Little Black Book

I ride the dragon Griselda home from a battle where we conquered the Kingdom of Trolls. I need sustenance and sleep. Now we are flying through a thick fog, and the last time we flew through fog the ground appeared out of nowhere and I was nearly dismounted, on purpose I suspected, when she hit the ground. I see light this time instead of the ground and she lands with a thump and I go flying. When I open my eyes after hitting the ground the dragon is nowhere to be seen. I hate it when she does this. As my eyes take in these new surroundings I see a small black object sitting on a nightstand.
