They drew their weapons silently. Each knight looked in a different direction. Mel crept behind a boulder.

“Maybe they’re gone,” said Hector.

Then a tree crashed down beside him, and all was thrown into chaos.

Terrible lizards of all shapes and sizes roared and gnashed teeth and chomped at one another. Great tails swung out. Enormous clawed feet pounded the ground.

And then they noticed the knights. That was when things really got started.

The knights and Mel ran for their lives.

The ferns gave way to a rocky landscape. Hills of stone rose up everywhere. In a wall of solid rock there was one narrow crevice.

“In here!” shouted Erec.

The knights squeezed through the opening in single file. Sparks flew as their armor scraped against the rock walls. One spark lit the weapons sack on fire, but Mel immediately smothered it. At the opening of the crevice the terrible lizards screamed and roared and scraped claws against stone, but it was no use. They were too large to follow.

The crevice turned into a very long passage, and the knights shuffled through it. Eventually it opened up into a craterlike area surrounded on all sides by steep rock walls. The crevice appeared to be the only entrance. In the center of the crater was a peaceful lake, shimmering in the late-afternoon sun.

“We’ll be safe here. It’s hot. I suggest we have a swim to restore ourselves,” said Erec.

He glanced at the Black Knight and Mel.

“Er, undertunics on. I think we all can agree.”

The knights did agree. It was the first thing they had agreed on all day.

Mel, who was not a strong swimmer, opted to sit by the water’s edge and organize the armor and weapons. She laid them out against the rocks.

The others stripped to their underthings and waded into the water.

It felt really, really good.
