THE END

I was thinking this might qualify as the longest intermission in the history of man.  Then I consulted the writers.  Sounds like the end has come.  New projects and pursuits beckon.  Ethelred, Wolfric, Mi-Ima, Lisa, Jay and the monkeys no longer hold any charms.  Ah, well, at least this way no one got hurt.

EPISODE 5: THE FIGHT STARTS (Bethany's title)

D:  Ethelred mounted the monster, and the two soared into the firmament, the dragon's bat-like wings casting a shadow of fear upon the attacking throngs.  Ethelred gripped the reigns, steered his steed to the rear of the enemy's ranks, and cried out, "Dragon!  Breath upon the masses!"

B:  The 10 dragons that were in Wolfric the Wild's armies spewed out fire towards Ethelred's dragon.  Then, they pushed themselves back towards the back of the army as the second-in-command yelled, "Get back, so what Ethelred's dragon breathes won't hit you!"  Meanwhile, Mi-Ima had reached the shore of France, and had been greeted by a relative of hers named Mishayla. 

P:  The army that was coming to help Wolfric the Wild was coming closer and closer.  Now, it was a half a mile away.  Two of the knights went out of the army, and ran towards Wolfric's armies.  They had their lances poked out and their shields in from of them.  As the army got closer, the bowmen and crossbowmen shot their arrows. 

Z:  Lisa was washing some dishes by the time Jay had gotten upstairs.  Jay got a high step stool, and stood on it to watch Lisa wash the dishes. 

T:  Monkeys eat some pineapple, and some yogurt...applesauce.

EPISODE 4: "...A HORSE WITH NO NAME"

D:  Ethelred exulted as he watched the beast ascend from its underground prison.  "Dragon!" he called out. "Come!  Be saddled!  I will ride on your back to victory!"

B:  Mi-Ima was very afraid at the sound of that.  The horse was, too, which made it jump up in the air nearly five feet, and it started to run.  Mi-Ima pushed her feet back, which made it run even faster.  "What are you doing?" the second-in-command cried.  "Riding away!  I might be back sometime."  She rode towards the shore, got on a boat, and started sailing towards France.

P:  The army that was coming to help Wolfric the Wild had: 17 infantry; 18 crossbowmen; 14 bowmen; 10 catapults loaded with rocks, disease, and Greek fire; and 400 knights. 

Z:  Wolfric the Wild, when he was already in the army, got behind the second-in-command.

T:  Horse walks here.  Horse walks on its feet.  It steps on shoes and jackets.  Monkeys said that.

EPISODE 3: SIMIAN SLAPSTICK

D:  Ethelred realized he couldn't just sit and feel sorry for himself.  If the castle was to be saved, he must take action.  "Knights!" cried he "Loose the Dragon!"

B:  Wolfric's army had 2,000 bowmen, 6,000 cross-bowmen, 800 knights, 100 catapults loaded with rocks and Greek fire, and 10,000 infantry.  But since Mi-Ima was going to help, there were going to be 801 knights.  And besides that, there were 10 dragons!  Just then, Wolfric's second-in-command came riding on a black horse--a huge, big, strong, black horse--leaping up into the air nearly six feet as it galloped towards the armies.  "Shoot each catapult this minute!" the second-in-command yelled.

P:  Two miles away, an army was coming closer to the castle that Wolfric the Wild's armies were at.  It was going to help. 

Z:  Wolfric the Wild was on his horse.  He had on his armor.  He was only one mile away from the castle which Ethelred the Unready was at.  The horse was galloping towards the army.  Wolfric the Wild had 69 more cross-bowmen with him.  He had 42 more knights with him. 

T:  Monkeys danced, fall down on their hats.

EPISODE 2: MEN, MAIDENS, & MONKEYS

D:  Ethelred the Unready was quaking in his boots.  He wasn't ready for this.  "Why is everybody always pickin' on me?"

B:  Mi-Ima, which was the name of the knight who was in the castle a little ways off, got off her horse and put on her armor.  Then she got back on, and rode out towards Wolfric's armies.  She had decided to help him. 

P:  A mile away from the armies, there was a fort.  Inside of it, two horses were in the stalls.

Z:  In a nice house, a girl named Jay was walking up some stairs.  A woman named Lisa was the woman who takes care of her. 

T:  Monkeys made a face.
