Kaln wasn’t even trying to slay the dragon, it was just in the way of his revenge.

But he did, and it led to an obstacle greater than the dread dragon himself: his three widows.  Declaring Kaln their new husband by right of conquest, the dragons tempted him with surprisingly beautiful humanoid forms, with the palatial lair and vast riches owned by the beast he had just slain, and Kaln just couldn’t refuse.

After all, a hoard and dragon wives could surely aid in his vengeance.

Unfortunately Kaln’s beautiful new brides are vain, greedy, lazy, selfish, manipulative, violent, arrogant, and generally...dragons.  They are also ancient, incredibly powerful, smarter than him, and only proposed this arrangement to use him in their own schemes.

But sometimes, the people who are the most difficult to love prove most worth the effort.  Sometimes, a delay in your path can lead to the happiness you'd never realized you were searching for all along.  And sometimes, such as when you've upset the world’s balance of power by killing an ancient dragon, protecting that happiness means fending off a world full of opportunists who want a slice of what's yours.

At times like that, it's handy to be married to three horrible monsters.
