"I... change my... I didn't... him in the... place. You... the one... got the... to bring... here."
"Now you... here Princess, I... you to... him and... that's that."
"No! I... I want... to do with..."
It was about this point that Taylor pulled his head out. It was frustrating missing so much. After all, if you're going to eavesdrop on someone, you want to hear what they're saying!

Isaac, Zac and Fred were back on their journey to find Taylor. After some walking, they came across a stream. At the stream they saw a man fishing.
"Have you seen our brother by any chance?" asked Isaac.
"Well, who's your brother?" asked the fisherman.
"Taylor Hanson."
"That's not much to go on."
"He was kidnapped!" Zac said.
"Hmm, who by?"
"I don't know."
"Then I can't help you."
"It was a griffin," Fred spoke up.
Isaac and Zac groaned.
"Ahh, then I can help you," said the fisherman. "There's only one griffin 'round these 'ere parts. And he lives in a castle on the mountain yonder. It's a mighty climb, though."
"Thanks," Fred smiled.
Once out of earshot, Isaac and Zac gave Fred fierce looks.
"There's no such thing as griffins!"
"Then who lives in the castle?" Fred asked, pointing.
They looked. Sure enough, there was a majestic castle atop a mountain. Isaac gave a low whistle and he and Zac looked at each other.
"Guess we'd better get started," Zac said.
And so the three brothers headed towards the mountain.
