But I've heard of the Metal Monarch.

He is also called the Nome King, you know, and he has made trouble for a good many people--mortals and fairies--in his time," said Polychrome.
"Do you fear him, then ?" asked the Princess, anxiously.
"No one can harm a Daughter of the Rainbow," said Polychrome proudly.
"I'm a sky fairy." "Then," said Betsy, quickly, "you will be able to tell us the way to Ruggedo's cavern." "No," returned Polychrome, shaking her head, "that is one thing I cannot do.

But I will gladly go with you and help you search for the place." This promise delighted all the wanderers and after the Shaggy Man had found the path again they began moving along it in a more happy mood.
The Rainbow's Daughter danced lightly over the rocky trail, no longer sad, but with her beautiful features wreathed in smiles.

Shaggy came next, walking steadily and now and then supporting the Rose Princess, who followed him.

Betsy and Hank brought up the rear, and if she tired with walking the girl got upon Hank's back and let the stout little donkey carry her for a while.
At nightfall they came to some trees that grew beside a tiny brook and here they made camp and rested until morning.
