realm have been lost to the ages. And so the king summons his bravest knight, Sir Graham,
and sets him on the quest - return all three of the lost treasures, and the throne will be
his. Not an easy task, but the recovery of the Mirror, the Chest of Gold, and the
Shield will take Sir Graham through mythical perils and magical dangers, and forge a new
kingdom from the ruins of the old!

this very subject, Rosella sees a small dragon spite leap from a pond, leaving behind it
