CHAPTER 37

THOR_TRI_ATTIC ATTACK

“Chosen One, come on. There are no swarms in here to attack you,” Qube said, attempting to coax the Hero of all Human and Human-Adjacent Beings into the strange-smelling shop. The last time they had been there the shop had been completely empty. The owner, Apothecary Joycelyn, had wanted to start a new tailoring business and had needed them to gather some special berries so she could make potions and dyes.

What had once been a silent and still room was now filled with bubbling vats, drying swatches, and various eye-wateringly clashing combinations of clothing and potion colours. Apothecary Joycelyn, who had yet to greet the people physically inside her shop, continued to stare unblinkingly at the Hero across the street.

“I’m not the one on trial here; let those two get it,” the Chosen One muttered, his shield and Sacred Sword at the ready.

Qube paused. He was right. This was a job for Sewer Bard and Sexy Screamy Spider Lady—she shouldn’t be getting involved or encouraging others to interfere. In fact, that might jeopardise the whole mission if the rulers found out that the candidates had received outside help!

Not for the role of ruler, of course. Given that Sexy Screamy Spider Lady was their only child, the Thorny Crown trial was obviously just a formality, but it could potentially impact Sewer Bard’s application for Head Guard!

“Definitely Bad Guy, Squiggles!” Qube hissed, suddenly very aware of just how obviously they were with Sewer Bard. “Get out of the shop! Quick, come stand across the street!”

As the Mage and team mascot hurried over to her (Squiggles noticeably reluctant to leave Sewer Bard and Sexy Screamy Spider Lady) Qube crouched next to the Chosen One.

“Do you think they’ll be able to get the birthday present?” she whispered.

“I honestly don’t know,” he replied. “That’s part of the reason I don’t want to get involved. I want to see how far they can get.”

“Hopefully, they can get all the way through the trial,” Qube said. She had to resist the urge to go and tell the pair how much she believed in them. Would overt displays of encouragement count as helping? What could she do that wasn’t helpful and supportive?

Qube’s whole life was helping!

“Hello, my good woman,” she heard Sewer Bard say. Risking a look, Qube noticed that Apothecary Joycelyn had yet to break eye contact with the Chosen One.

“We’re here for Snugglepuss’s birthday present,” Sexy Screamy Spider Lady said. Slowly, Apothecary Joycelyn turned her head away from the Chosen One and looked at Sexy Screamy Spider Lady. The Hunter extended two claws.

“The birthday presenIis in... the attic,” Apothecary Joycelyn said very, very slowly. Unlike before, where she had been bouncing with enthusiasm and practically tripping over her own words, she now seemed to be struggling to speak. She shook her head slightly as if to clear it. “Yes. It’s in the attic. You will have to go and fetch it. Be careful though—sometimes I hear bumping in the night from up there. It’s probably ghosts!”

“I knew it!” the Chosen One yelled from outside.
