gargoyles,’ Edwina said. ‘They must have heard the wall come crashing down, and they’re heading straight for us!’
    â€˜You have your potion ready, then, little lady?’
    â€˜It’s in my hand.’
    â€˜Keeper of the Four Stones!’ Gorum screamed out. ‘You’re going to be turned to stone, just like the rest of the townspeople!’
    â€˜Come and get me, Gorum, and bring the rest of your scummy friends with you. I’ve waited a long time for us to meet again.’
    Gorum and the other Gargoyles of Darkness began to attack the giant, flying in close with their sharp, bat-like wings and arrowhead tails. Edwina leaned out as far as she could and waved the dust of the Sleeping Potion into the night air, but as she leaned back, a little bit of the dust went onto the giant by mistake.
    â€˜Woops,’ said Edwina.
    The Keeper of the Four Stones yawned. ‘I feel so sleepy, I need to sit down before I fall down.’
    The giant gently sat himself down for a short nap.
    Edwina started climbing down the Keeper of the Four Stones’ arm when she heard a loud humming sound coming from the sky. She looked up and saw a dark shadow coming closer. She started to tremble as Gorum and the Gargoyles of Darkness just missed hitting her by inches as they fell one by one to the ground.
    Edwina kept climbing down until she reached the ground and ran as fast as her legs would go, over to where Gorum was sleeping.
    The Magic Sleeping Potion had worked. But suddenly, Gorum began to make a loud puffing noise. Edwina felt a cold shiver come over her as she looked down at the bat-like creature with his mouth wide open. What a horrible sight! He was blowing large, gooey bubbles – he was actually ssssnoring.
    Edwina quickly removed the skeleton key and chain from around Gorum’s neck and placed it safely inside the hidden pocket of her cloak. She pulled the Magic Ring off his claw-like hand and placed the ring on her finger. Suddenly, a large porthole appeared and one by one, the gargoyles began to disappear back through the porthole to the Planet Darktess.
    Edwina then went back into the cathedral to find Thirty-four.
    The townspeople had all gathered out the front of the cathedral, all talking among themselves, wondering why the emergency bell was rung. Edwina and Thirty-four walked round the corner of the cathedral, pretending that nothing had happened, and stood next to Ms Esmeralda, the local newspaper reporter.
    Mayor Lutwych of Rainbow City stood up and addressed the people: ‘Someone has played a prank on us tonight,’ Mayor Lutwych said, ‘and if I find out who rang that bell, they will be in big trouble.’
    Everyone agreed to go home as it was getting very late. Edwina smiled at Thirty-four and said, ‘They don’t even know what happened here tonight. I guess it’s better that way.’ Edwina giggled. ‘Wait till tomorrow, Thirty-four, when they see the side of the cathedral wall missing. I wonder what they will make of that? And no Mrs Whatmore.’
    â€˜Edwina, Edwina.’ It was Aunt Ada coming towards her. ‘Whatever happened down here at the cathedral? We have all been so worried. Gabriella told us the gargoyles had taken you. We were all trapped inside Stone Castle by a spell from the gargoyles, so we couldn’t escape. We heard the town bell ringing and when it stopped, the spell was broken from around the castle.’
    Edwina quickly told Aunt Ada the whole story when suddenly, the ground began to shake. They both looked up, and there standing before them was the four-legged giant, who was yawning.
    â€˜You saved the town and everyone in it, Keeper of the Four Stones,’ Edwina said, ‘and defeated your old enemy, Gorum.’ Edwina pulled out the skeleton key from her hidden pocket inside her cloak and held the key up for the giant to see.
    â€˜You are a hero, Keeper of the Four Stones. Gorum and his
