The Best-Laid Plans

The group, except for Ember, headed off to Manehattan, where the publishing company was located. It was called the Manehattan Publishing Company. It was a unique name when it was created, so they deserved some credit. The publishing company had existed before the city ever did. Ember headed back to the Dragonlands.

When they got to Manehattan, the plan immediately fell apart. First of all, there were no alligators. There wasn’t even a moat. Second, the doors were wide open for some reason.

“Sorry, I don’t think we’re going to need a distraction to leave after all,” Twilight said. “The door’s wide open and the place doesn’t seem to have any guards or anything.”

Ember frowned, then said, “Alright, come on everydragon. Let’s just go see if there’s something to see on Manehattan Broadway while we’re here or something.” Manehattan Broadway had been named after the publishing company, which also used to run a theatre troupe. The dragons left.
