📜 FULL PLOT SUMMARY (ENGLISH):

⚙️ Setting:

The story is set in a modern-but-magical parallel Britain, where magic exists but is slowly fading, being replaced by modern technology and bureaucracy. Wizards and magical creatures still exist, but they are heavily regulated by the state.

---

🧙 Main Character:

Jennifer Strange, a teenage orphan, lives in the Kingdom of Hereford. She works as an assistant at Kazam, an agency that manages under-employed wizards. Jennifer is intelligent, curious, and brave. Though she has no magic herself, she’s deeply connected to the magical world through her job and her mentor, The Great Zambini, a powerful wizard who mysteriously disappears.

---

🐉 The Prophecy:

The magical world is shaken when a prophecy emerges, claiming that the last living dragon, named Maltcassion, will soon die—killed by the mysterious figure known as The Last Dragonslayer. This death will unleash the dragonlands—vast magical lands long protected by the dragon—opening them up for real estate and exploitation.

Even worse, the prophecy claims that Jennifer herself is the Last Dragonslayer, even though she’s just a regular girl (or so she thinks). Jennifer doesn’t want the role, but the magical forces around her begin pushing her toward her destiny.

---

👑 Political Chaos:

King Snodd IV, a greedy and corrupt ruler, sees the dragon’s coming death as a chance to claim the dragonlands for profit. So do multiple corporations and nobles. As tensions rise, armies gather near the dragon’s territory, ready to seize land and fight each other for power.

Jennifer finds herself caught in a political conspiracy, pursued by both the government and rival magical factions who want to manipulate her into killing the dragon to trigger the land grab.

---

🐉 The Dragon & The Truth:

Jennifer eventually meets Maltcassion, the ancient and wise dragon. Contrary to the public’s belief, he is not evil, violent, or dangerous—he is philosophical and lonely. Maltcassion tells Jennifer that his death is necessary, but not because he deserves it—it is part of an ancient magical contract that must be fulfilled.

Jennifer is torn: if she refuses to kill the dragon, the magical contract may destroy the balance of the world. But if she obeys the prophecy, she dooms an innocent creature and enables human greed.

---

⚔️ The Climax:

At the appointed time, Jennifer travels to the dragon’s lair, watched by the eyes of the kingdom. She holds the Dragonslayer’s Sword, a magical weapon only usable by the chosen one. In a sorrowful and noble moment, Maltcassion kneels, ready to die. Jennifer, with great sadness, strikes the blow—not out of hatred, but as an act of mercy and duty.

The dragon dies.

Instantly, the magic shielding the dragonlands fades. Armies and corporations rush to claim the territory—but as they do, unexpected magic is unleashed, defending the land from exploitation. Nature itself fights back.

---

🌀 Ending:

Jennifer becomes a hero, though a reluctant one. The death of Maltcassion triggers a rebirth of magic, rather than its destruction. Jennifer learns that true magic comes not from spells, but from belief, sacrifice, and integrity.

In the final scene, Jennifer takes over as the head of Kazam, now becoming a true protector of the magical world. Her journey from orphan to Dragonslayer to leader is complete.
