“This is rediculous...I'm not
singing anymore. I'm royalty, after all.” Esperanza crossed her
arms.
The knight looked up at her with
alarm, “But the boat said...” She shook her head.
“FINISH THE SONG,” bellowed
the vessel's head.
Essie shook her head one more
time.
“THE SONG!”
“Figures...” Sir Diego
mumbled as he pinched his nose. The boat rocked back and forth until
it flipped upside down.
The princess flew to the shore,
feeling a little sheepish that her actions resulted in the knight
getting soaked. “Rediculous mystical piece of junk,” she
muttered as she saw it floating back downstream. “Now where has
that big person gone?”
The big person in question was
just emerging from the river on the opposite shore. “Thank you,
milady,” he called out, “Thank you for the lovely swim on this
scorching summer's day.” He sneezed, violently. “I do believe I
will head home now before I run across any other wizards or fairies
or magical boats or cages...I need a nap.”
Princess Esperanza watched the
knight trudge away, talking to himself the whole way. She smiled to
herself and turned towards the setting sun. Getting home would be a
3 day journey, but after today's adventure she had no doubts that she
would get there. And probably have some more stories to tell.
