How to Save a Dragon

Kitchen maid Rima wakes up chained in a cave as a sacrifice to the Dread Dragon Cyclone, along with two goats and gold and gems as tribute. If she escapes, the Guardian of Beltonia will pay a grand reward for her return, dead or alive.

Cyclone arrives late and wants more than making her a meal. They flee, but Sir Roger Tallego, the knight stuck with the fatal quest to destroy the dragon, and his squires are after them. They must quest until Sir Roger succeeds or dies honorably, true to his chivalric code.

Sir Roger drinks too much since the death of his wife. His squires, Beau and Franz, and his page, Pen, keep perilous secrets. But Roger honors the quest.

Prompt 4: You discover that the dragon everyone fears is in danger, and you are the only one who can save it from the knight sworn to save it.
