Sir Charles recognizes an opportunity when he sees one (he's been selling dragons to train young dragon-fighters for years now) but as it turns out, dragons are also good at recognizing opportunities. And there's one very angry dragon-mom on the way.Originally published in Dragons, Knights and Angels magazine, Even A Stone sees a chance meeting change Sir Charles' entire life, and an angel may learn whether even a stone warms up if you sit on it.
