Talec and Jack headed south towards Carrottus Castle. They were being watched…

Talec felt something behind him. Not on him, just a sense of something close.

Talec spun round and shouted ‘Jack, duck!’ as a large mechanical device swung its massive claw at them. Jack ducked and missed the blow of the claw. However Talec wasn’t ready to move and got whacked by the claw. It struck him and made him fly backwards.

‘Dammit!’ he said out loud as he drew out a blaster.

‘Talec, are you alright?’

‘Yes, Jack, just run and head south towards the castle. Can you see it?’

‘Yes, I think that’s a…’

‘JUST GO, JACK, BEFORE THIS KILLS YOU?’

‘What is it?’

‘Just GO!’

Jack didn’t ask anything else. He ran as fast as he could south. He ran all the way to the castle on his own. Talec wasn’t there when he arrived.



Jack got to the front gate of the Castle and was approached by two familiar guards, well not to Jack anyway.

‘Excuse me!’ one guard said, ‘members of the public cannot just come into the castle whenever they please.’

‘I am sorry,’ Jack said.

‘State your business!’ the other guard said.

‘I am here about a warp generator…’

The guards looked at each other and looked back, ‘And that means what to us?’

‘If only Talec was here…’ Jack said out loud.

‘Talec, did you say Talec?’

‘Erm yes, why?’

‘If this involves Talec then you must see the Queen about your business. You can go inside my friend!’

As Jack went in he thought, Why did he call me my friend? Why is Talec so popular to them? What has he done that is so good?

Oh of course! The guards forgot to tell him that he saved the world. Not exactly major is it?
