‘He’s got a tiny flame coming out of his nose,’ said Grizzy.

The dragon was happily wriggling and twisting under Grizzy’s fingers when suddenly …

Kee-chiff!

The dragon sneezed. The last flicker of flame shot out and sizzled the edge of the mushroom.

Grizzy stood up and sighed.

‘All right, Borgon, you win,’ she said sadly. ‘If he can’t defend himself, then I suppose you can do what you like.’

‘No I can’t,’ said Borgon. He tucked his axe into his belt, then reached down to give the dragon a friendly tickle. ‘How can I make a dangerous barbarian breakfast without any danger?’

‘Stop moaning,’ said Grizzy. ‘You came to get a dragon and you’ve got one. You should be pleased.’

‘But it’s all gone wrong,’ sighed Borgon sadly. ‘I’m a barbarian! I wanted to meet up with a BIG dragon. I wanted to attack it while it blasted me with flames. I’m Borgon the Axeboy, not Borgon the tummy tickler!’

Borgon gave the dragon a final stroke then stood up. The dragon flipped back on to his feet and Borgon gave him a little wave.

‘Goodbye, my little friend,’ he said. ‘I hope you get your fire back soon.’

‘So what happens now?’ asked Grizzy, as they returned to the horses.

‘I’m going home,’ said Borgon.

‘What a waste of a morning,’ said Grizzy, trudging along behind him. ‘I wanted to see a bit of danger.’

‘Really? Then you’re going to enjoy this afternoon,’ said Borgon.

‘Why?’

‘Because I’m going to ask my dad why he lied to me. And that’s when it’s going to get REALLY dangerous.’
