Dealing with a dragon.

“This is as far as I take you.” declared Kamali, “That was the deal.”

“But…the way back?” asked Kupe.

“You won’t need it !” smiled Kamali, and with that he vanished.


The caustic scent of sulphur drifted up to Kupe and Marco, they knew they were close. A low rumbling tremor shook the floor around them. Despite the dread that instantly overcame them, they grasped the overhanging roots and began to climb down.


Even the legend of Ryoko did not do her justice. Transfixed by her glowing eyes, burning like molten metal, they knelt before her, heads bowed… and waited.


Choose one of the tasks below. You could:


Describe the journey to this place. What happened? What were the discussions?
