The village square buzzes with joy and optimism as Sera stands at the center, hand on her hip, chin held high, voice ringing out loud and proud.
"We'll take care of your dragon problem." She says, voice carrying loud and clear across the square. "We'll find it, and slay it. Just show us the way—"
The gathered crowd gasps as one. "No!" dozens of villagers shout simultaneously.
Vuvi blinks. "Uh… what?"
"You mustn't hurt her!" an old woman cries, clutching his walking stick.
"She's precious!" wails a young woman with flowers in her hair.
"She's ours!" says a third, hugging her satchel of turnips tightly.
Vuvi's confident stance falters. She exchanges looks with Veena, Penelo, and Pip.
Penelo tilts her head. "Wait... her?"
