Now They Are Five

"There's no need to take that attitude," Astra responded. "We're just as much victims as you are. I'm Princess Astra of Aqualaria, that is Princess Amalie of the Floating Aisles, and that..."

"Is Princess Exotica of Allaria," Fred interrupted. "Princess, how did you get here?"

"Hello, Lord Fred. Just after you left the Palace to set out on your quest, I was transported into the caves by some magic. The same thing had happened to Astra and Amalie. We were all chained to beds in adjacent chambers, but Astra managed to break free and then freed me and Amalie. So who's this?"

"I am Princess Mary of Hespan. I think I owe everyone an apology."

"So is the dragon collecting princesses?" Fred wondered.

"Could be," Amalie said. "He probably hopes to ransom us."

1. Fred attempts to guide the princesses to the exit from the caves.
2. "It might not be the dragon's doing after all," Fred realises. "It could be Belboz." "Who?" the princesses all ask.
3. Exotica claims that, since Fred is Allarian, by rights she rather than Mary should wear his top shirt. This starts a furious argument.
