The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Eustace is transformed into a dragon after sneaking into a dragon’s cave to steal gold. He is freed from the dragon’s form when Aslan scratches him and turns him back into a boy.

**Prince Rilian**
It is the heir to the throne of Narnia. Son of Caspian X and Ramandu’s daughter (killed by the Green Witch), he was enchanted by the Lady of the Green Robe (who, in the form of a serpent, had killed his mother) and held captive underground. Eustace, Jill and Puddleglum rescued him. His best friend is Drinian and he fell in love with the sorceress who was very beautiful. He was also called Rilian the Exorcised.
Presentation in the book
*« A young man with blond hair stood up to welcome them. He was handsome and seemed both straightforward and kind, though there was something strange about his face. He was dressed in black and, on the whole, vaguely reminded one of Hamlet. » (The Silver Chair, p.160)*
Quote
* *And finally, let us descend into the city to face the adventure that awaits us. Page 203*
* *My friends, said the prince, once a man has embarked on such an adventure, he must bid farewell to hope as to fear, otherwise his death or deliverance will come too late to save his honor and his sanity. Page 203*
