Darek's brother, Clep, has just returned from a dragon quest, and was lucky enough to kill a blue dragon, considered one of the largest, and fiercest, of all the dragons. After a hero's welcome, the town settles down for the night, and Darek sneaks down to the dragon's body, and discovers a whimpering young dragonling emerging from the dead beast's pouch. Darek knows that if the town finds the dragonling, they will kill it. So Darek goes on an adventure of a lifetime, and returns the dragonling to his home. In doing so, Darek not only becomes a hero, but changes the village's view of dragons forever.
