PART 5: MEET MR. DEMOR
After a while the children's mouths closed. They sat down and began to talk. Each started showing off their powers especially James who made Sky sing, "Goodbye Blue Sky" making Jacob tell everyone his greatest fear (his parents), convincing Seb to do a scene from The Little Mermaid, "convincing" Tobias to pretend to be an animorph, and forcing Maryam to stop singing.
Their day was going quite well especially when Sky would make it impossible for Tobias to fly. Or when James and Jacob faced off (It was impossible to get over 100 Jacobs doing the chicken dance.) Also when Maryam sang "This Girl Is On Fire" and Sky burst out in flames. The night was going so well that even Seb and Sky got out of their shells. As they were screaming to the moon a black shaped flew down from the sky. A blizy with the royal seal on it. At first no one noticed until finally Brooklyn pointed it out.
"Is it just me or is that shadow moving closed to us??" She asked. Brook was very thoughtful that way. Immediately she felt worry fill people's minds, and decided to fill it with a sense for adventure instead.
"I have no idea, but lets check." Tobias suggested happily. The group walked forward. Inclining towards the shadow. The shadow stopped and they stopped. The shadow moved then they did always going at the same pace. They tiptoed behind the shadow moving when it did, stopping when it did, going faster or slower as it did.
"We are never going to reach like this." Sky shouted and all the others turned to glare.
"Do you even know how fast we are going?" she yelled smoke started to come off of her.
"Yes we are running as fast as possible." James said forcefully. All the others nodded in agreement.
"Really," Sky asked, then she got up and walked forward only to find that she was way faster than everyone else in fact she reached the shadow in that one step, "Are we??"
"Ummmm guess not" James shrugged as Jacob walked over next to Sky and pulled at the shadow it fell away revealing that it was just a cloak, but more importantly that there was a man under the cloak. He had hideous pale skin, white hair that was falling out in big clumps, old rotten teeth that looked ready to give up, a hideous smile that could freeze a melted popsicle, an old hunchback, and a fancy suit of high power.
"Demor," Jacob's cold voice stated.
"At your service, oh wait, I am the king, at my own service." the old "Demor" replied.
"Wait I thought that Demor was a young kid you know with the blue eyes and the blonde hair." Maryam pointed out. Immediately the old man changed, his white hair getting replaced with sandy blonde hair, his teeth get so shiny that they should have a safety warning on them, the black holes in his head turning into shiny blue eyes filled with greed, the wrinkles washed away, and he stood up straight.
"Call me Mr. Demor" he smiled.
