The girl, Diana, had given Fred a good answer, but he still did not trust
her.
However, whatever the truth of the matter, she was still a young girl in a
dangerous
place, and he could not just abandon her. He did not want to delay his
quest, but
he felt that he would be failing in his duty as a knight and a lord if he
did not escort her at
least to the cave entrance. At least he had not as yet penetrated very
deeply into
the caverns, so the delay would not be more than a few hours.
So Fred showed Diana to the entrance. Then he pointed to the path leading downhill and to the north. "If you follow that path, then eventually it will take you back to Caemlyn. That is a long journey, but you should reach the nearest village before nightfall, where you will be able to get help. I am sorry that I can come with you no further, but I have a dragon to kill."
