*an hour later, in the castle throne room*
*sits on his
throne* It's been too long now. They should have gotten the
scrolls by now.
Relax will
ya? I'm sure they're fine.
*enters,
dragging Crys behind her* Where is the clinic?
Oh my...
somebody get some help for him!
*looks at
Crys* Punch to the face?
Troll.
Ouch. That
had to hurt.
No kidding.
*gets out
his deck of cards* You see, these come in handy for something.
Please not
that card again.
Cards? Hell
man this is no time for a game.
Come now.
Watch closely. *takes out a card titled "Punch Out!!"*
*looks at
the card* Oh brother. As though playing Tetris for these cards
weren't bad enough.
Still
experimental. But if it works, Crys will regain composure. *holds
the card to Crys' forehead, which disappears into a light mist,
penetrating Crys' skin*
*wakes up*
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! *jumps up and starts running
around, then runs to the nearby bathroom*
*a loud dunking sound is heard followed by many flushes*
... it's
just like medicine... too many side effects.
Told you it
was experimental.
*comes out
of the bathroom, toilet paper on his foot* That stuff burns you
moron!
It's either
that or be in a coma for the rest of your life... Troll punches
are hard.
When did I
get punched by a troll?
You pushed
me out of the way to stop the troll from hitting me. I owe you my
life Crys.
*shrugs*
You owe me nothing... because I don't remember a thing.
Another
side effect of the card, Zak?
No, I
believe that's the side effect of the punch. He probably won't
remember why he was in the dungeon.
Speaking of
why... where are the other two?
Well...
*enters with
the scrolls* It wasn't easy but we got them!
We? If I
remember correctly I held off the Sewer Rats while YOU grabbed
the scrolls.
Hey, your
magic can hold them off better than my spear, and I can jump long
distances. It was quicker this way.
No matter.
Jaymi, can you read them?
*takes the
scrolls* I can try.
