After finding a wounded dragon, a medieval orphan squire foregoes his one chance at knighthood by trying to heal the beast before his rivals can kill it.

SYNOPSIS:

In 12th C. Medieval England, dragons have been hunted and killed for sport, prestige and prejudice. To promote the slaughter of dragons, they have been demonized as vicious, destructive, blood-thirsty, fire-breathing beasts, and to kill one is celebrated with perpetual honors of knighthood.

17yo Galek is an orphan who has never had anything of value. No one seems to know how or why he was orphaned. He labors daily for every scrap of food; his future foretells nothing but enduring poverty. At age eight he became a page, and at fourteen he entered service as squire to Sir Dominic, an arrogant knight who has forgotten any oath to be a champion of the poor.

Brenna, by contrast, is the charismatic young lady of nobility and substance living comfortably among aristocrats in the castle.

For ambitious Galek, without royalty in his blood, it seems only knighthood can break his servitude to poverty. And then Galek discovers one old, wounded dragon hiding in a nearby caverns. Ecstatic for this one chance at honor and financial freedom, he confides his plan to Brenna who begs him not to kill the dragon. Easy for her to say!

Sacrificing personal interests, Galek agrees to try to save the wounded dragon and forego the life he has dreamed of. But to do so, he'll still need heroic help from his closest friends since his rival is now hunting this dragon.

NOTE: Whether this feature film utilizes live actors, as in "How to Save Your Dragon" (2025), incorporates CGI technology for our dragon, as in “Chronicles of Narnia” and “Reign of Fire”, or 100% dazzling animation, as in “Raya and the Last Dragon”, it is to the director's strengths and vision to determine.
