THE TERROR AND THE TANIWHA

One foot flailed in the air before landing on stone. For a moment he stood straddling the tumbling sea, shaking, before he could force himself to continue.

His feet found the next stone, and the next, and a second later he fell out of a small chip of rock into a brightly coloured drawer and then tumbled to the floor.

“I’m never doing that again. Not ever,” he complained as Perrin clambered out of the pebble behind him.

She clutched her arms around herself as if she didn’t want to let go. “That was a bit scary,” she said. “I thought you were-”

“Never mind that maudlin stuff,” Ike said. “We have to get on with it.”

“Never mind us almost dying,” Perrin snapped back.

“What first?” Alec said, pretending to be braver than his stomach felt. He didn’t need them arguing again.

“I don’t know,” Ike said. “Why are you always asking me?”

“Um.” Alec looked around and noticed strange skeletons were mounted on the nearest wall. “Ugh! I don’t think this is a library at all. Look.” He pointed at the wall, shuddering.

Perrin nodded. “Yes, those colours are horribly bright.”

Alec gulped. “Is that a giant bug on that wall?” Whatever it was had pincers longer than his arm and a tail that could skewer a man. “It’s so gross, and what the heck’s that – oh,” Alec said, at last recognising it as a human skeleton. Mostly. Except for the tail. “This must be the museum.”

“No taniwhas here,” Perrin said. “Just this manky old sword, and some more old rubbish.”

“Looks pretty cool to me,” Alec said, staring at the dragon-hide sword and the notice next to it.
