Chapter 8 Princess Pulverizer yawned and rubbed her eyes. It had been a long night. She'd walked for miles leaving fake hoofprints in places unicorns would never actually go.

It would be nice to close her eyes for a few minutes. Then she—ZZZZ... "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Dribble's thunderous shout bolted Princess Pulverizer upright from her slumber. "How can you sleep?" the dragon demanded. "The sun is almost up. Those knights are about to go on their hunt." The princess blinked twice and looked up at Dribble, Fortune, and Lucas. "I wasn't sleeping," she insisted. "Are you kidding?" Dribble asked. "You were snoring louder than a yeti." Princess Pulverizer was about to reply when she heard the familiar sound of a trumpet blaring. She knew what that meant. "Come on!" The princess scrambled to her feet. "The hunt has started!" "I can't believe they're falling for those fake hoofprints I left," Princess Pulverizer said.

The sun was bright now, and she and her pals were hiding behind a clump of trees, watching the knights on their hunt. "Everyone knows unicorns don't use public bathrooms." A iii "They don't use private bathrooms, either." Lucas giggled. "No unicorns in here," Gordon shouted to the others as he walked out of the outhouse. "But it does smell beastly." "I found more tracks!" Filippo called.

Gordon and Humphrey went running. Princess Pulverizer and her pals snuck quietly behind some fences and a building, following them. "These lead to Mr. Wasserbagel's bakery," Filippo said. "I'm hungry. Maybe we can get a cookie while we look?" "King Harvey said no eating until we bring him that horn," Gordon replied. "The door's locked anyway," Humphrey added. Gordon looked around the side of the shop. "Here are some other tracks," he said. "They seem to be pointing toward Farmer Silosorter's fields, leading toward the corn maze he created for the harvest festival." "Wow! Look at the size of those hoofprints," Humphrey added. "That unicorn must be massive. I bet he's the leader!" Dribble stood tall and puffed his green chest proudly.

"Don't get any ideas," Princess Pulverizer whispered. "Your feet—and therefore your shoes—are just bigger than ours. That doesn't make you the leader." The princess and her pals continued sneaking behind the knights as they followed more hoofprints. "I think they're hiding in here!" Gordon exclaimed, stopping at the edge of a large corn field. "You guys left hoofprints in the corn maze?" Princess Pulverizer asked Dribble. "Now it's a uni-corn maze." Dribble laughed. "You're not the only one who can tell a good joke." "These tracks lead right," Filippo said. "But those lead left," Humphrey added. "And some go straight ahead," Gordon noted. CLANG. CLINK. CLONK.
