The Worm was definitely my favorite of the three tales though they were all certainly very good. I just love the idea of that old dragon sitting atop The Worm was definitely my favorite of the three tales though they were all certainly very good.

Is it weird that I can relate to someone who can kill another person so easily and yet still appreciate a soldier offering his cloak? It must mean I'm strange. Or a writer I guess.
