Adventurer and His Basilisk

A young wizard hatched his first dragon egg not so long ago - or so he thought. To his surprise, it wasn't a dragon but a basilisk! Still, a pair of wings is a pair of wings - the unlikely transport will get him to where he needs to go, nevertheless! The pair is off to an adventure with the object of collecting magical artifacts from all ends of the earth in mind.

In European bestiaries & legends, a basilisk is a legendary reptile reputed to be king of serpents & said to have the power to cause death with a single glance.
