Outside reading week 6, part B

In this section what happens is David defeats both the huge worm beast thing and the the enchantress in the castle of barbs.this leads me to the quote "All was quiet as they passed through the trees, for the things that dwelled within them heard david coming and were afraid. Even the crooked man, who had returned to his perch among the topmost branches, now looked at the boy in a new way, and tried hard to work out how he might best use this latest development to his advantage." What this means is that the creatures in the evil forests are afraid of David because he defeated the creatures his mind created when he came to this magic world. Even the crooked man is shocked at this because David is the only human to ever destroy what basically turns out to be his nightmares.
