The next night, Mel stood tied to a tree near the outskirts of the village fully clad in krillage clothing praying that Corpulent would not arrive. To his dismay, Mel heard Corpulent’s thundering footsteps in the distance. Two hours later, Mel still heard the footsteps. The next night, Corpulent finally arrived at the village. The rotund dragon saw Mel and slowly crept up to him. Corpulent lowered his nose to Mel’s feet and slowly sniffed the krillage all the way up to Mel’s neck. When Corpulent got an up close look at Mel’s various skin conditions, the mighty dragon fainted. The next night, Corpulent woke up to find Mel still tied to the tree dressed in krillage that had now acquired its share of flies and maggots. Repulsed and angered by the whole situation, Corpulent left the ugly squire alone and decided to take out his rage on the village. Unbeknownst to Mel, the knights of the village lost interest after the first night and went on living their lives again. Unbeknownst to the knights, Corpulent was ready to do some slaughtering. Within a few short hours, the village’s entire population and krillage supply was wiped out, except of course for Mel and his krillage “supply.” Corpulent left the ugly squire alone that night because he had gotten his fair share of humans and krillage for a month. Fortunately, the rats and small dogs eventually chewed their way through the ropes and Mel was free and still unattractive. Forever changed by the adventure, Mel decided to change his name to Dragonbait, thus, begins The Legend of King Dragonbait.
