In this chapter of the story, we see our
brave and intrepid knight, Sir CoinLt heading off into the sunrise
on his solitary Quest to confront and kill or capture the ferocious
dragon. for 30 days , the Knight Commander has sallied forth
across the Land of Coinalot and yet he is no closer to his quarry
then he was on the very first day. On the 31st day, however,
Sir CoinLt sees a solitary person standind by the road, almost hidden
by the heavy morning mist.

Sir CoinLt :A Good Morning to you good sir .

Stranger : Good morning to you , Sir CoinLt.

Sir CoinLt : How so doth thee knoweth my name?

Stranger : I have prayed with a full heart and a mighty will for your Quest
to succeed Sir Knight. I know that you seeketh the Dragon, called
Coinosaurus Rex. Last night,after evening prayers I went into
a deep sleep and thus did dream of things that may illuminate your
Quest Sir Knight.

Sir CoinLt : Who art thou good sir, that ye should have such knowledge.
What hath thee seen in dreams, to light the dark and so far futile, journey
I have undertaken?

Stranger : Good Knight, I am the Bishop Keets. In the deepest part of my dream last night,
Did I spy your Dragon, not 4 days ride from here. He doth dwelleth in a great cave
by a magical place, called "The Dark Waters of the Forumesium Lake"
. I would wish to tell you more Sir Knight, but at that very point in the dream
all came to a sudden ending . I awakened while the darkness still
ruled the world and threw on my clothing and hurried forth with, to meet you here,
by the side of the road, upon first light of day.

Sir Coinalot : I thank thee good Bishop. For thy dream must be Heaven, sent ,to aid my noble Quest.
I bid thee well, good Bishop Keets and am off to to fulfill my Knightly Obligation.


Bishop Keets : Fare well noble Knight, may the hand of Divine Providence protect and guide thee on
thy Quest.

Another 4 long days of hard travel passes for our dauntless Knight, when suddenly, he spies
"The Dark Waters of Forumesium Lake". From the nearby cave, our Knight errant hears the
chilling roar of a mighty beast and can smell the noxious ,sulfurous miasma, omnipresent around
dragons and such as Chicken Charlie or even Sir Marty the Mad ,when thy hath been too long into
their beans and such.

Sir Coin Lt : Come forth most foul dragon. Meet me in fair and open combat, for I hath sworn a mighty
oath to render justice on thee for thy foul and terrible deeds.

Coinosaurus : I say good knight, tis unseemly for one of such fresh and tender aquaintance, too bespeak
such horrible epithets against a dragon of noble heart. I threaten thee not, nor have I harmed
a single hair on the head of anyof the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Coinalot.


With that, the mighty dragon brings his enormous length of 100 feet, snout to tail, in the open,
to face Sir Coinalot. The dragon doth indeed sporteth a mouth of gigantic proportions, with wings
to lift is might bulk in skyward flights and four massive limbs upon which sprout claws at least two
feet in length.

Sir Coinalot : Coinasorous, wilt though now engage in personal combat, with a Knight of the Realm?
Tis to be a battle to the death. What sayuth thee Most Foul of serpents?

What will happen.

Will the Dragon accept the Challenge?
Will Sir CoinLt survive the encounter?
What kind of dragon are we dealing with here?
Will Good Bishop Keets once again appear in the knick of time?
Will the Good Bishop Keets be wearing Knickers?
What mysteries and questions will be answered?
What will be the ramifications back at the Court of Good King ArtR?

Stay tuned for Chapter 5 which will appeareth on Friday. You will
be amazed, astounded, repulsed, frightened even. However, things
will not be the same after the next chapter.
There once was a place called
Camelotimage

    Great story! I can't wait for Part 5!

    Sir Coinalot may want to have himself measured in centimeters, and comparing that with measuring the dragon Coinosaurus in feet, then Sir Coinalot has a higher count than Coinosaurus. (Sorry, I've been watching too many of these political shows.) image

    For such a large beast he sure has a taste for small coins! image
