Adam Blade
TITLE:Ferno The Fire Dragon

And those two overhanging rocks were the dragon's mighty wings. He wanted to run, but his legs were frozen with fear.

As he flew away, he had dislodged the stones damming the river, and a foaming torrent had gushed down the hillside.
Adam Blade
TITLE:Arcta The Mountain Giant

Reynie,alone in the room now,was trying to make sense of what had happened. Why hadn't Rhonda Kazembe's name been called? Was it because she cheated? Did she have the wrong answers,after all? And where did she get answers in the first place? It was all very mysterious,and not the least intriguing was Rhonda's behavior when she was dismissed along with the others:''Well,best of luck,kid,”she'd chirped,playfully mussing his hair and scudding from the room in her cloud-dress,apparently not the slightest bit confused or disappointed that she hadn't passed.
