A mighty dragon is terrorizing the people of Sabatini Castle! They need your bravery and determination to vanquish the beast. Before you leave for your quest, it would be a good idea to brush up on your sword fighting skills.
Now that you’ve practiced your skills, you’ll need a sword of your own. A shield might be a good idea too. Follow these instructions to make a cardboard sword and shield.
