The Paladin Prophecy Theme of Friendship

The Friends theme song taught us that friends will be there for you when the rain starts to pour. They've been there before. And you'll be there for them, too. Well, in The Paladin Prophecy, Will doesn't have to deal with any rain—but he does have to deal with giant walking statues, invisible demons, and crazy computer spy programs. His roommates are there for him during all this, proving that they're good friends. But what about Will? Will he return the favor when his friends need him? So far, he's the one attracting all the trouble, so we'll have to see how things play out in future installments.
