Geography of Xanth


Grundy goes on a mission to prove himself. His mission is to rescue Stanley Steamer, the baby Gap Dragon and Princess Ivy's pet. He goes to Good Magician Humfrey and asks him how can he rescue Stanley Steamer. Good Magician Humfrey says he will have to serve his year's service. Grundy instead tells Humfrey how to become older again. Satisfied, Humfrey tells Grundy to ride Ivy's monster under the bed, Snortimer to the Ivory Castle.
