DRAGON'S LAIR

Long ago, in a magical time, a good King
named Aethelred ruled a peaceful kingdom. Mow
his kingdom had many treasures, but its greatest
prize was Princess Daphne, the King's only child.
Brave Knights and handsome Princes came from
afar just to pay her court, for she was a maiden of
exceeding beauty, and grace.

But, though they laid vast riches at her feet and
pleaded most earnestly for her hand. Princess
Daphne refused them all. For her heart had long
been given to another. . .Dirk the Daring, the
Kings champion and bravest Knight.

Then one dark day. Singe an evil dragon who
ruled over a shadowed land, appeared in
Aethelred's kingdom and demanded that the
King deliver up his kingdom and people to him.
When Aethelred refused Singe's vile demand, the
monster kidnapped the beautiful Daphne and
imprisoned her in a crystal sphere in the horrible
dungeons beneath his enchanted castle. Singe
then sent Aethelred this message:

Relinquish yoUr kingdom before the setting sun
or your beloved daughter will perish. Aethelred
and all the people of the kingdom were plunged
into despair. All except for Dirk who vowed to go
to the enchanted castle and free the Princess... if
he could survive the dungeon's many perils. . .if
he could reach the Dragon's lair. . .
