Call me Dragon by Marc Secchia

It's the last thing you'll ever do.

A misfiring Dragon kidnaps a feisty Princess.

Call me dragon

Call me Dragon. It’s the last thing you’ll ever do.

Blitz the Devastator has never done a decent day’s devastating in his life. Fireless, artistic and shunned by his Dragon Clan, he struggles to pillage even the meanest village. A future full of misery and failure beckons.

This much is true until the day the burly brown Dragon successfully – imagine that – kidnaps the Princess Azania. As a black Princess of T’nagru, this spirited beauty is by definition the most unforgettable woman in the seventeen realms. Knights errant, men-at-arms and sundry Princes expire at her feet in drivelling worship.

Unfortunately, they all want his scaly head on a platter shortly thereafter. Goes with the territory.

To Blitz’s consternation, the royal nuisance refuses to behave herself and be a typical pampered Princess. With humour, unconventional flair and the odd stomp of her diminutive slipper, she sets out to reform her Dragon.

One question remains. Who will save the Dragon from the Princess?

Sample text:

DRAGONS. SO RUDDY PREDICTABLE. Here he perched atop the tallest tower of the greatest castle in all the land, contemplating a little recreational pillaging, and all he had managed to do so far was to enjoy a long snooze in the glorious sunshine. Since dawn. Till dusk.

What a failure.

Might as well be a wingless worm.

Saddled with a name like Blitz the Devastator, any reasonable creature would conclude that an occasional bout of pillaging, followed by an afternoon’s casual arson, looting and destruction, went with the territory – well, like mutton came wrapped in wool, which invariably stuck between his fangs and annoyed him like the worst scale rash in history. With a mental sigh that echoed through all five hearts, Blitz yanked his errant thoughts back on track. The Devastators were a proud clan. The sharpest talons in the paw, one might say. Dragons with a reputation to uphold.

Today’s achievement? One long snoozefest, punctuated by ample thoughts of pillaging. Rather less by way of actual action. Sadly, this was also predictable.
