Chapter Two: Seek the Strong, Hunt the Healer Stygian had expected to take weeks, perhaps even months to reach his first destination. He wasn’t looking forward to that journey, but if he was going to save his village, he was going to have to brave it, and hope that the stars were in his favor. The stars, however, appeared to not be in his favor. Barely an hour away from his village, a dark shadow swooped over him. Stygian paused and looked up. The good news was that this wasn’t Basso Profundo. The bad news, however, was that this was a different creature, and one dangerous for other reasons. This was a dragon, with a wide snout and scales of varying shades of green, with a pouch slung about his neck. The dragon landed before him, deep blue eyes locked upon his own, and spoke.

Granny Smith was not in a chipper mood. She felt that she’d earned that right, given how long she’d lived, but the situation that she was about to find herself in did little to discourage her as she and most of her immediate family found themselves cresting the final hill to Apple Con. She and the Apple Family had been attending the convention since the early days, which were ones she remembered fondly. Much like her family, the convention had started with humble roots as a means to gather with other apple farmers and merchants, discuss new trends, drum up additional business for the farm and pad the rainy-day fund. As time had passed, however, the convention had expanded to include other fruit-growers. Granny had begrudgingly come to tolerate the orange, pineapple and peach merchants, as some of them were kin, and the berry growers, but certain individuals still stuck in her craw. Certain individuals from the Pear family, to be specific. Regardless, by her reckoning, the
