i remember reading this book as a kid where this super rad girl was on adventures and along the way she met like this wicked awesome dragon (that i think was the Queen Dragon??) and i can really tell my priorities as a kid because she came to this beautiful village where everyone was happy and in it she found an artifact of some description that would give her information vital to her quest but only if she sacrificed what was most precious to her

and tiny child me was petrified that she was going to lose Queen Dragon and i fuckin loved that dragon and was like aw dunk there goes the coolest character but the artifact told her lol you can’t live in the village and i was just

wtf??? how did you not value your sicknasty dragon friend more you tiny cretin
