Adventure Hook Preview ✨
“You're sitting in the cozy common room of the Tumbling Teacup Tavern when a tiny, shimmering dragon — no bigger than a house cat — zooms through the window trailing golden sparks. She crash-lands on your table, scattering cups everywhere.”
“HELP!” she squeaks. “My name is Ember, and today is my 500th birthday! But everything's gone wrong! My enchanted cake ran away, pixies stole my decorations, and my best friend Professor Hootsworth is lost in the Gigglewood! The party is at sundown and I need heroes! Will you help me? I'll give you all the cake you can eat!”
