Lesson 16: Princesses who think all men are sexist just really aren't worth saving.

Then our young hero, Halendro the "Great", the annoying fashion girl, and the young mage ran into a fork in the road. So the young mage and Halendro the "Great" went to the right, and the other pair to the left. Soon enough our young hero and the annoying girl soon found two very strong looking, mighty warriors standing facing one another. Suddenly the one on the right stuck his tongue out at the other. The one to the left gasped in pain and then copied his opponent. His opponent gasped, and the pair fell to the ground, their tongues sticking out at each other, writhing in pain on the ground gasping and crying and screaming and moaning. And soon enough they both fell silent.
"I think we may have just experienced the most idiotic and nonsensical battle in the history of the world" muttered our young hero. The fashion girl just muttered something undesipherable about what the pair were wearing, and then the pair trudged over the two who had been "fighting".

And suddenly Scortin found himself wandering into quite a strange land. There were thirty geese, fighting thirty swans, while twenty two turtle doves sang while thirty-six calling bird were constantly calling and the thirty french hens were madly pecking at the partridges. While the thirty lords-a-leaping happened to be trying on all fourty-five of the brass rings, fourty-two ladies were dancing while twelve drummers drummed and twenty two pipers played in twelve different keys making it one and five sixths keys per piper, and fourty maids-a-milking were milking fourteen and one half gallons per pair of maids per day for six days a week, and then there was a bright flash and everything disappeared. And then Scortin woke up and shoke his head thinking of what a strange episode of a dream that certainly was. Especially since he was quite bad at math he seemed to mix up all the numbers and things.

By now of course our young hero soon found a quite tall tower
"Hark! A young maiden must lay within the top of this tower!" and with that he began eagerly climbing up the tower by getting a firm grip onto the bricks and pulled himself up. Soon enough he had gotten to the top of the tower, where, as in all fairy-tales. and the such, a very beautiful princess in a long blue flowing gown sat.
"Fair princess, I have come to save you from your humdrum life!" and with that she glared at him and immediatley responded in a rather angry tone.
"What do you men think you are anyhow? Who exactly are you trying to impress? All you machoist pigs, I mean, what about stuff like, women's rights? When are you going to let us girls have something enjoyable to do? When can we vote? Why do you sexist men think we are all weak and can not rescue ourselves? Humph!" he stared at her in surprise.
"Forget it!" he sneered at her. Then he turned, and climbed back down the window and out of the tower in an angry fit.
"What is with women these days? God.." he muttered as he climbed down it.
"Dang princesses, getting worse and worse..." and soon he came back to the bottom of the tower, where the annoyig fashion girl was standing before. Except that now she was no longer standing there. She was gone. She had vanished quite abruptly. Nervously he looked around, and ended up turning in a circle about seven times.
