A DaVinci Co-Ed

Part 35

Sid and Biggs were listening at the other door after disabling the guards.

“Did you hear that?” Biggs asked Sid.

“That’s the key event? Not very earth shattering is it?”

“It doesn’t matter, if that’s where the time attack is then that’s where we have to go.”

“Hang on,” said the dwarf, “if we let them stop Arthur being born then he won’t annoy me any more.”

“I’m sorry Sid but if stopping Arthur being born starts a catastrophic time event then you don’t just stop Arthur existing but everything stops existing.”

“Aww, well it was worth a thought.”

“Come on, let’s get back to Arthur.”

“What about rescuing Fawh?”

“That can wait for now, this is more important.”

Calling Arthur on his comms device Sid uttered, “Calling Arthur,” (the Author wrote this while walking down Arthur Street.)

Hearing the sound of heavy combat on the other end Sid then heard, “What do you want Sid, we’re a bit busy at the moment.”

“We know where Fawh is but we need to talk to you. Where are you?”

“Erm, TAKE THAT YOU HAIRY HORNSWAGGLER!”

There were a few thuds to be heard.

“I think we’re at the ballroom. You’ll have to find it on the map on your hand held PC,” Arthur cancelled the link.

Sid and Biggs entered the co-ordinates and vanished.

CHAPTER SEVEN

The ballroom was in the south west part of the palace. As Arthur and Alf were scouting around they encountered some wolf men. Arthur and Alf smelled too much you see.

“Why thank you Author,” interrupted Arthur.

Really it was Arthur who smelled too much.

“Double thank you Author.”

“Let me continue please Arthur.” I continued. The highly sensitive noses of the wolf men could have smelled Arthur miles away with a prevailing wind their noses were that good.

“How come they can’t smell Alf?” queried Arthur.

“He has a smell nullifier equipped.”

“How come I don’t have one of those?”

“He read up on it in ‘Hazards of the Horror Dimension’ and then ordered one from the gadget man on Xanadu.”

“That’s not fair…” Arthur began to whine.

“Yes it is,” rebuked I, “you had the book downloaded on your hand held PC and you did not read it.”

Arthur looked at Alf, “You should have told me to get a smell nullifier.”

“I did not wish to comment about your personal hygiene problems,” commented Alf.

“Personal hygiene problems!” exclaimed Arthur in a high voice, “just because you usually smell like a ladies boudoir.”

“I do not today, I have a smell nullifier and knowing you don’t have one makes me want to go it on my own so you don’t attract any more wolf men that attack us.”

Arthur started to itch.

“Do you have fleas Arthur?” asked Alf.

“It must be off those blobbing wolf men.”

“Are you sure? I think I heard Arianne saying earlier that she needed to de-flea you.”

“Preposterous, she said, “I need to defeat you, at Tetris.”
