"Absolutely not", said Robin Hood.
"Please!"
"You are not using Rolland to defeat a dragon! The favor I owed the Dark One is paid! Why isn't he with you, anyway?"
"He's dead."
"Oh. Wait, why am I negotiating with a teenage girl?"
"Because I'm far more powerful than you'll ever be."
"Well, someone's cocky. Can you shoot a bow and arrow?"
"With deadly accuracy."
"Well, let's just see."
He handed me his bow and an arrow, and told me to shoot a small red dot no bigger than a dime that was about 200 yards away. I shot, and hit the dot right in the center. I'd picked that up in Neverland.
"Impressive. Let's see you split the arrow."
I did, and then fixed it with magic.
"Allright. You're good. But you're not getting my son."
"Why don't you ask him?"
"What?"
"Why don't you ask Rolland what he wants?"
"He's only two! He doesn't know what he wants!"
"Children can know a lot. I could swordfight when I was 4."
"Who are your parents, girl?"
"Captain Hook, and Milah."
"Wasn't Milah the Dark One's wife?"
"Yeah."
"So you're Baelfire's sister."
"I am."
He seemed to reconsider. "Fine. I'll ask."
He brought the boy over. "Rolland, do you want to help this girl defeat a dragon."
Rolland looked up. "Yeah!"
"It's dangerous."
"I want to be a hero!"
"Fine." He handed Rolland over to me. "You be careful with him!"
"I swear on my life", I said. Swearing on your life is a big deal - if you break it, you die.
As we were leaving, Robin Hood added, "Good luck, Elizabeth."
I walked back to the other 5.
"He's so cute", said Charlotte.
"He is. And powerful."
Bae spoke up. "Um, I think we have even more problems now."
We looked up. The dragon was rampaging again. And from the opposite direction, a great big cloud was coming.
"Oh, great", I said, "More problems."
A/N: Tomorrow, the big dragon fight! And you'll find out what the cloud is.
