Tyranny Of The Black Knight (Hero Stories)/Part 6

After a while of following the path towards the mountain, Snappy noticed the land began to look scorched and burnt.

"Was the little Smurfling talking about the area up ahead?" Snappy asked Caliburn.

"Yes, indeed. And it appears the dragon is away right now." Caliburn answered, as they finally entered the mountain. They noticed the cave's walls and ceilings were covered with diamonds.

"Our only way lies through the cave..." Caliburn advised, sounding somewhat uneasy.

"What, are you scared or something?" Snappy asked, as they continued to follow the path deeper into the mountain. At a certain point on their travels, they came into a location where the ceiling was covered with stalactites.

"Beware of falling stalactites!" Caliburn advised again, sounding really sincere.

Suddenly, a lone stalactite broke from the ceiling and fell to the ground. Snappy noticed it just in time to dive out of the way. He looked up at the ceiling and could hear a minor cracking sound.

"I guess this isn't gonna be as easy as I smurfed!" Snappy said, looking at the broken shards of the stalactite, before continuing on his way.

As they traveled further down the path, Snappy and Caliburn was attacked by bats. Snappy covered his face; whilst trying to shoo the bats away.

"Ugh. Smurf outta my way or I'll let you have it!" Snappy said, sounding really agitated. "I really hate bats!"

"You're not the only one!" Caliburn added.

As their journey down the path continued, they eventually came to a dead end.

"What the?" Snappy said, in frustration. "Now where do I smurf?"

"Look around for a way up!" Caliburn answered. They looked around for a while to find something to use to climb the wall, Caliburn soon spotted a mushroom that appeared to be useful.

"Couldn't you use that mushroom to jump to a higher elevation?" Caliburn asked Snappy.

"I suppose I could," Snappy answered, before he got onto the mushroom and began to bounce on it.
