Chapter 6

We arrive at the Mothers’ gate. It’s empty.

B: Where is everyone ?

I get off Moon.

Ja: Armory’s untouched. If they fled, they went in a Hurry.

K: Guys.

I look at Kit. She points her finger at the Wall next to us. Something is written in blood.

Ka: They’d never abandon their Post.

J: Guys.

K: Look at this.

She steps away from the wall and the others look at it.

G: We stand at the threshold …

We both look at him and he stops.

J: Keep going.

G: We peer into the Void. We bear witness  to his Glory. The Eternal One, the healer of Worlds.

The ground starts shaking.

G: As he stirs from his Deathless Slumber deep below the Surface. The Harbinger of the Wyrm will come.

The ground starts shaking progressively worse. The Horses start to Panic, and I wrap my Arms around Kit. When the shaking stops. I calm Moon and we keep riding. Through the Fog and over the Grass fields. About an hour later we see Dove walking.

K: Unbelievable.

Ja: You gotta admire her Persistence.

K: No she’s gonna get herself killed.

J: HEY ! 

We ride to her and stop.

K: What did I say ?

D: You’re not the Boss of me Princess. Not out here.

B: I like her. I think we should keep her.

K: Nobody asked you, Boorman !

D: Shut up, Boorman !

Ka: Enough. We don’t have time for your Bickering. Aryk doesn’t have Time. I don’t Care if you like each other. We’re all in this together now. And out here, in the World beyond. If you’re not Vigilant at each moment. I swear you will not survive.

Just as he finished speaking, he gets shot by an Arrow and falls of his Horse. Men on Horses with Skull Masks come riding towards us.

B: Bone Reavers ! RIDE !

Kit helps Dove on her Horse.

J: Let’s Go Moon.

Moon Rides as fast as he can behind Kit. They Start shooting arrows at us. If Kit and dove wouldn’t have leaned back they would have been shot. We Ride directly to a Cliff.

Ja: BOORMAN !

J: WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?

He is shouting something and His horse jumps off the Cliff into the Water and our Horses do the same. As soon as we land I look at Kit.

J: Are you Ok ?

She nods. Moon nudges my Side. I stroke his fur.

J: I’m fine.

K:That was Incredible. How’d you get him to … I’ve never seen Horses do that. What does Hsu-Gala mean ?

B: It’s an Ancient Angorian word. It means stop.

We all look at him.

J: I beg your pardon ?

He nods. From now on we walk. I walk next to Boorman while Moon walks in front of us.

B: Uh, Jane ? Your Horse ?

J: What’s with him ? 

B: He’s walking away.

J: He’s not.

B: You let him walk free ? 

J: Yes.

B: And he comes back ?

I nod my head.

B: I don’t believe you.

J: MOON HERE.

Moon comes to me and walks next to me.

B: Wow.

J: I’ve had him since he was a Foal. He chose me and I raised him.

Boorman nods.

K: I wanted to say uh, I’m Sorry … about the way I behaved. It was … I was very Childish and …

G: No, it's ok. I, I can understand not wantin’ to Marry someone that you barely know. I wasn’t happy about it either.

K: You weren’t ?

G: I mean you're a very pretty person. But uh I just think you should be in love with someone, before you commit to spending the rest of your life with them, right ?

Boorman looks at me and I just shake my head.

K: What about our responsibility to unite the realm ?

G: One day you and I are gonna be in charge.  And when that day comes, we don’t have to do things the way our Parents did. I’ll find someone I love and you have Jane. I mean I get why she hates me.

I sigh. 

J: Hated you. You're kinda useful with your understanding of different languages and stuff. Doesn’t mean we’re friends.

We arrive at a Broken and destroyed Village. I bind Moon next to Eclipse and look at Boorman.

K: Are you sure this is the same Village my Mother was talking about ?

B: It’s the only Village in the Valley.

Ja: Where did everybody go ?

I look around and go to stand next to Kit.

?: Oh Daikinis. Terrific. Just what I need.

I look at the Nelwyn man.

Ja: What happened here ?

?: Plenty. And if you’re not Careful it will Happen to you too.

K: We’re looking for a Sorcerer, Willow.

?: Congratulations. You found him.

When I look at him he doesn’t look like a Sorcerer.

B: You’re Willow ?

?: Yep that's me. Willow. But I’m out of the Sorcery Business now. I’ve retired. So, jog on.

Kit's getting frustrated. I take her hand.

K: My name is Kit Tanthalos. My Mother is Sorsha. She send me here to come find you. She told me that once long ago you stood together against the Forces of Evil and Defeated Them. The world needs you again. It needs your Magic.

Another Voice speaks up.

?: It’s Okay. She is who she Claims to be.

?: How do you know ?

?: I read her Mind. 

Another man who definitely looks like a sorcerer come out of a Hut.

W: Kidding. Had you though didn’t ? I didn’t read your mind. It's just you remind me of your mother.

K: My Brother Aryk was taken by …

W: The Gales.

J: The what ?

W: Your Brother's Alive. A prisoner of the Withered Crone. Who dwells in the Immemorial City, that lies beyond the Shattered Sea. The four who came to Tir Asleen are her Servants.

B: I’m Sorry did you say Beyond the Shattered Sea ?

Willow nods.

B: Okay.

J: What ?

Kit definitely can't do that, that is way too dangerous.

B: I’ve Travelled all across the world and met some real Magical Marvin’s. But I never met anyone who crossed the Shattered sea. That’s where all the Maps end.

W: And that's where we must go. Beyond the edge of our World into the unknown. It’s the only way to … To …

He stops Speaking and walks to Dove. We look at her. He lifts up one of her sleeves and lays his hand on it and starts chanting something. When he lifts his hand a Mark appears.

W: You shouldn't be here but it’s so good to see you, Elora.

K: Did he just say … 

I nod.

D: No, you’ve made a mistake. That’s not… I’m not … I’m Nobody.

W: You are Elora Danan, Last blood of Kymeria, future Empress, High Priestess, Semprum Sorceress of the Nine Realms, and the world’s last, best hope against the Evil coming to destroy us all.

E: What ?

Chapter 15

The next thing I know is that the Gales chase us.

J: CAN’T  WE HAVE ONE MOMENT OF PEACE ?! ONE !?

Kit, Jade and I are again being chased by the Monster with the cage on its head. We try to Hide in an Alley but when dust falls on us we see that he is standing on the wall. We all scream and run. We run to the Others and Hide behind a wall.

K: How long can they keep us up for ?

W: The Crone won’t let them rest till they have Elora and have killed us.

G: If only they took the Time to get to know us. Right ?

I exhale.

Ja: Where to now Captain ?

G: We can’t outrun them, so where can we go ?

W: Into the Wildwood.

J: Yeah, great ! Another place that is said to be cursed.

I smile sarcastically.

G: She’s right, what about the you know, perils of the Wildwood ?

E: What Perils ?

W: People say there’s something in the Air, the Trees, the water, that makes you …

G: Never wanna leave.

J: Loose your will to do anything.

K: Trust me. We are not spending any more time in there than we need to.

E: Yeah, no way.

W: If anybody has any better Ideas, I’m sure we’d love to hear them.

The cage Monster lands in front of us.

W: RUN !

I get up and pull Kit with me. We run into the Woods. We have to chop little branches.

B: The Key is Vigilance. Stay sharp. The wildwood is seductive. It lures you in with its sights and sounds. The next thing you know you’re officiating Weddings and Dog-sitting for casual acquaintances. 

K: Well, that’s not gonna Happen.

G: Personally, I’m still worried about the Perils.

We keep on walking. My hand gripping Kits and not letting go. We stop walking when we see tiny lights and Butterflies swirling around the Trees. It’s beautiful. Kit starts pulling me with her.

Ja: The Bone Reavers that Killed my Family fled into the Wildwood. Maybe they’re still here. Somewhere.

We make a pause. I sit down against a Tree Kit sitting next to me. I play with her Hands while Kit and Jade talk.

B: Listen Guys.

I look up

B: I know you all have your doubts about my integrity, motives, whatever. But I’m begging you to Trust me, when I tell you that no matter what happens next, I have a plan and everything will work out if you all just Remain …

Before Boorman can finish his sentence there is a Blade on my Neck.

B: Calm.

I Stare at him.

J: You could’ve just said Warning Danger stay Calm but nooooo.

B: Do you always have to be Sarcastic.

J: Yes.

The Bone Reavers  take us to their Camp. I see skulls as decorations.

J: Ah, just Lovely.

As we’re let go, I immediately go to Kit. She takes my Hand.

K: I’m fine.

J: Good.

?: Boorman.

B: Lori.

I look at him.

J: Lori ?

B: Toth’s first name is Lori but for some reason he’s insecure about it. Yeah Own it Lori. You know, make it yours.

He punches Boorman right on the Nose.

J: Thank you I would’ve done it If you hadn’t.

Toth points at me.

T: I like her.

?: Now, Now boys. Play Nice.

I look at a Woman. She looks interesting.

?: You don’t look dead.

B: Funny Story. Well not Ha-Ha funny. More like a “Ain’t life funny” kind of funny.

She walks down the Steps towards us.

?: You can Imagine my Surprise when Toth came back and said he’d run down a Tir Asleen cut-out. Five kids and a beanpole that Looked exactly like Thraxus Boorman.

I look at him.

J: What did you Idiot do ?

He ignores me.

B: You are entitled to an Explanation.

?: No one gets out of Skellin alive. Ever.

J: Sorry did you say Skellin ?

E: Skellin ?

Ja: Dread mines of skellin. In the Mountains.

J: Run by the Trolls.

B: What can I say ? Guess that makes me the Somebody who did.

?: I’m going to enjoy this. 

B: Well, if you’re thinking what I’m thinking you’re thinking so am I.

J: Just shut up for Once.

?: I doubt that very much.

She looks at Toth. 

?: Take him to my Tent and make sure he’s well tied up.

A man grabs him and pulls him there.

B: I don’t know. See, that Kind of sounds like we’re on the same Page.

I pull a disgusted face.

T: And the others ? Do you want em ‘ or should we just Fire up the old skull-boiling cauldron.

In an instant I push Kit behind me. But she steps in front of the Woman.

K: I’m Kit Tanthalos of Tir Asleen. I’m Queen Sorsha’s daughter.

J: My Love, what are you doing ?!

I lay my Hand on her Arm.

?: Scorpia. Well, actually, it’s her Sublime Eminence Mistress Magnificus Venoma Scorpia. But Scorpia’s fine.

J: Very nice to meet ya.

I pull Kit closer to me. Scorpia looks at me.

S: And you are ?

J: Me ?

She nods.

J: Jane Chander.

K: My Brother was abducted from our Castle.

S: Wasn’t us. Wasn’t, was it ?

She looks at Toth.

T: Mm- mmm.

J: It was servants of the Withered Crone.

K: We’re going beyond the shattered Sea.

The People laugh.

K: To rescue him. If you could find it in your Hearts to let us go. I’m sure my mother would repay the Favour.

J: And you can keep Boorman. He’s, like, The worst.

Ja: You're wasting your Breath. They don’t have a whit of Mercy about them, and they’re too stupid to realise what you’re offering them.

S: Maybe we won’t fire up the ol’ skull pot just yet. Lock the Nelwyn and the Pretty fella down the Borough. Toss these two in the Rattler.

She nods at Kit and Elora. They grab all four of them. Toth holds me and Jade. I start to struggle.

J: Hey let me go. No. Kit.

She looks at me.

S: We’ll keep those two here. They’ll make good sport.

K: Wait, what'll you do to her ?

Panicking, she looks at me and also starts to struggle.

K: Jane. 

And she disappears from my view.

J: Don’t harm her. Please.

I look at Scorpia. She steps towards me.

S: Why wouldn't I ?

J: She’s pregnant. You can Kill Boorman. I don't care. Just leave her.

She looks at me and nods. Me and Jade get bound up outside.

J: You ok ?

Ja: Yes.

J: Good.

Ja: Really you would let her Kill Boorman ? Your Brother.

J: I would kill myself, if that meant keeping Kit safe.

Ja: What did you see in that Castle ?

I look down.

J: I uh … 

Ja: Jane ?

J: We fought. Again, and I said that I couldn’t keep going like that. Then I just walked off. Uh … Then I heard her scream my name. I of course started running there and … there was a Door. Once I opened it she just laid there. Not breathing, not anything. She-She gave birth to the Baby. Alone. They  were both …

Tears run down my face.

Ja: That’s why you were Crying so much.

J:Boorman was carrying me cause I tried jumping out a Window.

Jade keeps quiet. 

Ja. What ?!

Suddenly there is an explosion. We see Kit and Elora. Bone Reavers stand around them.

E: We don’t wanna hurt anybody, and nobody wants to get Hurt.

K: Oh, I will hurt you, if I have to.

E: Hurt you bad.

K: All we want are Jane and Jade. Where are they ?

J: We’re here.

She looks at us and walks to us. 

J: I’m fine.

K: Cut them loose.

T: Afraid we can’t do that. Not without the Mistress's say-so.

E: I will melt your face off Lori !

T: We have a sayin’ for People who make Empty threats. They make nice Hats.

They grab both of them.

J: Hey let them go !

Scorpia walks to kit sarcastically clapping.

S: I applaud your Spirit Princess, but you really must loosen up, have some fun.

Jade frees herself from her Binds Grabs a Knife and holds it against Scorpia’s Throat.

Ja: I’m lots of fun and I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.

S: Oh gorgeous, I’m all yours.

And in the Next second Jade lays on her back and Scorpia lands a good Punch in her face. But jade fights back. It ends when Scorpia has Jade on her knees, her head tilted forward, and her Hair pulled up. Scorpia freezes. Then gets off her. Stunned, I look at her.

S: Take her to my Tent.

They’re in it for a few Minutes. When they come out Scorpia commands to make us free. I instantly walk to Kit and check her.

J: Are you ok ?

K: Yes, are you ?

I nod and she hugs me. I look at Jade.

J: What is going on ?

Chapter 19

We are eating and celebrating the Wedding. Everything is going nicely. I wander off with Kit. She swings our hands back and forth. I laugh.

J: I love you.

K: I love you too.

I face her. Suddenly she gets pulled away from me. It’s a Troll.

J: KIT !

They get pulled up by a Rope. I start running to the feast to Boorman. Who’s killing one of the Trolls.

J: They have her.

He looks at me. Tears streaming down my Face. He pulls me into his arms.

J: Why does this always happen ?

B: I don’t know but we’re gonna get her back.

J: Promise.

He holds out his Pinky. I hook it with mine.

J: Then let’s go.

We grab our weapons, change our clothes to something more Appropriate and start walking to Skellin.

When we arrive the sun is up again.

J: How do we get in there ?

B: One Person sneaking in there ? Maybe. Six of us ? Impossible. I’m begging you. Let me do this. I’ll get in get’em out meet you on the other side.

J: Like hell I won’t go in there.

Ja: You’re not going anywhere without us.We’re rescuing Willow.

S: And Kit.

E: And all the other People they took. Cut down any troll that may come our way.

G: She doesn’t mean undermining their confidence, do you ? 

J: No Baby face she doesn’t.

G: And a new nickname, how nice.

S: So when you fought your way out the last time and slaughtered all those Trolls. You went Right out the Front ?

B: Yeah about that … When I said Slaughtered. I didn’t actually mean Slaughtered. More like I slaughtered their Pizzazz.

S: Their what ?

The next thing I know I’m walking through a Shit drain.

J: Boorman, I hate you.

S: What are we walking through ?

B: It’s best not to get to specific.

G: Pretty sure it’s Troll Poop.

B: What’d I just say ? I’ve had ten years to think about exactly how I would get in and out of this Rank cesspool without anyone realizing I was ever here.

J: Then you got caught and never returned to your Sister.

B: Thought you didn’t hate me ?

J: Doesn’t mean I’m not angry.

He leans against a wooden wall and falls right through it.

B: Ow my coccyx.

J: Idiot. “Never notice i was even here”

B: Don’t mock me.

J: What else am I supposed to do ? Applaud for your Geniusness ?

Ja: I know you are frustrated, angry and concerned for Kit Jane But we have to keep going.

I sigh and walk after Boorman through Tunnels. As we come to a very small bridge very close to the deep end I inhale sharply. 

J: Have I ever told you about my Dying fear of heights ?

B: What else is there ? Thunders, heights.

J: Very small spaces, the tunnels are killing me and moths.

G: Moths ?

J: Yes, twinkle toes Moths.

G: Okay.

We keep walking. I press myself against the wall. Jade holds my Hand.

Ja: Remember who this is for.

J: Kit, My Kit.

Ja: Yes, your Wife. Good. Now, keep walking. 

I don’t listen to Graydon and Elora talking. We arrive and Fight of Trolls. We knock them out. The cauldrons start Bubbling like Crazy. 

G: Uh Guys ß

Ja: Should it be doing that ?

B: Uh no, that is definitely unusual.

I look at Elora and the Wand.

J: Uh your wand is glowing like Crazy.

S: Why is it doing that ?

Elora doesn’t look like she’s doing that on purpose.

S: Well make it stop.

E: How ?

She points her wand at the cauldron.

E: Stop shaking Avagdu ! 

It starts getting worse.

J: Ok how ‘bout we all calm down a little.

Ja: Yeah just Relax.

E: I am relaxed ! Okay ?

B: You don’t sound relaxed.

E: I’m telling you this has nothing to do with me. I don’t know what’s going on but I don’t have any … any, any,

G: No, No,no,no,no !

And she sneezes. The rumbling stops.

Ja: Gesundheit.

J: Better now ?

She nods. 

J: Ok let’s go.

We change into the uniforms.

J: These stink. But let’s do this. I want my Wife back. 

I watch as Scorpia nad Boorman kiss.

Ja: Scorpia they're coming, we need to go.

I put on the Helmet. We follow Boorman through tunnels. Elora stops.

G: Are you ok ?

I look back and see her leaning against a wall.

Ja: Is that you ?

J: Are you doing that ?

Ja: Elora ? Unclench. Seriously, you’re gonna kill us all.

G: When I concentrate on the next one sometimes I don’t sneeze at all.

E: I’m not gonna sneeze.

G: It’s nothing to be Ashamed of. I-I didn’t.

B: Come on. Hurry up. Follow me.

He stops at a crossing. 

B: Uh …

J: Are we close ?

B: Uh … Don’t worry, you’ll be with Kit in no Time.

E: You’re Lost.

B: No, I'm just getting my Bearings.

Jade grabs my Arm. Knowing that I wanna strangle him.

Ja: You’re too tall. Noone will believe you’re a Troll.

B: I sell it with my Performance. Unlike you four Not even remotely convincing.

J: I will take out my Axe and convince you of it’s performance.

Trolls come our way. We bow submissively.

?: This damn day. Got word of a spill on Triton level. I need a Krom unit supervisor down there to oversee the mop crew. Dipshit.

He points at Graydon.

G: Me ? Oh … N-No. Thank you though.

Chapter 20

He walks in front of Graydon.

?: What did you say ?

G: I mean I’d love to. But they’ve got me going up to, you know fire up the Troops. Cause I guess the Spirits have been low since they shortened our Breaks.

?: I gave you an order, supe.

G: Right of course. I was kidding. Lead the way Sir.

He follows the Troll and shortly looks back at us.

J: He's so happy. He’s still alive

B: He’ll be fine. He’s quick on his feet.

J: Like a baby cow.

We keep following Boorman. We take off the Uniforms. We walk over a small bridge, me behind Jade, her hand tightly in mine.

J: I’m doing this for Kit.

B: Is that your Mantra ?

J: It helps me stay calm.

Ja: Whatever you do, don't look down.

J: Didn’t plan on it.

E: Yeah yeah Totally. Except I’m one of those People you tell me not to look or think about something, then I…I have to look and think about it, Okay ?

J: Marvellous, absolutely fantastic. Keep going.

She looks down.

E: You were right. I shouldn't have looked

J: Keep going or I’ll push you down.

Ja: Jane.

We come to a set of Steps. 

B: There is a hole.

Boorman jumps over it then Elora. 

Ja: You next.

I nod.

B: I’ll catch you.

J: You Promise ?

B: Yes.

I jump and land in Boorman's arms. Then comes Jade but the board underneath her breaks. She’s holding on with one hand. I immediately lay down and grab 

Her arm. Me and Elora pull her Up. But the wand falls down.

Ja: Did we just lose Cherlindrea’s wand ?

E: Uh huh.

B: Yikes.

J: I just pulled you up and I wasn’t scared.

E: Willow is gonna Kill me.

B: Yeah he might actually kill you.

Ja: Not helpful, Boorman.

Jade stands up and helps m e off the Floor.

J: Maybe just don’t mention it straight away.

We keep walking. We arrive at a dark cave. 

Ja: What happened here ?

B: Fire.

J: Oh.

He stops walking. Looks at us and walks again.

Ja: Do you actually know where we’re going ?

E: Yeah cause this doesn’t feel right.

B: It is. We’re almost there.

J: Almost where ?

B: Wiggleheim’s Tomb.

I seething with anger.

B: Ok look before you three completely flip out, if I’d taken you to the Crow’s cages we would’ve ended up in one.

J: You’re gonna wish you were in one when I’m done with you.

I take my Axe to hand.

B: I know it doesn’t seem like it right now, but everything I’ve done has been for Kit and Willow. The only way we’re gonna ever find them, save them and get outta this place alive is if I’m wearing the Kymerian Cuirass.

J: YOU SELFISH BASTARD ! YOU’RE ONLY THINKING ABOUT YOURSELF ! YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOU !

He starts Running 

Ja: Jane don’t.

I run after Him with my Axe in my hand, up in the air ready to strike. Jade wraps her arms around me.

J: Let me kill him ! He doesn't care about us ! We don't need him !

Ja: Jane he is your brother.

J: No he isn't. 

I slip off my Bracelet and throw it in front of him.

He is just the person who found me. Aryk is my Brother. My Best friend. And we need to find him and for that I need Kit.

Jade takes my Weapons. I sit down. I don’t see the hurt look on his face.Elora sits down next to me and Jade tries to find a way out.

Ja: How do you get out of this place ?

E: Oh God. I’m spinnin out.

Ja: No, No.

E: Yeah. And it’s not the first time either. This panicky feeling happens whenever I get close to. I really thought I was Starting to figure it out.

J: What ?

E: Magic.

Ja; Yeah.

E: But it’s like the harder I try to control it, the more I just … I feel like it’s slipping away. And then I’m … I’m spinning. I don’t ..

Ja: No. It’s not you, Okay ?

E: Okay.

J: It’s this place.

E: Yeah. No. Definitely it's me.

Ja: This is your fault.

B: Uh untrue.

I look at Elora.

J: I’m so sorry.

E: Don’t be. You’re worried about Kit. And that is absolutely not wrong. I should've knows he lied.

J: It’s all he ever does.

B: Maybe let’s all agree that we’re somewhat culpable for something and maybe just try and concentrate on finding the secret door, Yeah? Which should be here somewhere.

J: No.

It starts rumbling again.

Ja: I think there’s another Tunnel back there that we didn’t try.

E: It’s worth a shot.

She pulls me off the floor. We start walking that way.

B: Wait just … please. Wait. I can do this.

J: No you can't, we're just wasting our Time here.

B: I can save everyone. I can fix it. I can fix it.

Ja: Fix what ?

B: Biggest mistake of my life. If I’d just …

?: Boorman.

Chapter 13

We’re Basically in the Middle of nowhere. Kit starts Walking next to me.

K: Jane ? Can we talk ?

J: Not in the mood.

I ignore her.

E: You Ok ?

W: Uh, just need to Rest. Then we resume your Training. You’ve still got a long way to go.

E: Maybe if I had the Wand …

Suddenly Graydon falls to the Ground.

E: Wait Graydon's Hurt !

Willow lifts his Collar and there is a Golden glowing spot.

J: Shit.

G: Bad Magic.

E: We have to get him to shelter ! Something !

B: Yeah ! And what do you Suggest, Huh ! We’re right in the Middle of…  I don’t even know where in the Middle of !

J: Moon.

Moon walks to Graydon and Kneels down. Me and Boorman help him up. I point my Finger at Graydon.

J: If you hurt him, I’ll kill you. Doesn’t matter that you’re Possessed.

He nods.

W: I know where we are.

He walks to a few Rocks and Looks beyond them. I walk there too. It's a Castle.

W: Nockmaar.

The Giant cloud is Swirling Right over it.

J: You’ve got to be Kidding me. Ok, let's go.

I walk forward. Moon right beside me. The others behind me. Willow falls to the Ground. Kit helps him up. 

W: We can’t go in. Don't you see ? This is what she wants.

E: We have to get Graydon inside or he'll Die.

B: And he’s not the only one.

J: There’s nothing around here for Leagues.

W: This fortress  was the Stronghold of the Most Brutal tyrant of her Age, Bavmorda.

B: Yeah. Or as Kit calls her Grandma.

I give him a Piercing side Glare. When we are inside we help Graydon off of Moon. Who then shakes the water out of his Mane. The others Chain Graydon to the Floor. Me and Jade start a fire and soon we’re all dry. Boorman closes the Chain around Graydon’s Wrists with a Hot Iron pickle.

B: Sorry about this Pal.

G: What do you think she used these for ?

B: Bavmorda knew how to Romp. Legendary Parties. Three four days in a Row. All kinds of weird shit.

G: How do I look ?

E: Like a Vermathrax at a vestal faire.

G: What ?

E: It was …

J: No it was a really good Joke.

B: Next time leave the levity to me.

Graydon coughs and vomits on the Floor.

J: Ah, Lovely.

G: What happened to Ballantine and Marrick is gonna happen to me.

Boorman gets up.

G: And you guys are gonna have to stop me before I …

Thunderclaps and I flinch. Elora gets up.

E: What … What was Ballentine gonna do to me ?

W: What Bavmorda started when you were a Baby.

G: The Ritual of the Thirteenth Night. Banishing your Soul to a Realm of perpetual suffering. Only the Combined strength of Willow and Raziel, the two most Powerful sorcerers of all time, was able to stop it. In the end using the Fibonacci Hex, if I’m not wrong ?

Willow hums.

J: Willow obliterated Bavmorda, rescued Elora Danan, You and Saved the World.

Everyone looks at me.

J: What  ? He’s not the only one that Reads.

B: Wow. And then What’d you do ?

W: We all went out and got pissed.

Graydon vomits again.

K: And that thing you did at the Slaughtered Lamb could you …

W: Blast his insides out ? A few moments of the Most excruciating pain ever endured. Probably followed by Death.

J: Maybe not that great of an Idea.

G: The way you’re talking. Sounds like you're starting to like me.

J: Don’t lose your head over it Twinkle Toes.

I smile at him.

K: This is all your fault.

She looks at Boorman.

B: Sorry, how’d you figure that ?

K: You send us on a wild goose chase to find some stupid artefact. And it doesn’t even exist. And now we’re trapped in some cursed castle and Aryk is still half a world away …

B: Right Aryk your brother. And meanwhile your ex-fiancé Grayoncé there, is being Ravaged by a 300-year old demon.

By the word Ex- Fiancé my grip on my Dagger Tightens.

G: Come on man. Don’t say Ravaged.

B: Sorry bud.

We are Waiting. I don't know for what but it’s Boring. I’m sharpening my Axe. While Jade cooks something. Boorman holds a plate in front of me.

J: Not hungry but thank you.

Graydon lays coughing on the Floor.

Ja: How long does he have ? Before it takes hold ?

W: Not long. Sometime in the small hours of the Night he’ll lose control.

I look at my Axe.

K: I mean we all know it has to be done. What was the last thing that Ballentine asked you to do ?

I look at Jade.

Ja: Kill him. He’s the Prince of Galladoorn Kit. We’d be at war

K: Hastur knew. Right ? We all knew that he never should’ve come. And If I have to decide between saving Aryk and waiting for Graydon to turn into some kinda Monster …

I sigh.

G: Kit’s right. I’ve had some experience with this before and I know I’m not strong enough to stop it. I don’t wanna hurt you guys. But I will.

E: If her Highness is in such a hurry to see it done she ought to do it herself.

K: Oh you don’t think I will ?

B: Uh I don’t. Killing someone who isn’t trying to kill you back, it’s not an easy thing to do.

I look down at my Axe. If it comes to it, I would do it.

E: Please you’re the greatest sorcerer alive. You obliterated Bavmorda.

J: There must be something you can do.

W: When she was young, your Age. Bavmorda was bright, curious, full of Promise. She was abducted by Members of a long-forgotten sect. The Order of the Wyrm. The crone radicalised her, converting her with their warped beliefs and gifting her with unnatural powers.

Ja: What kind of powers ?

W: Well for example she once changed the entire Galladoorn army into Pigs.

J: Hm, lovely.

W: Raziel and I, Eventually, changed them all back. It was chaos Pigs everywhere.

B: Sorry, All of them ?

W: Huh ?

B: You … You turned all of the Pigs back into people ?

W: Think so.

I nod. Boorman spits out the rest of his food.

J: So glad I didn’t eat.

W: The point is, the order of the Wyrm practised Taboo magic, against Nature. If a rite exists that can extract that Kind of evil. I think I know where we’d find it.

We all follow Willow into a room. He gets out a Book and lays it on a Table.

W: The Malatrium. Bound in the skin of a satyr.

K: Gross.
