Chapter 12: Moments
“I can’t do it.” “What? Why not?” “There is no way I’m putting that thing in my mouth. It’s sickening just to think about it.” “Then don’t think about it. Just open your mouth and-” “Yew!” “-bite down.” “Bite down!? It’s going to be all quishy on the outside and crunchy on the in.” “Then just swallow it whole!” “That’s even worse!” “What are you two talking about!” Mac demanded as he saw Linda and Melinda each facing each other with determined looks. Well, Melinda had a more disgusted determined look. “She wants me to try and eat one of those biting fairies,” the Diamonds leader said. Linda looked affronted, “I even cooked it.” Mac blanched a little and stared at the Hearts leader who currently had a plate in her hands with a lump that was charred enough that it curled up. “It has little hearts and lungs and bones!” wailed Melinda. Mac stared some more. “So do fish!” argued Linda “It’s a mini human!” “No, it’s not. Given enough of a chance they’d take a bite out of us. “I refuse to eat it.” “Fine. Starve then.” Linda turned to other Diamonds leader. “Mac? You try it.” “Oh hell no!” Mac threw up his hands in defence before spinning on his heel and getting as far away as possible. “Big baby!” Linda called out after him. Melinda watched her partner run away leaving her to battle against eating little humans alone. She peered at Linda. “If you think it’s so good, why don’t you eat it?” Linda looked down at the plate in her hands. “But it might be poisousous. I don’t want to die.” *** Toby stood, as the rest of the crew, transfixed by what he was seeing. This was impossible. This was magick. The sea guardian, a huge tower of continuous spiraling water leaned forward as if to dash itself upon the ship and smash it to bits. “Go back to the Underground” it hissed at Sir Didymus. Toby did not think the fox had one ounce of fear it its body – either that or no sense – for it did not shiver at all in his bowed position. “My lady guardian, thank thee for heeding our call” he said as if his mortality had not just been threatened. The guardian straightened up. “My breathern could not believe an Underground species had the audacity to come here. I came to seek the truth for us all. I will send your body back to your king with lungs still gurgling on sweet salty water.” In a moment, Toby could see that Sir Didymus was about to die. The sea guardian was going to be as merciless as the whole ocean herself in taking life. In a moment Toby knew that he had to step in. Despite the unsettlement Sir Didymus has brought with him, Toby had never felt so alive as he did now in the presence of… magick. The sea guardian twitched just before it moved to attack. “Wait!” The sea guardian stopped and though it had no eyes Toby knew that he was being watched. “Wait” he repeated, “I… I, um…” Toby was at a lost. What could he say? “Toby,” the guardian breathed and the captain’s breath caught in his throat. It knew his name. “I know you. The ocean knows you. Your tears have mixed with our waters, your blood has passed through our blood. I know you, sea child, for you walk upon our waves as lions walk on land. Toby’s mouth opened to say something – anything – but nothing came out. What did a man say to something like that? The guardian suddenly stilled, something had caught its attention. “You have luck today ambassador, the tide of this war has just shifted. I will help you arrive to your shore with speed.” Sir Didymus bowed at the waist. “Thank you, my lady.
