Question. Is the girl trying to kill the dragon, or are they just playing?

The Dentist and the Dragon    Njall made his way up the side of the mountain and cursed his village elders. While they sat snug and warm in their houses, he was forced to endure the cold and the wind and the rain. And soon, he’d be face to face with a dragon.
    This was a job that should have been given to a real warrior, but the elders had argued that with the raiding season well underway, the village needed all the warriors they had to defend against possible invaders. Njall scowled. They could at least have given him a sword. His dentist tools wouldn’t be much use against a giant, fire-breathing lizard.

It filled my mind with overwhelming meaning, power locking around me. Then the great head fell and rolled to the side, eyes sliding shut with a final sigh. One long forelimb shifted, revealing an egg as large as a man’s head, brilliantly blue, and still warm.
I lifted it and carried it home, the dragon’s final spell wrapped around me like claws.
--
The villagers thought me mad.
“I must keep it,” I tried to explain. “I’m under a geas. I have no choice.”
They shouted in protest, quieting only when the wise woman examined me and the egg with herb smoke, runes, and half-blind eyes and proclaimed this so. Even then, there were mutters and distrustful glances a
