Malcolm and Bassclaw Join In
It Started With a Guitar
In the magical world of Embermere, beneath the towering walls of Embermere Castle, lived a young dragon called Angus Searstrings.
Angus had one great passion: his electric guitar.
Every afternoon, he'd find a quiet spot overlooking the village, plug in his guitar and play until the hills echoed with thunderous riffs.
There was just one problem.
Angus needed a band.
DRAGONFARCE ADVENTURE
One afternoon, a particularly loud guitar solo rattled the windows of a nearby cottage.
Inside, Dozy Powell was fast asleep behind his drum kit.
The noise startled him so much that he jumped, landed on his drum stool and accidentally launched into a tremendous drum solo!
Angus stopped playing.
Dozy stopped drumming.
They stared at each other.
Then Angus grinned and played another riff.
Dozy answered with a mighty crash of his cymbals.
Within minutes, the two dragons were making music together.
Embermere had just discovered its first dragon rock duo!
A Drummer Wakes Up
Their music soon attracted a crowd.
Among the curious dragons was Blazey, who had a voice powerful enough to wake a sleeping volcano.
He listened to Angus's guitar and Dozy's pounding drums, then spotted an abandoned microphone on a little stage nearby.
Without asking permission, Blazey marched forward, grabbed the microphone and let out an enormous rock-and-roll roar!
"ARE YOU READY, EMBERMERE?"
A small burst of flame escaped his mouth.
The crowd went wild.
Angus looked at Dozy.
Dozy looked at Angus.
They had found their singer.
Blazey Grabs the Microphone
A Band Needs a Name
Together, Malcolm and Bassclaw plugged in their guitars.
Not everyone in the crowd was jumping around.
Standing quietly at the back were Malcolm Riffclaw, carrying his rhythm guitar, and Bassclaw, holding an enormous bass guitar.
They listened to Angus's wild solos, Dozy's pounding drums and Blazey's mighty voice.
Malcolm tapped his foot. Bassclaw nodded.
They knew exactly what was missing.
They had music, scorched grass and some very annoyed neighbours.
“We need a name!” shouted Blazey.
Everyone called out ideas until Dozy opened one sleepy eye.
“Dragonfarce,” he mumbled.
Angus burst out laughing. Malcolm nodded. Bassclaw rumbled his approval.
Blazey raised his microphone.
“DRAGONFARCE IT IS!”
Malcolm struck a steady riff. Bassclaw answered with one mighty note.
BOOOOOOM!
Windows rattled, pigeons scattered and Dozy nearly fell off his stool!
Angus added a soaring solo. Blazey roared into his microphone.
All five dragons were playing together—and they sounded magnificent.
Tap Angus to hear him play! 🎸
