A drawing of a pale 11 year old in a red hoody and huge white lensed glasses with shaggy brown hair and a navy backpack facing us as they stand in the shadows across an ancient paved street from a stone wall arch through which is cisible the outline of a terrifying dragon, head thrown back and blue flame belching from its throat
