I beg thee, fair maiden, moaned Piouse, not to trouble our heads with these questions; I doubt whether we shall ever be worthy of attaining Avihsey. Don ' t worry about that now, said Surette. Come here and let me stroke your shell. Indif feraunce cast his donkey-eyes on Rivque and moved closer. Laeoh smiled at Zealos. Thence passed a most agree- able half-hour, with the knights recounting their adventures to the beautiful queens. Then it came time to part, for the knights hoped to reach the fortress by nightfall. Each queen gave her knight a small vial. Drink this, they were told, and you will be instantly returned to your former states. Good Luck! Most beautiful and gracious maidens, said Zealos, we thank thee, and hope to see you again! Oh, don ' t worry — you will, the queens assured them. The knights quaffed their potions and upon returning to their former states, seized their swords and ran into the for- est in the direction of Fortress Avihsey.

The three dejected changelings walked on. They soon reached a sunnier part of the forest in which stood a tower, all white and pink. A canopy adorned the area in front of the tower, and upon it were written these words; Welcome to Brookdale Ye Kingdome of Les Queens deTrois-Quatres ' Queens of Thirty-Fourth? moaned Indifferaunce. Surely, more sorceresses. I hope that they ' re friendly and can help us! The room which the knights entered was all white with one black wall. There, on particolored thrones, sat the queens, Surette, Rivque, and Laeoh. They looked up as the knights entered. Gastronomio ' s work, said Surette. The other two nodded. Nay, good lady, growled Zealos, for the rascal ' s name was Choparkalex. He has many names, said Surette, but they all mean heartburn . You know, you ' re cute Zealos, even if you are a lion. Where are you from? Is this your first year at Avihsey? What are you studying?

The gates of Fortress Avihsey were well-guarded, so the knights hid in the bushes and thought of how they could gain entry. They marvelled at the domes — golden once, now a dull green, and carefully studied the Saracen guards of Marmoraunce the Fearless, responsible for the Fortress ' security. Within, the knights knew, was the lair of the Re- gent Bakonio, who administered the rule of Avihsey, assist- ed by the Fair but Dangerous Epstilene. The knights decided that it would be foolhardy to try a direct attack upon the Fortress; they had to use trickery. The Queens had told them of Marmoraunce ' s only known weakness; he was deathly afraid of grass . They decided on a plan. From Choparkalex ' s inn they had stolen some oregano, a spicey substance which bears a striking resembl- ance to grass. They would stun Marmoraunce by flinging the oregano in his face, and then rout the leaderless Saracens and storm the castle.
