Alden, Edmand, and Allrun were riding , though Alden was running, along the path toward Gryphon`s Den, the nearest city. Allrun reigned in his pegasus, being a paladin he had the ability to summon these flying, celestial steeds, as he saw Tuln, the owl, flying toward them screeching three times.
"That means potential danger." Stated Alden, drawing his two-tipped spear (one tip on either end) and slowing down to a walk. The danger came into view as they came around a corner, it was a knight garbed entirely in black armor, riding a black horse and he guarded the entrance of a stone bridge that stretched over a great, rushing river.
"No one crosses this yonder bridge unlessith he defeats me in singleith combat!" Proclaimed the knight.
"I accept your challenge!" Edmand cried, stepping forward.
The knight slammed his heels into the flanks of his steed, the beast charged toward Edmand, the knight lowered his lance so it was level with his opponents chest. Edmand simply raised his hand said two words in the language of magic, and then a lighting bolt shot from his hand, struck the knight in the chest and flung him to the ground, where he lay motionless. The trio passed to the other side of the river. Some hours later, Alden heard Tuln`s cry again, except this time there was four cries.
"That means serious danger." Said Alden, and everyone drew their weapons...
