The Egg Knight and the Dragon

Being a knight in service of the Undying Emperor is not easy, especially for someone like Adrian, the Egg Knight: oppressing the people of the Empire is against everything he's been taught, and if he could, he would kill the Emperor himself and bring his half-millennium reign to an end.

But the Emperor is not only undying, but unkillable as well, and no one who dared defy him has ever lived to tell the tale; Adrian himself has been a witness to several futile attempts on the Emperor's life, each ending in complete failure. So he does the Emperor's bidding and does his best to help the common people, but sorely wishes he could do more.

"Go and collect taxes," the Emperor says, and Adrian goes and collects taxes.

"Go and put down the rebellion," the Emperor orders, and Adrian goes and puts down the rebellion.

"Go and slay the dragon," the Emperor commands, and Adrian goes and slays the dragon... or tries to, at least.

Because the dragon is no mindless beast, and harbours within his body an arcane, ancient secret, which could bring about unfathomable changes for the Empire... and for Adrian himself.
