“Oh, yes,” says Perilous Jack.

“I’ve slain many Giants in my day. I started with Giants before I moved up to Dragons.”

The Dwarf King eyes him sidelong. “Don’t ye think ye’ve got that backward, lad? I’ve always found the old Giants to be a bit more hassle than any Dragon.

But it is too late, because this is . . .

 

THE END.
