Summary

The story of Erec and Enide from Arthurian Legend is a good illustration of why you should try to work out your problems as a couple with empathy, understanding, and communication...and not through a deadly quest filled with pointless, brutal combat.

The creatures are the Elephant Men, the strange visitors you get when you're drinking whiskey with friends down by the river.
