Well might Princess Aurora have worried about her parents
because Good King Uther Pendrake,who used to be a dragon until he had taken on a human form for the love of the Queen
Aurora's mother
had foreseen big troubles coming to this Kingdom and surrounding kingdoms.
Being a once dragon
King Uther's magical powers hadn't left him,but still allowed him to gaze into a crystal ball and see calamitous events about to happen,such
as a huge asteroid due to smack into the ocean about 500 miles to the West
a event that would cause crop failure
rioting amongst the peasants
etc
Uther sorely wished he could return to his dragon form and take
his beloved Queen and daughter
with him
alas when he'd applied to the Dragon High Council for the power to take on a human shape
they'd done so on condition that if he wanted
to return to a dragon form
the Queen and Princess Aurora would have to become dragons as well
and have no memories of ever being human.
That Uther Pendrake had been unwilling to doso far.
Uther's dragon halfbrother regularly visited and Princess
Aurora clled him Uncle Nickky.
So whilst Ciela,Sir Braveheart and Aurora played in the Castle garden
Nicodemious ( his true dragon name) had met the King and Queen at a Knucker Hole (a swampy place where dragons hang out) to
discus the latest sightings of the Barbarian fleet of 1000 longboats that
had just been launched to the East
and were coming to conquer the Kingdom
as well as the appearance of a object by dragon astronomers that had been sightest passing the planet
Mars
and was rapidly approaching.
The times they were in trouble.
