So You Want to Be a Hero? Book Three of the Prankster Prince

Thony's adventure is not going at all the way he had anticipated.

First off, he's become a unicorn-maiden and is stuck wearing a dress, of all things.

Second of all, he's stuck in a war-zone where an Evil Wizard is assembling an army.

And finally, the fairy prince Puck, who had agreed to see Thony and Amanita safely to her faraway homeland has disappeared.

To make matters worse, it appears that the Evil Wizard is coming to the dusty little town he and Amanita are sheltering in. It's beginning to look like the only option that the two of them have is to deal with the situation themselves.

But surely just a couple of kids even accomplished pranksters like Thony and Amanita can't possibly accomplish much against an Evil Wizard and his army

no, that might take three kids.

Neither of them noticed the package of trouble hurtling towards them until Amanita was extracting herself from under a jumble of girl, longbow, and brilliantly colored arrows that seemed to have spilled everywhere.

"Ooops," said the new girl without a great deal of regret. She looked up at them with a certain wide-eyed innocence that Thony couldn't help but feel was a bit of a put-on.. Her leather jerkin was criss-crossed by a shoulder sheathe for a rather long sword, considering her size, that she was trying to untangle from her longbow and quiver.

"Don't you believe in looking where you're going?" Amanita demanded irritably.

"Usually," the girl replied. "Sometimes. Um... occasionally?"

The greasy-seeming horse-dealer from earlier in the morning was also bearing down on them, his face furious.

Amanita's gaze narrowed as she looked between the new girl and the new arrivals.

"What's the matter here?" she demanded.

"That girl just released all me stock," the greasy guy snarled. "She's goin' t'pay for this trouble!"

Amanita looked over her shoulder. "Did you really do that?"

The girl shuffled her feet and looked down to hide a self-satisfied smirk, Thony rather thought.

"Eh... heh-heh-heh-heh-heh," she chuckled uncomfortably, but didn't deny it.
