George and the Dragon Page #3

Perhaps,

my Iiege, l may be

of some assistance.

My lord, may l introduce...

Lord, if l may be so bold...

This is my introduction.

The dragon horn!

How did you come by this?

ls Sir Robert dead?

No, my good lord.

He is old but well.

And prays for your good health

and Iong life.

Come here.

Come, come closer.

Those eyes,

l'd know those eyes anywhere.

-You must be...

-Yes, I'm son of Sir Robert.

WeIl, nothing couId

delight me more than to know

that the son of my old

comrade in arms

is joining the search.

There is a reward, you know.

Money's no object.

No, my lord.

I seek only one thing.

Just a small parcel of land.

Enough for a cottage, a garden,

two heads of cattle...

Your modesty touches me.

-Do you think it's too late?

-Sire, l'm sure she's fine.

l'll wager there isn't a Pict

within a day's ride of her.

lt must be the horses.

So we took the better haIf of a day

to get around a tree,

did we? l swear if l had a coin

for every time you were late,

l could pave this country in goId.

l'm sorry, sir. lt took a longer

than we thought. There was a big...

We have no time for chit-chat.

We have to make camp

by daybreak.

Let's see what England

has to offer us.

Let's go!

Would you care for

some liquorice?

Thank you.

lt must be an acquired taste.

And has the Princess Lunna

acquired the taste?

l do beIieve she has.

Then you are destined

to be together.

ls there a princess

in your life?

No, aIl women l've come across

are more trouble than they're worth.

Then you most certainIy

have not met my Lunna.

She is as gentle

and agreeable as a lamb.

l shalI look forward

to making her acquaintance.

Dismount.

l have scoured these woods for

tracks, and l have found none.

So, the Picts have wings?

No, they have boats.

They came from the water

whiIe the princess was in the Iake.

And they will never suspect

we have them too.

-We do?

-l see nothing but trees.

And from trees come boats.

All right, you men.

Dismount.

Fell the timber here.

You men rearward, take your horses

and drag the poles to the lake.

And you, get me another

roll of liquorice.

-Care for another, George?

-No, keep it for yourself,

my Iord.

Stand aside.

Yes, my Iord.

Shall we?

Garth,

appears we may have

some company.

Flanks!

George.

Thank you.

Garth, axe.

You know,

this is getting us nowhere.

-Having fun?

-Yeah, can l borrow this?

Catch.

Thanks.

Elm's gone looking for trouble.

Can you look after these

on your own?

-l don't need you, just your axe.

-Axe and you shall receive.

No, come back!

My sword!

You all right, EIm?

l surely had them

on the run, l did.
