He wore heavy<br \/>\narmor and carried an ancient silver shield marked with a red cross.  It<br \/>\nwas dented with the blows of many battles fought long ago by other<br \/>\nbrave knights.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Cross Knight had never yet faced a foe, and did not even<br \/>\nknow his name or where he had been born.  But now he was bound on<br \/>\na great adventure, sent by the Queen of the Fairies to try his young<br \/>\nstrength against a deadly enemy, a dragon grim and horrible.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This is not a short read aloud and it is (unsurprisingly) quite gory.  But it is interesting and strange and has dragons.
