King Arthur blew his horn. “Stop the duel!” he cried.

He marched up to Tom and took the branch from him. “I see you have the heart of a lion, young man. But I need knights that are strong enough to bear their lances through a full day's hard riding.”

Tom groaned.

“DISQUALIFIED!”

Tom joined Isis on the sidelines.

“Poor Sir Smartypants,” she teased. “Shame they don't have a fact-spouting duel. You'd
definitely
win that.”

“Oh, thanks!” said Tom.

Isis sighed and patted his arm. “It was just a joke. You weren't too bad, all right?”

“You weren't too bad, either,” said Tom. “But right now Al's our only hope of getting close to a knight. And it's a knight we need, if we're going to find the amulet. So let's cheer him on.”
