As the battle began, King Cedric realized that the monster was too strong for his army alone. He needed help. 'We must find a way to outsmart this monster!' he exclaimed. Just then, a young girl named Lily approached the king. 'I have an idea, Your Majesty,' said Lily. 'What if we use the monster's love for music to distract and defeat it?'

While he was distracted, the army bravely attacked, using their swords and shields to defeat the monster once and for all.
