Answer:
Icy fingers gripped my arms in the darkness... I shrieked, flinging my arm away. Edging to the other side of the bed, I fumbled for the light switch. There was no use screaming for help, I was alone in the big, empty house. Whatever this was, I would have to face it myself. The light clicked on, and I was blinded, my bleary eyes adjusting to the darkness. Turning, I looked at my attacker to find...
A gnome? He looked like something straight off the neighbor's lawn, with pointy ears, a little pointed hat, and a portly belly.
"Come." the gnome said in a gruff voice. "There isn't much time to explain."
"Explain what?" I said, still in my pajamas and very confused. "Where are we going?"
"The darklands, of course, your highness. Your dragon awaits you."
"I think you have me mistaken with someone else. I'm not a monarch, I'm just a sleepy kid. And I sure don't own a dragon." The gnome sighed, and touched my head. It all came flooding back. The eternal war, my dragon, the fight against the darkness to save the world above.
"Shall we, Gnolon?" I said, swinging my feet out of the bed.
"Indeed, your grace."he replied. And with that, we set off.
