Answers to those annoying
Questions!"I seem to be in your debt." Humfrey says ruefully. "How in the world did you know to put reverse wood in Youth water? I would have never thought of it!"
"Thank Grumby, he's the one who thought it up....or will think it up.....or something." Scott says, confused. "Look, we have a BIG problem here!"
Humfrey blanches: "You're so right! My son is still out there, alone! He could get KILLED ot there!"
Humfrey runs into the next room, Scott shakes his head and walks in seeing Humfrey shouting at a mirror. Scott knows it's magical, because the thing keeps showing various scenes of other places.
"Work you piece of JUNK!" Humfrey shouts. "Show me my son!"
"Uh dear." the Gorgon says gentlely. "There been a few....changes."
"Show me Hugo, from the storyline 'Dragon on a Pedastal.'" Scott calls to the mirror.
The mirror flickers and shows a young (but somewhat slow looking) boy is talking to a younger version of Jenny Elf, a younger Che, a youthened Gap Dragon, a very young Ivy, and an adult golbiness that Scott thinks is.....Gwenny. A large, ugly man comes stomping into the picture, changes into a large but human man, and shouts something and the others walk towards him
"Thank goodness!" breathes Humfrey. "Smash found him and Ivy! The Gap Dragon has been found and.....appears to be under control! That talent of Ivy's is heaven sent! He even found Ivy and.....a few friends! Now to tackle that fragmenting Forget Spell!"
Scott bites his tongue. This should be interesting.
Humfrey stops in his tracks, and looks puzzled. "Young man, just how did you get my mirror to work? And what is this about.....a dragon on a pedestal?"
He looks behind Scott and sees the others. Some look releived at the turn of events. Others looked concerned about....something.
"Sit down, Humfrey." Scott sighs as he grinds out his cigerette on a bootheel. "This is going to take a while. I hope to God that you can make heads or tails of it and fix this mess. I'm also going to answer a few Questions here, if you don't mind, because I rather doubt that it'll make an ounce of difference in the final solution to our shredding problem!"
The strange group gathers around, hungry for a few answers to this problem
facing Xanth.
