Simple Tales presents the legendary story of the Wawel Dragon of Kraków.

For years, a fearsome dragon has terrorized the kingdom of Kraków, living in a limestone cave beneath Wawel Hill. Countless knights and warriors have challenged the beast with sword and lance, but none have returned. When the king offers a grand reward to anyone who can rid the land of the monster, many try—and many fail.

It is a testament to the idea that we do not always need to be the strongest to conquer our greatest monsters.

While living in solitude in a remote mountain cave, Milarepa returns from gathering food to find his home filled with terrifying demons.
