First the good part: This wasn't that hard to fix the problems introduced by dumping the raw, original text in without thinking about how the MediaWiki parser would mangle it. Now the bad part: This needs a lot of work. I'd suggest adding it to the "Editing Request" category because it could really use the help of a good editor - there are numerous violations of common English grammar and what look, to me, to be a massive amount of spelling errors. But those problems can be fixed! And a suggestion: For any story longer than 4000 or 5000 words adding sections - like those that get automatically added by the {{part}} template makes the story easier to read and navigate, since the parser will automatically generate a table of contents if there are four or more section.

Might also be good to move these to a less generic-sounding title. I originally suggested something along the lines of Dragons of Histh Book the One back when this was inadvertantly posted on a category page, which is easily extendable to the other books in the same manner.
