Chapter 1 "I'm boiling in here," Lucas said, lifting his visor higher over his head. "It's not easy wearing armor in hot weather." Princess Pulverizer frowned. Lucas had no right to complain. She'd give anything to be wearing armor in this—or any—weather. All Princess Pulverizer had ever wanted to be was a knight in shining armor. Not that Lucas's armor was particularly shining. It was more like rusting. But still... "It's definitely warm out," Dribble the dragon said. "Even hotter than my flame!"

Dribble was exaggerating, of course. But it was a hot day. And to make things worse, there was a terrible stink in the air. Where was that coming from, anyway? The princess sniffed under her armpits. Yikes! The stink was coming from her. Quickly she lowered her arms to hide the stains forming under her armpits. Caw. Caw. Caw. Princess Pulverizer looked up to see three gray-and-white birds fly by. "How about we find a nice sea breeze?" she suggested. Dribble looked around. "I don't see any water. Just dirt and grass." "There must be a beach over those hills," Princess Pulverizer said, pointing up at the birds. "Where there are seagulls, there's usually a sea." "I could go for a swim in the ocean," Dribble said. "Not me," Lucas said. "I'm a terrible swimmer. But I would like to go somewhere

cooler." "Then it's settled," Princess Pulverizer said. "Follow those birds!" "We'll battle storms, hoist the sails, and pray we stay afloat. For we are sailors all our lives and loyal to this boat." When she and her friends reached the beach, Princess Pulverizer spotted a ship and some sailors. They were cleaning their ship and checking the sails for rips and tears. As they worked, they sang joyfully.
