizer had no idea what kind of monster could make a loud, horrible noise like that. All she knew was she didn’t want to meet him.

A moment later, the tower door opened. The ogre stomped in and . . . CLANG. He dropped the little knight right on his armor-covered rear end.

Then the ogre yanked at the creature’s long, green, spiny tail and pulled him into the room.

Princess Pulverizer’s eyes opened wide. The creature was a dragon. A real, live dragon!

“MY PRISONERS!” the ogre bellowed as he left the tower and headed back down the stairs.

The loud crying started up again immediately. Surprisingly, the loud cries were coming from a human. The tiny knight was sobbing hysterically.
