Pete McGee sat underneath a tree, the Green Book in his lap. He sat alone and watched the others, trying to work out what to do next. The sun was getting lower in the sky, and soon they would set up camp for the night. According to the Green Book they were still half a day’s march from the cave where the evil blob had been banished. Even when they got there, Pete didn’t know what they would find. He severely doubted his mum and Marloynne were being held there. This Syra Tanooth guy seemed pretty dumb, but he wouldn’t be that dumb. Surely not. Still, you could only hope.

Pete tried to get his head around Syra, but he couldn’t. He wondered what Syra Tanooth’s goal was. It seemed that he simply wanted to take Pete down, and Pete had no idea why. They’d never even met before. Syra had talked about wanting to face Pete in battle, but then set a test that he thought would kill Pete. It was the worst test ever in terms of killing someone, but that’s not the point. It’s the thought that counts. It was all too weird.

Pete sighed. He thought about knight training, how rigid it was, and how he wanted to get out. Sometimes though, on journeys like this, being told what to do would come in handy. It would be so much easier than having to come up with the solution himself. Right now, it would just be really good if someone could tell him what to do.

Pete sighed again and rubbed his eyes. So much had happened in his life. He had been forced to grow up so quickly. It would be nice to be able to just be. But that wasn’t going to happen yet, and besides, in the back of his mind, Pete McGee knew that all he wanted to do was save his mum and Marloynne. After that he could think about all the other stuff. After that he could do whatever he wanted. Right now, in this moment, he needed to be Sir Pete McGee, the brave and noble knight. He needed to be a great man, a righter of wrongs, and a rescuer of fair maidens. Pete smiled. There were none fairer than his mum.

He closed the Green Book and put it on the ground. He would pick it up and pack it away later. Then he stood up and strode over to where Smithers and Molloy were training. It had started out as sparring but was starting to get serious. Pete didn’t want to be left out of that, so he leapt in with a battle cry, knocking Molloy to the ground and then facing Smithers, a huge grin on his face. It was time to get physical!
