The second episode, “Valiant”? Not so great. But more on that later.
In the opening narration of “The Dragon’s Call,” we learn that, “No young man, no matter how great, can know his destiny. He cannot glimpse his part in the great story that is about to unfold. Like everyone, he must live and learn.”
