Fred's Brother

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 8063

"Hey, worm." said Fred's brother. At age fourteen, Jon was already a practicing fire-based magician. His left had was glowing as if he held a candle in it.

"Stop whimpering and come with me. There's something going on in the kitchen."

Fred threw his pillow at Jon. "Shut up. What's going on?"

"A lot of banging and cursing. Wanna peek?"

"Sure." The castle held many hidden passages like all castles should. Naturally, Fred and Jon knew them all.

Fred walked down one of the main concourses with his brother. Being with Jon made the thunder and the lightning seem less scary.

Jon stopped by a suit of armor and tapped on what looked like a random stone. The armor swung away from the wall, revealing a four foot high tunnel. The two crawled in. Jon tapped another stone and the armor swung back into place.

The two crawled for ten turns. Jon turned off the light before they came to the grate over the kitchen.

Jon got to the grate first. Fred saw his eyes go wide. Fred looked also. Pinned to the main table by a spear through his leg was Migillicutty, the cook. He was sleeping, though, even with a speak through his leg! Blood had collected around the shaft but it was all dark and what was the word? Clotted.

"This isn't good." said Jon.

"We have to help him!" said Fred quietly.

"Don't be silly. There might still be someone down there!"

The two brothers discuss things in whispers. What do they decide to do?

  1. Help the cook.
  2. Go get help.
  3. Stay very still as someone had just entered the room.
