Once upon a time, in a kingdom as green as emeralds and bright as buttercups, lived Princess Anya.

Anya preferred clinking swords to sipping tea, and scaling castle walls to waltzing in ballrooms.

Her best friend was a mischievous squirrel named Pip, and her trusty weapon was a slingshot.

One sunny morning, a fearsome dragon named Scales McFlamebreath swooped down from the Smoking Mountains, his shadow engulfing the castle.

With a roar that rattled the silverware, Scales snatched Prince Edgar and whisked him away to his fiery lair.

People cried, knights whimpered, but Anya grinned. It was the adventure she'd been waiting for!

Anya grabbed her slingshot and a sack of cherry bombs, hitched up her breeches, and set off. Pip perched on her shoulder, chattering eagerly.
