Shrek: A Dragon's Tale

Chapter 8: Secrets Revealed

It was still going to take a long time to get to Duloc. Shrek crawled up to the top of a tall tree to make it fall over a small lake so that Fiona won't have to go through the water. Shrek then gets up as Seth was just about to cross the tree, and the tree swings back into it's upright position, sending Seth flying off, crashing into the ground a few hundred feet away. Elsa sighed to herself, while Seth shook his body to regain his balance and get the dirt off him.

Later, Shrek was swatting away and a bunch of flies and mosquitoes that were flying around him, Elsa, and Seth. Fiona grabs a nearby spiderweb that was on a tree branch and she runs through the field, swinging it around to catch the bugs like a large net, Shrek and the others watching on. Fiona then handed it to Shrek, who begins eating like it's cotton candy. As he walks off, the Princess licked her fingers, Seth and Elsa taking note of this.

"What the heck?" asked Seth.

"Fiona is unlike any other princess I've ever met," said Elsa.

Shrek then caught a toad, blowing it up like a balloon and presenting it to Fiona. Fiona then caught a snake that was about to bite her, now blowing it up, and she fashioned it into a balloon animal and presented it to Shrek, before they playfully shoved each other as they ran along.

Seth looked at Elsa, and asked, "You think that they maybe made for each other?"

"Yeah," said Elsa, watching them, "I feel they're perfect now that they've gotten to know each other better."

Eventually, the whole group arrived at an old windmill that wasn't too far from Duloc. They could see the towering structure of Farquaad's castle in the distance, standing like a beacon on the horizon.

"There it is Princess," said Shrek, "Your future awaits you."

"That's castle Duloc?" asked Fiona.

"You know, Shrek thinks Farrquad is compensating for something, which I think means he has a really–" Shrek cuts off Seth by stepping on his tail. "YEOW! Damn, that smarts!" The humanoid dragon groaned in pain.

"Yeah, so, um, I think we should.... get a move on," said Shrek.

"Um, Shrek," said Fiona, "I... I'm getting worried about Seth."

"What do you mean? I'm fine," said Seth.

"Yeah, well... that's what they all say, and the next thing you're on your back."

Seth looked at her confused.

"Dead."

"She's right," said Shrek, "You look awful. You should rest."

"I'll make you some tea," said Fiona.

"Hey, if you wanna spend some more time together just say so," said Seth, "I'll get some fire wood."

Seth then took off, flying into the woods.

"Um, who's hungry?" asked Shrek, "I'll go find us some dinner."

"I'll go help get fire wood," said Fiona. The two went their separate ways, leaving Elsa alone.

"I hope they realize what they feel," said Elsa.

A little later, Shrek and Fiona got some food and firewood, the ogre cooking weedrat rotisserie-style, while Seth and Elsa were watching the area in case somebody got the wrong idea and had decided to attack.

"Man, this may have been one crazy adventure," said Seth, "After this, I'm gonna return to the Hydra's Keep."

"Why?" asked Elsa.

"Well, it's like this," said Seth, and he explained that he wooed the Hydra, and she fell in love with him. He was willing to get to know the three headed dragon better before going into a full on relationship.
