VanTee20: EPISODE 8 (contd.)
Before I could give him a reply, Fabianus let out a chuckle and said;

'Van, you are funny. You are not David and Gustavus is certainly not Golaiath. He is way stronger and more powerful.'

Honestly, I don't know why my mouth always fall open when I'm surprised. Yes that's exactly what happened as my mouth just fall open like gate wey no get gateman.

'You are surprised, eh? You shouldn't be my friend,' Fabianus remarked 'Remember I told you I have the Sage's power. I read minds too.'

'Ok. Where exactly is Gustavus now?' I asked weakly, trying my best to mask my confusion, surprise and fear.

'Errm... He is in the Distein forest,' Fabianus replied 'Let me show you a picture of him,' he added as he rose from his seat and walked to a shelf stuffed with books to get the picture.

He came back and handed me a small book with the picture of a beast-like giant (or is it a giant-like beast) bowing to a short, stocky man dressed in red and black on it.

'Who is this man?' I asked, pointing to the short man in the picture.

'You mean you don't know him?' Fabianus asked, looking very surprised 'Haven't you read the scroll the Sage gave you?'

'No, I haven't. I can't read Latin,' I replied.

'Ok. I'll give the english version of the scroll,' Fabianus said 'Back to that man in the picture. Well, his name is Justus.'

... Walahi! I don tire for all these 'us' wey dey end these people names o...

'He is a very powerful sorcerer and he is our biggest enemy,' Fabianus continued 'Right now, I think he is in Distein too, building up his immortal army.'

'Immortal whaaaat?'

'Immortal army, yes. He's planning to destroy Casvillé with it. That is why we need your help but we must first retrieve the black sword of the gods because without it you have no power at all.'

'Where is the black sword now?' I asked.

'The sword is in Carzëf, we will go there maybe next week to get the sword back because we must make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands,' Fabianus answered.

He stood up, signalling the end of our little meeting. I stood up too and we shook hands.

'Here is the english version of that scroll with you. It contains all the information you will need,' Fabianus said, as he gave me the new scroll.

'Thanks,' I muttered and started to make my way towards the door.

'Wait Van,' Fabianus called 'Here is something else you will be needing.'

I collected the thing, it was a book; Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

______________

I returned to my room to find the King, the Queen, the Knights and the Noblemen there.

... Kai! Wetin be dis? Another bad news ko?...

'O Athanasius. We hath waited long for thee. The company art ready. Let us go,' the King said.

... Which kain greeting be dis na?...

'Where are we going?' I asked.

'To Austieres. A jousting tournament wilt be held thiter in thy honour,' the King replied.

... Jousting tournament? Wtf does that mean?...

To be continued...

Happy birthday ENEZE
