Duty Calls

"Yes. Either I was wrong, or someone must have killed the dragon."

"What! How dare they? That's my quest. I must go back and find out. If the dragon is not dead, then I still have a job to do. If it is dead, then there's still that Aqualarian princess to be rescued, not to mention those other maidens who you told me about. Besides, we seem to have lost Velus somewhere along the way."

"But it's nice here. Can't we just lie under the trees for a while, have some food and drink from the supplies in your pack, and relax? Do you know how long it's been since I last saw the sun?"

"No."

"Well neither do I, actually. There was no way of keeping track of time down there. But it seemed like a very long time...

1. "So if you go back into the caves, you will go alone."
2. "But I suppose that it's my duty to go with you. The knowledge that I have gained of the dragon and his habits may be valuable."
3. "I... Hey, we have company!" Sure enough, someone was approaching the knight and the naked princess through the trees.
