Casiodorus Rex:
Did you ever hear of King Gazerick? Oh no, of course not, you weren't even born. He was my brother, a great King and a valiant man-at-arms. When he ascended the throne, the dragon was unbridled. No one knew where it might strike next. So, he brought forth his broadsword, assembled his best company of fighters and went out to do battle. He was never seen again. But his attack provoked the most terrible reprisals: whole villages incinerated, entire crops burnt, death, famine... horrible. How did you advocate to yourself the role of 'savior'?

Galen:
I was invited.

Casiodorus Rex:
Not by me! I think you're nothing but a boy... an apprentice!

Casiodorus Rex:
Have you ever considered the consequences of failure?

Galen:
WHAT failure? What are you saying, do you want the dragon back?

Casiodorus Rex:
You came here and toyed with the monster! Who are YOU, to risk our people? Our villages?

Galen:

Casiodorus Rex:

Galen:

Casiodorus Rex:
Then the beast is dead?

Galen:
Yes, it's dead.

Casiodorus Rex:
We shall see.
