“So I guess the tapestry is finished, the story told,” Gundersnap said as she broke off the thread from her last stitch.
Really? thought Princess Kristen. The princess from the Realm of Rolm narrowed her eyes. In another part of the tapestry, some pale-green stitches looked the same color as the water in the lake where the campers swam, but it was as if the stitches had broken in the lake’s center and the head of something very strange was rising from the waves. It was rather frightening. And were there flames coming from its mouth? Was it some sort of dragon, a water dragon? Kristen squinted harder.
The tapestry was not finished! And this mystery was hers to solve, Kristen’s, the princess from the Isles of the Salt Tears in the Realm of Rolm. A dragon, though? There hadn’t been dragons for centuries. And here at Camp Princess? Maybe. She’d have to send for armor. The lightweight, waterproof, no-rust chain mail. She’d seen the perfect set in the Knights and Squires Survival Catalogue. And would her dad lend her his sword? Could she pray for a sword? It didn’t seem quite right…but maybe. Yes, by Saint Michael, patron saint of war, she could. If there was a patron saint, it was okay to pray—right?
Whatever!
