I looked over at Galahad and smiled. He reached over and took my hand but pulled away quickly at the sound of the piercing voice by my ear. "Now you two, back off. None of that." For about the fiftieth time I was tempted to throw the Golem off my shoulder. I looked over at Galahad and could see he thought the same.

"Are we there yet?" I didn't mean to complain but the combination of my fatigue, the incessant babble of Grundy, and my frustration with not being able to even touch Galahad I was quite pissed.

"Almost sweetie. Almost." Looking Grundy straight in the eye he leaned over and kissed me.

"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!" Grundy yelled before he was knocked off my shoulder by Galahad. We stood there enthralled in each other for a few minutes and instantly I felt a little better. He pulled away, reluctantly and while I didn't want to let him go I did. He kept his hand in mine and picked Grundy up with the other. "NO NO NO!!!" Grundy yelled. Galahad looked at him and he stopped.

"Look Golem. You may have a big mouth but I'm just bigger. Now you are here to prevent us from summoning the stork, THAT'S IT! So will you please desist?" Grundy kept chattering, a smug look on his face and Galahad looked at me. He squeezed my hand. "I love you."

"I love you too." He smiled at him but then something caught my eye. I turned back around and saw a huge wall. "What?"

"Oh come on, you can't be that stupid." Grundy said. "Obviously this is the first challenge." The wall appeared to extend outwards on both sides as far as we could see. It was about twenty feet tall and was sheer steel, impossible to scale.

"What are we going to do? This is impossible." I sat down, flustered.

"It's not impossible. There has to be a way and it is most likely related to one of our talents, and most likely not Grundy's. So, mine is sword wielding and yours is seeing the truth. I don't think my sword will help at all."

"But there's no one around for me to get the truth from." I lay back on the grass facing the wall. I ran my eyes over looking for something, anything that would clue us in. Sitting along the fence line were numerous potatoes. They seemed to be of common variety and looked a lot like the ones from home...from Mundania. I continued to stare and slowly something began to form it was a door, in the wall. I sat up quickly looking at Galahad. "Do you see that?"

"See what?" He was attempting to scale the wall, unsuccessfully.

"The door!"

"What door?!"

"The one that's right..." I looked and saw it was gone. I must have imagined it. "Nevermind." I lay back down.

"No, Averia if you think you saw something you probably did. Now what were you doing." I recounted what I had done and he looked puzzled. He lay down next to me to see if he saw anything but had no luck.

"OH COME ON! HOW STUPID ARE YOU TOO? I TRIED TO GIVE YOU THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT BUT BOY ARE YOU STUPID!" Grundy yelled. "Boy! Go grab one of the potatoes." Galahad did so, glaring. "Now hand it to the babe." He did.

"What do you expect me to do with a potato?"

"Oh, I see.' Galahad said. "Those black things, those are the eyes of the potato. Look into them, see if you can use your talent on it." I looked and saw a door. Then I heard Galahad yell. "THAT'S IT." I looked up and he groaned. "No. Don't break contact with the potato." I looked back at it and Galahad came over and took my hand. He led me towards the door outline and pushed on. The area that had once been solid was now easily moveable and we walked through.

"Thanks." I said, embarrassed that I hadn't thought of it.

"No problem. Well, two down, one to go."
