Chapter 19

The breakdown

T he next day, the boys were back at it.

“Remember, they can't do anything to us in their spectre form” Pinly said. Vince nodded absentmindedly. He seemed focused. They went through the corridor, then discreetly flew inside the red and gold room. Pinly put a hand on Vince's chest to stop him moving forward. Tempus was there, sitting on the throne, his eyes were shut and his head was resting on his fist.

“Do you think spectres can sleep?” Vince whispered, but before Pinly could reply, he had to violently push the tiny fairy out of the way. Cook had appeared out of nowhere, mid-air, his axe ready to strike them down.

“No they don't!” Cook laughed like the maniac he was. His axe embedded in the wall. The boys flew down, but Tempus was waiting there for them, his sword ready to slash. Pinly conjured his own and they clashed. The fairy was sent flying back by the impact. He saw Cook coming from behind, his axe fully drawn, but before Cook could reach him, Vince was swinging at the squire with both his swords. Cook changed to his spectre form and Vince went through him. The squire let out another of his demented laughs and engaged in a fight with Vince. The speed at which they both changed to their different forms was impressive.

“Don't forget about me!” Pinly dodged Tempus just in time but was grazed on the cheek. Small beads of blood began to drip down his face, it stung but he wasn't going to complain about such a small cut when Tempus was swinging at him, left and right. He couldn't keep up with him at all. He had to fly back to avoid being cut again.

“P the door!” He heard Vince's voice and saw one of his sabres fly towards Tempus. The leprechaun dodged it, giving time for Pinly to escape to the other corridor.

“They're so strong!” Pinly said as he realised he had a few more cuts than he thought. He quickly glanced back and realised that the spectres weren't following them “let's hide” he said. They entered a new room. It was dark and dusty, there was a large bed and a few other furniture he didn't take time to look at. They quickly slid under the bed.

“What's the plan?” Vince could stand under the bed since he was so small. He stayed close to Pinly's ear so he could whisper.

“I don't know, but we need to avoid being seen at all cost” Pinly replied

“Absolutely” Vince nodded. The thought of fighting Tempus again made Pinly's heart race. Now he understood why Miss Poli was training them to run more than to fight, if they were to meet folks as strong as Tempus out there, it would be bad. There would be no Miss Poli to intervene. They would be killed. Pinly silently gasped when he saw the blue light of one of the spectres illuminating the room. There was no way to tell if it was Tempus or Cook as the spectre flew too high for them to see their feet.
