Owen and the Lost Scroll

Fantasy Adventure Story for Kids

Dorktales Podcast: EP115

“Big breath, magic at my fingertips, and a quest in my heart!” Owen was trying to enjoy some tea and a little magical me-time when—oops!—they accidentally cast a very real, very powerful spell straight from the pages of their favorite comic, Gwyn Guardian the Grand. When an evil shadow wizard escapes from the story and into the real world, Owen realizes that only a dangerous quest can stop it before all magic is lost forever. With a reluctant Knight and a trinket-loving dragon by their side, Owen must find the legendary Scroll of Luminosity to unlock the light that could save them all.
