"Why?" Princess Pulverizer asked. "We were looking for a good deed to do, and now we have one." "You were looking for a good deed to do," Lucas insisted. "I just wanted to get out of Salamistonia." "Me, we, same thing," Princess Pulverizer said. "Not exactly," Lucas said nervously. "Are you sure we're going the right way?" Dribble asked Princess Pulverizer. "We've been walking a really long time." "Oh, I'm sure. Read the signs." The princess pointed to the warnings posted on the nearby trees.

"That settles it!" Lucas insisted. "I'm going back. I don't want to be turned into a lizard." "Don't worry," Princess Pulverizer told Lucas. "You and Dribble aren't going into the Wizard of Wurst's tower. Only I am." Lucas stopped and looked at her. "I don't want you to be turned into a lizard, either." "I won't be," Princess Pulverizer promised. Although she wasn't entirely sure it was the

truth. "How exactly do you plan to get into the wizard's tower?" Dribble asked. "You can't just walk in uninvited." "I haven't figured that part out yet," Princess Pulverizer admitted. "I guess I'll have to trick him into inviting me in." "Trick him?" Dribble asked. "You're going to trick a wizard?" "Sure," Princess Pulverizer replied confidently. "It worked before. I fooled the ogre into letting me into his castle when I found out he'd stolen jewels from the Queen of Shmergermeister." "Ogres aren't known for their brains," Lucas pointed out. "They're easy to fool. But wizards are smart." "Judging by these signs, this wizard is also really mean," Dribble added. "Wizards have magic," Lucas warned. "They turn people into frogs, bats, and even mosquitoes—which is really bad, because bats

eat mosquitoes. You don't want to get eaten, do you?" Princess Pulverizer didn't answer Lucas's question. She hadn't even heard Lucas's question. In fact, she hadn't heard a single thing he'd said after the word magic. "Magic," Princess Pulverizer repeated excitedly. "I'll use magic to get into that tower." "Um... I hate to be the one to point this out, but you don't have magic powers," Dribble said. "You don't even know any magic spells. You're not a wizard." Princess Pulverizer smiled broadly. "Exactly," she agreed mysteriously.
