The Dragon In The Dungeons
The halls of Mystic Towers Academy had lain empty for a little over six weeks now. Dust bunnies had collected entire armies, in readiness for the war against the cleaners, who would be coming in to prepare for next week, when the students would all be returning for another term of education (and shenanigans).
