A goblin rushed into the shadow castle, home of the shadow queen, queen Ravana, the current queen of the shadow kingdom. The goblin brought back fruit and vegetables. 

"My queen, I got the groceries like you asked! I scared a forest dragon to get them! It was hilarious! He screamed and cried!" 

"I'm very proud of you, Norman. Forest dragons are timid creatures. Was it one of those dragon defenders by any chance?" 

"Oh yes, it was! But so much for being a defender! He's too weak to defend himself!" 

"Indeed, indeed..." 

Ravana laid on her bed, looking out the window. 

"Oh it's TOO sunny today. ugh...makes me nauseous. I really miss my daughter. She ran away from me and I want her BACK!!" She roared and scratched her castle walls, which scared her goblin pet. 

"I know, my queen. We'll get her back. Um, how were we going to do that?" 

"A bunch of little birdies told me that my daughter found her long lost son. The dragonboy of prophecy. I want that dragonboy! He is the key to getting her back to me! I wanted to raise her to be cruel, but one day she defied me and ran away!  I will hold the dragonboy ransom and then lure her and my new son-in-law to the shadow kingdom! Then, my daughter will be mine again! And we'll rule the shadow kingdom with an iron fist!"

"And will I get to be second in command, my queen?" 

"If you continue to help me, then yes. You've earned it. Now let's go searching once more for the dragonboy. He can run, but he can't hide forever!" 

The shadow queen leaned her head down for Norman to climb on. And she flew out the castle window, in search of the dragonboy...
