"Vi har altid hadet dværgene," sagde frk. Stigge. "Lige siden menneskene kom her til Bragedalen for flere hundrede år siden. Der har været mange krige. Mange dræbte. Gårde er blevet brændt af. Handelsmænd er blevet overfaldet." Hun sukkede dybt. "Kan man ikke stoppe det?" spurgte jeg forsigtigt. Min stemme lød lillebitte. Det er ikke let at forhindre en krig. Især ikke, når næsten alle andre i Stolpeby går ind for den. Men Filippa sætter sig for, at det skal lykkes, og hun drager ud på en farefuld og dristig færd for at finde hjælp.

Gaderne var lige og blev fejet hver torsdag. Husene var pæne og helt ens. Alle mødte på arbejde til tiden, og man betalte sin skat med glæde! Sådan skulle det være. Ikke noget pjank og pjat, men orden, system og regelmæssighed! Og så, 12 år, 4 måneder, 7 dage og 3 timer og 1 minut inde i mit liv kiggede jeg lige op i bugen på en drage..."
