With a wave of his arms, and a stamp of his hooves, Franz quieted the crowd. "I know what you're thinking, but allow me to expound." The mass of attendants seemed ready to resume complaining, but the trees shivered their consent. "I'm sure you've all seen it. The magic no longer flows in the trees. Stalworth is as dry as a rock. If we are to rectify this, then we will need dragons. As for how we bring them back, well that's easy." Franz paused, holding up a quill. "We write about them."
