Dragon Hunters Page #3

and leaves his lair

at the far end of the world.

When he comes, he devours entire regions,

burns villages by the hundreds ...

swallows fortresses whole,

before returning to his lair,

leaving only ashes behind.

Gildas!

I have inscribed on this calendar

all of the signs of his awakening.

Look, the Crenelations collapse.

The smoldering Knights.

The red cloud.

the bridges sailing away.

The sinking villages.

And talking animals.

When all of these signs have appeared,

my boy,

He will have returned ...

the Devourer of Life.

The World Gobbler.

I have seen him son.

I once lifted my sword before him.

And the mere sight of his fiery gaze

drove my own eyes back into my skull.

Since then, all I can see

is a dead grey landscape

a terrible place where there is no life,

and no joy.

What is that little tree there,

next to the dragon?

That is for scale dear Knight.

Go to his kingdom, enter his lair,

far off in the west,

beyond the end of the world ...

and strike him while he sleeps.

Before its too late.

Yeah, yeah, yeah ...

but no.

It is a cruel blow, but uh look at that,

were all booked up.

Strike him dead and the world will be saved.

Lian-chu, say goodbye,

were disturbing the man.

My health and sight will return.

And I will cover you in gold.

Dear client, if you can make room for

his head in your museum of horrors.

But first let me show you our

standard contract.

Special little advance for

travel expenses.

And since were among

noble knights ...

A large purse of gold should

do the trick nicely.

Modern methods, why not?

Gildas!

Yah, just put an X there, here, here and there.

Roll, roll, roll.

The red cloud, my lord.

Saddle up my good brave Knights.

Keep heading west my lords,

until the end of the world.

Yes, for sure, for sure, old man. Of course Gildas.

Say hi to the misses will ya?

Yes, yes, Ha, ha ha!

Yes! Yes! Who who who!

Where you going?

Coiff a cold one buddy, is not every day that

we get to rip off a blind of geezer.

That's not the way

to the end of the world.

Lian-chu, don't you understand,

who cares about their end of the world?

We are rich.

You know what this is?

- An advance?

- This is our little farm, buddy.

The one of our comfy little dreams,

with sheep everywhere?

Now let's get out of here,

while the beasties are busy.

I am coming with you, my lords.

What? Zo, you can't

be serious.

Sure I am.

My uncle told me I had to come with

you to the end of the world.

Oh really? Weren't you punished?

No. .. And what he also said was that

I should learn the rudiments of the trade.

No, no, no and no.

You go home, explain to Uncle Arnold

that, Lord Gwizdo does not take on apprentices.
