Chapter 1: Mr. Mysterious Mr. Mysterious "I did it!" Clara exclaimed as she pounded the last stake into the ground with her mallet. "My tent is finally all set up!" Prince Lucas groaned. "Stop bragging," he complained. Poor Lucas had been struggling with his tent. He couldn't attach the canvas to the top of the center pole. It was too high. Clara laughed and shook her head. Then she snapped her fingers, and Ruskin sat up. The scarlet dragon grabbed the prince's canvas in his teeth, flew it to the top of the pole, and secured it easily. Lucas sighed and said, "Why didn't I think of that?" "Perhaps you like a challenge," Clara suggested. The prince frowned. "Not that kind of challenge. Besides, I thought camping was supposed to be fun." Clara smirked. "I don't know... I'm having a great time watching the prince of Wrenly battle the dreaded tent monster." "Ha-ha." Lucas gave a fake laugh. "Would you lend me a hand already?" Clara helped the prince tighten the ropes and pound his stakes into the ground. They set up cots and chairs inside their tents. "Now we can hike to Goblin Falls!" Lucas said triumphantly. Lucas and Clara had never been to Goblin Falls before.
