Many
years later, the aged King Edward sent his favorite knight, Sir
Graham on a quest to retrieve the Three Treasures of Daventry, and
on his quest he came upon a small gingerbread house. This was the house
of Dahlia the witch. While she was out flying on her broom, he searched
her house for the chest, but found nothing but a piece of cheese and a
note on her nightstand. Apparently, the witch had hidden the chest somewhere
safer. As he searched her house, the witch came back home. Fortunately
she did not see him, as he was standing in the bedroom at the time. As
she walked over to her fireplace to check on her cauldron of unknown contents,
Sir Graham decided to go for it and sneaked up behind her and pushed her
right into the cauldron, where she melted and disappeared. And that was
the end of one of the first characters to trouble the land of Daventry.
A little later, Sir Graham found the Chest of Gold to be in the possession of a giant, living in the Land of the Clouds, above Daventry. Apparently the witch wouldn't have had any problems flying there on her broom with the chest and leaving it there, expecting no one else to be able to find it. It is not known however how the giant came into the possession of it. Either he was in alliance with the witch and was entrusted to guard it for her, or he might just have found the chest where she hid it and taken it with him. Also, he could have stolen it from her, but it seems unlikely that he would have been any match against Dahlia's magic.
Of the three
people to steal a magical treasure from King Edward, the witch Dahlia was
the only one that King Graham actually managed to defeat.
