Suddenly, everything made horrible sense. His master had been right. The Beast was close. This wasn't a mountain...it was the dragon itself! Glancing down with a rush of fear, Edward realised that he was holding on to the dragon's tail-and that caldor was holding on the monster's back! And those two overhanging rocks were the dragon's mighty wings. He wanted to run, but his legs were frozen with fear.
Adam Blade
TITLE:Sepron The Sea Serpent
Tom's heart began thumping again as he remembered how he had freed ferno from the curse of Malvel the dark wizard. The dragon had burnt crops all over Avantia and blocked the river, making the land dry and barren. When Tom had unlocked the magic collar that imprisoned him, the dragon was released from the spell. As he flew away, he had dislodged the stones damming the river, and a foaming torrent had gushed down the hillside.
