PRESENT DAY IN MIROVIA

“Wait,” said Beau. “I got it!” He then stood up in the cage on the wobbling deck of the skiff. Not really a smooth ride when piloted by an ogre, he thought. “Hey, you!” called out Beau to the nearby guard. “Hey, ugly!!” he shouted.

The guard growled and turned to Beau and the other captives. “What you want?” he asked.

“Hey, can you drop the glamour, so I can see your true self?” asked Beau.

The guard seemed to be thinking about it and then finally said, “No. Lord said always keep glamour on.”

“Well okay, sure. Probably wouldn’t matter much. You all look the same to me anyway. Like a big gob of Bonelich snot!”

“What you SAY!!!” growled the guard.

“Get away from him!” ordered the guard piloting the skiff. “Do your job!”

“So, he’s the smart one, huh?” asked Beau of the first guard. “He can talk in complete sentences.”

“Shut up,” grumbled the large man in the black bowler hat. “Shut up,” he repeated quieter.

“Hey,” said Beau leaning out between the bars to peer closely at the guard. “Were you the one that Mormorant was chewing out about letting my friends escape, stealing hover scooters, a skiff with a cage full of captives and how many plasma protorifles? Hmmm?”

“SHUT UP!!” said the guard pushing against the wooden bar of the cage trying to grab Beau who danced away out of his reach.

“Yeah! I think you are. He doesn’t really respect you much, does he? Kind of treats you like horse shit, huh? Or Mistbug shit?”

“SHUT UP!!!” howled the guard ramming the cage with his shoulder, as he tried to reach Beau, causing the wooden cage to tip precariously on the skiff.

“STOP IT!!!” shouted the guard trying to pilot the skiff. The more he yelled at the other guard and the more he got distracted, the more the skiff began to tip and wobble causing the cage to wobble and slip.

“Move back,” whispered Beau to the other captives. All the common people moved to the far side of the cage, away from Beau and the angry guard. Beau reached through the bars, grabbed the sliver of obsidian off the guard’s neck. The guard howled and doubled in size. He was seven feet tall and almost the same across. His green skin bubbled with his anger, his biceps the size of Beau’s head bulged with veins. His tusks shot out of his mouth and slobber dripped down his face. All the captives behind him started screaming.

“STOP IT!!!” shouted the other guard and the skiff tipped and wobbled again as the pilot started losing control of the skiff.

“OH MY GOD!!!” howled Beau in hysterical laughter. “Your tusks are so small. Micro tusks!!!! Ha, ha, ha, HA! Oh, my god. My human teeth are bigger than your tusks!”

“AAAAGHHHHH!” screamed the ogre and he pushed the cage off the skiff. The other guard ran over, forgetting that he was supposed to be piloting the skiff which began spinning out of control and then crashed into a tree.
