Archmage Serena, head posterior-kicker with the sisterhood of scientist-magicians the Future Mages, is not a happy bunny. Her official comedy sidekick, Cecil the dragon, has disgraced himself with one of the local dragonesses, leaving her holding the babies. Normally, Archmage Serena deals with problems by blasting them all over the scenery in small, crispy chunks. Unfortunately, this latest crisis does not lend itself to that sort of approach so she is feeling distinctly annoyed with her underling. When last seen, Cecil was trying to find somewhere to hide, about fifty universes away from his boss’s current location.
