Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Think. Think. Think. Princess Pulverizer had been certain that she would awaken with a great idea for rescuing all of Sir Surly's prisoners. But the sun was now shining through the leaves of the tree where she'd fallen asleep, and she had no plan at all. Sir Surly would be a worthy opponent. He wasn't just mean. He was smart, too. He'd fooled a king and his knights into fearing an imaginary beast! One wrong move, and she could become the next prisoner in that

cottage. "YOU! DRAGON!" Princess Pulverizer was startled by Sir Surly's shouts from inside the cottage. "Kill that spider! Now!" the evil knight demanded. "You're such a baby," the princess heard Dribble snort. "You won't think I'm a baby when I slay you," Sir Surly snarled at Dribble. "Which is exactly what I'm going to do if you don't kill that spider. Don't think I won't." Princess Pulverizer's magic sword didn't move at all. Sir Surly was telling the truth. He would slay Dribble if given the chance. Things were really getting bad in there. There was no time to waste. Princess Pulverizer had to come up with a plan to rescue Dribble and Lucas, fast. She wished she could just go back to Yabko-kokomo and tell the knights that there was no beast, and it was safe to go into the orchard

and rescue Sir Surly's prisoners. But why would they believe her? They didn't even know her. "AAAAHHHHHH! There's a snake in the cupboard!" Sir Surly exclaimed from inside his cottage. "Somebody get rid of that thing!" Princess Pulverizer laughed in spite of herself. It was too bad she couldn't bring a whole army of spiders and snakes into the orchard. That would make the evil knight fall to his knees. But there was no way one person could drag that many spiders and snakes into one place. Or was there? Knock. Knock. It wasn't until the following day that Princess Pulverizer arrived once again at the front door of Sir Surly's cottage. She was sorry to have left Dribble and Lucas with the evil

knight for so long, but some plans took time. And craftiness. Knock. Knock. Princess Pulverizer pounded harder on the door. "Hello?" she called out. "Anybody home?" The princess heard rustling inside the cottage. Then she heard armor clanking and footsteps stomping. Finally, the door swung open. "WHO DARES TO DISTURB SIR SURLY?" Princess Pulverizer looked up at the evil knight. His face was tight and angry. He seemed poised for a fight. This was one scary guy. But the princess refused to let Sir Surly know she was frightened. That would give him a great advantage. Instead, she forced herself to smile. "It's really you!" she squealed. "Sir Surly!" "Who else would I be?" the knight demanded.

"I'm so excited to meet you. I'm your biggest fan. In fact, I'm president of the Sir Surly Fan Club." Princess Pulverizer's sword began to shake. It knew what a big lie that was. "I have a fan club?" Sir Surly asked, amazed. "I mean, of course I have a fan club. I'm fantastic!" "Ever since I heard the story of how you rescued the princess of BialyBogen, I have been just dying to meet you," Princess Pulverizer told him. "I never saved...," Sir Surly began. Then he caught himself. "I mean, I never thought of myself while I was in that avalanche. I thought only of the princess's safety. I am a very brave knight."
