The Last Dragonslayer Page #3

---

we'll never get Zambini back.

Yes, but what can you do?

You're a non-magical indentured orphan

whose only talent is for tea and toast.

I'm going to stop the Dragonslayer.

We are reporting live

from the historic and almost forgotten

Dragonslayer Headquarters

where Sir Grifflon,

the King's top knight and popstar

has arrived to summon

the kingdom's Official Dragonslayer.

This just hours after a spate of

synchronized visions

affected every seer in Hereford

foretelling that

the last dragon would be killed

at the hands of the Dragonslayer.

I'm sorry, Sir Grifflon.

The slayer is nowhere to be found.

We've knocked and everything.

Do you want to be the one

who informs King Snodd?

We'll keep looking, m'lord.

I'll deal with her.

No, no, no.

Got to give something back.

You there!

Name?

Jennifer Strange.

My new film reel is out in October.

Tell all of your little friends, yeah?

I don't have any friends.

Yeah, well,

just spread the word then.

I'm looking for the Dragonslayer.

Oh. Guilty as charged.

My formal title is

His Majesty's Official Dragonslayer

Overseer Of The Dragon Pact.

But you can call me Brian.

Has no one found you back here?

Oh, a very basic distraction charm,

nothing special.

Only took me, ooh,

50 years to master.

I'm older than I look.

Sir. You will be aware of the vision

that many wizards received.

Oh, about the slaying this Sunday.

A very exciting prophecy.

Please don't do it.

I mean, I'm begging you

not to slay the dragon.

If the dragon dies and magic ends -

Well, that is a big "if".

I can't let you do it.

I like your spirit.

Let me show you around.

Come on, this way.

Now then, here you go...

Ooh, mind out.

So...

Ta-da!

Copper spikes.

Dragons don't like it.

Magical six-cog engine.

Yeah, apart from that,

it's in mint condition.

After all, it's never been used.

This is the sword Exhorbitus.

Cuts through anything, even magic.

Yeah, last fella who visited -

he was very interested in this.

A sort of wizardish-sounding name.

What was the name?

Oh, the Great Zambini

or something.

Yeah. Came six, seven years ago.

Wanted to know all about

the Dragonslayer lineage.

What else did Zambini say -

- Ah-ah-ah!

All questions will be answered

in this short induction film I made

when I first got the job.

With all due respect,

I'm only here to stop you.

Take a seat.

Oh. I think he likes you.

But...

- Shh-shh-shh. Film's starting.

Dragons.

They ate the sheep

stole treasure from our kings

and even ate people.

People didn't enjoy that much.

Knights tried their best

to slay them

but the more dragons they killed,

the more the dragons thrived!

Enter Shandar,
