"Need premium account," he grumbled. "Costs gold we don't have."
His young scribe Wilfred grinned. "Found something better. Free login. Password is 2026."

A tiny fire-drake made of burning legal forms erupted from the crystal. "You have violated terms of service!" it squeaked, brandishing a gavel.
Sir Reginald buried his face in his hands.
"I should have just bought the premium."
