Chapter 12: Good as any knight

Meanwhile, Ruber and his men were camping, roasting the dragon that Ruber had killed on the spit. Bladebeak takes a slice out, humming.

Bladebeak presented, "Dragon a la king!"

Ruber takes it and eats it.

Bladebeak added hesitantly, "It's such a pleasant relief from, uh, chicken."

Ruber commented, "I can't believe I'm reduced to chasing two little girls, a blind man and a pigeon! (to the Griffin as he throws the dragon meat to him) Find them all and report back to me!"

The Griffin didn't respond even after taking a bite. Ruber grabs the Griffin's head in annoyance.

Ruber asked, "Did you hear me?"

The Griffin responded, "Sorry, Master. My mouth was full."

Ruber stated, "Typical. Of all the evil creatures in the world, I had to find one with table manners."

The Griffin flies off.

Ruber added, "And no mistakes! Or I'll make space on the spit for you. (to Bladebeak) Hey, useless! Rendezvous with the wagons and tell them to press on."

Bladebeak runs off.

Ruber announced, "As soon as I have Excalibur, we'll join them and the kingdom will be mine."

Ruber laughs evilly. The smell of meat flows down to the forest.

Meanwhile, our heroes continues walking through the forest.

Cornwall said, "I'm starving. All these heroics worked up my appetite! (sniffing the smell) Hey, hey. Something smells delicious."

Devon agreed, "Ooh, yes. I could whip up a little something."

Garrett announced, "Well, here's where we stop."

Kayley asked, "Stop? But what about Excalibur?"

Garrett stated, "No one travels through the Forbidden Forest after dark."

Kayley commented, "Well, our father, Sir Lionel, would have."

Garrett stops in his tracks, looking shocked. He had forgotten that since Alanna is Sir Lionel's daughter, that would make Kayley her sister.

Alanna corrected, "Even so, Kayley, sometimes knights need to rest in order to regain their strength for the next day."

Devon and Cornwall tries to make a fire out of twigs.

Cornwall said, "C'mon, baby, c'mon! Light my fire!"

Devon commented, "You know, there's nothing more pathetic than a flame-retardant dragon."

Devon took over rubbing the twig against the pile.

Cornwall said, "Hey, Devon! You blew fire!"

Devon looks at the pile.

Cornwall corrected, "No, no. My mistake. Just hot air!"

Before Devon could do something to Cornwall, the twig he was holding comes alive and starts running off, the other twigs following. Devon and Cornwall looked at each other confused before chasing after them.

Garrett confessed, "Kayley, I must tell you. I knew your father."

Kayley asked surprised, "You did?"

Alanna added, "That's how Garrett and I knew each other before. I met him the first time I came to Camelot with father and that was a little bit before his blindness."

Garrett explained, "I used to live in Camelot. I was a stable boy, but I dreamt of becoming a knight. One evening, there was a fire. I rushed to save the horses, but... well, I was hurt. At first, all I can see was shapes, then shadows. Finally, my world went black. After I lost my sight, your father and sister were the only ones who still believe in me. He told me that a knight's strength comes from his heart and his loyalty to the oath of Camelot."

As Garrett narrated his story, Alanna can hear her father's voice saying, "United we stand, (joined by hers and Garrett's younger selves) now and forever."

Garrett concluded, "Any hope I had of becoming a knight died with him."

Kayley commented, "We felt that way too, but we knew he wouldn't want us to give up."

Alanna supported, "He wouldn't want you to give up either, Garrett. You are good as any knight in Camelot."

Garrett asked hopefully, "You really think so?"

Alanna smiles, even though she knew he couldn't see it. She then gently grabbed his hand, squeezing it lightly like he did to her when she heard of her father's death.

With Devon and Cornwall, they are still chasing after the twig.

Cornwall said, "Hey stick! Come back. Come back, stick!"

They ended up losing it. Ayden laughed.

Cornwall stated, "I've got three words for you, birdie: 'Dinner is served.'"

He grabs Ayden and swallows him, but then Ayden comes out of Devon's mouth unharmed.

Alanna asked curiously, "So how long has Ayden been with you?"

Garrett answered, laying down some leaves to make a makeshift bed, "Since I came to live here. He just appeared one day as if destiny is watching over me. He taught me all the secrets of the forest. What can hurt you and what can heal you."

After taking the bloodied bandage off her hand, Alanna subtly took a purple leaf and placed on her palm. Waiting a few more seconds, she saw the leaf suddenly dissolve and evaporate magically, her scratch completely gone as if it wasn't there.

Garrett continued, drawing Alanna's attention back to Garrett, "With Ayden as my eyes, I can survive anything. Look, I'll show you. (demonstrating) I take my position, faced my fears, (poking his staff to the plant, opening up to reveal its tongue with a red bulb on the end) and hold my ground until the last, possible moment, waiting for Ayden's signal (Ayden chirps the signal, Garrett moving at the right time as the tongue swings out towards him) to evade!"

He whacks the tongue on the tip with the staff, making it dizzy.

Garrett commented, "See? Simple. Now you try."

He hands his staff to Alanna.

Alanna said slightly nervous, "All right. No problem."

Garrett instructed, "Take your position."

Alanna repeated, taking a deep breath, "Take my position."

Garrett repeated, "Face your fears."

Alanna echoed, letting it out, "Face my fears."

The plant regained consciousness.

Garrett concluded, "And hold your ground until the last possible moment."

The plant swings its tongue at Alanna, who tries to knock it out, but misses and the tongue hits her in the stomach, knocking her backwards into Garrett's arms. Ayden chirps.

Garrett commented, "Well, you moved too soon."

Alanna retorted lightly, "No kidding."

Garrett stares out in blank space, glad to be with his childhood friend again. Alanna smiles while blushing. Unknown to the two, Kayley gave a knowing smile.

Then the moment was ruined when Devon and Cornwall came back.

Devon announced, "Stand clear!"

Cornwall stated, "Coming through."

They walked in between Garrett and Alanna.

Devon requested, "Mind your backs."

Cornwall said, "Nice try, buddy."

Devon inquired, "I say, Alanna, do you have a light?"

At the camp at night, Ruber grabs a handful of burning coal and lifts them up high to his face.

Ruber said softly, "When I get my hands on those girls..."

He growls evilly as he clutches the coals in his hand.
