Gilbert Guttlebocker, Defender of Dragons

By Benedict Ballyhoot

Sent to a boarding school for knights, young Gilbert Guttlebocker studies under the wisest mentors in the land: the dragons. Under dragon tutelage, every academy student studies in great depth the formidable subjects of reading, writing, and arithmetic, along with the other mainstays of a classical, well-rounded education in chivalry, such as jousting, sword fighting, and of course, dragon-slaying. As part of Gilbert's all-important first semester project, our young hero finds himself completely at odds with his scaly, fire-breathing teachers as he fights to save their lives... in utter defiance of every principle they've taught him in dragon-slaying class! But why would dragons teach young knights how to slay them, you ask? "Dragons are mere myths. Since there are no real dragons, no real dragons can possibly be in danger from any humans who want to kill them. As a result, we real dragons are perfectly safe from harm," Gilbert's fire-breathing mentor explained.
