The Dragon's Lair
by Arty

Nurse Fridaygale held the small oil lamp as high as she
could, as she threaded her way between the beds and
makeshift sleeping pads scattered throughout the ward.
Stopping to stroke the brow of a troubled sleeper she
gentled him back into a dreamfree sleep. As she passed those
patients who were awake they drew strength from her passing
and their wounds seemed to hurt less.

'The Dragon has been worse this time.' She thought.

Usually the Dragon would only scorch the odd passerby, but
recently he had been restless. No one knew the reason, but
it had all got much, much worse when two Knights had
appeared from the West promising to slay the Troublesome
Dragon. Sir Frank of Downey and Sir Nick of Scipio where
their names.

At first it had all seemed to be going the two Knights' way.
But the Dragon was an old and wily Dragon and had merely
been toying with the Knights. Nurse Fridaygale had been
shocked at the terrible (though not life-threatening)
injuries that the two Knights had sustained.

Nurse Fridaygale came to a decision, first though she
checked on the sleeping forms of the two Knights. Sir Frank
seemed restless and it took more than a gentle stroking of
his forehead before he was able to fall into a deep and
restful slumber. Carefully cleaning her hands Nurse
Fridaygale walked to her small room and retrieved a small
rolled parchment from beneath her pillow, unrolling it she
began to read.

.....

Halfway up the hill above the town, flames and smoke issued
from the Dragon's Lair. In the early morning light the
figure of Nurse Fridaygale could be seen walking with great
trepidation up to the entrance to the Dragon's Lair.

Carefully undressing Nurse Fridaygale laid her clothes upon
a convenient rock. Extracting a tall brown bottle from her
robe, she thanked the lord (and the author) for the
invention of screw-off caps (stop making your own jokes up
at the back there!).

Peering into lair she noticed that the flames and the smoke
had died down.

Slowly entering the cave she spoke. "If you wanted a beer
all you had to do was ask!"
