Fred's knightly education, not to mention his own instincts, made it hard
for him
to think ill of a lady. "Of course I'll help you," he said. "But if you
are cursed
to be a dragon, then how is it that you are not one now?" "Outside the
caverns, the
sun must have risen. The curse makes me into a dragon from sunset to
sunrise. Of course,
down here it's hard to get any idea of time, so I'm never quite sure when
I am
due to change. Part of the curse is that I may not leave the caves in my
human form,
though by night as a dragon I may fly out of them so long as I return by
dawn. If I am
caught above ground at sunrise then I will die. And I will also die if I
do not kill
and eat one person every night."
That's terrible," said Fred. "But how can I help?"
