So the Baron, Isadora, and Marcus Pointdexter used the magnetic grass as a golden compass to find their way out of the deadly maze. When they emerged on the other side, the sun was setting in the distance, burning the landscape around it like a fiery globe. The air was painted pink and orange, and the Baron was sure that Isadora had never looked more beautiful.

“Isadora—” said The Baron.

“Yes?” She looked at him intently. “Have you got a plan? To evade the ghastly gharials?”

They all looked down at the gharial-infested moat, the creatures savagely snapping their jaws.

“They look especially hungry,” said Marcus Pointdexter. “Vicious things. Legend has it that they are 100% lethal.”

“Our chances aren’t good,” said The Baron.

“But you do have a plan?” Isadora asked.

“I do. But … before we have the chance to capitulate to our watery graves, I … I need to tell you something."

“And I need to tell YOU something,” she said.

“Of course I can.”

“All right. Pointdexter, climb into my knapsack, I’ll strap it to my back. I’ll go in first and fight the crocodilians off. Isadora, you swim in my wake. I’ll protect you from the front.”

Isadora whips out her pistol.

“And I’ll protect you from the back.”

She loaded the gun.

“Holy Moldavia!” said The Baron. “That’s a handsome pistol. Ivory?”

“You have a good eye, Baron. Let’s go.”
