Once upon an orbit of planet Fait, a playful young girl and her flustered yet resourceful single father must endure sickness, encounter exotic creatures, escape a predatory government, and outwit a wicked wizard to survive just one more day. Having...
Long, long ago, during First World of Planet Fait, there slouched a haunted house by the Blood Sea, and inside that haunted house dwelled three boggis, which had bossessed a Green Bat, a Yellow Rat, and a Blue Cat.
One day, while the three boggis were out haunting, someone came into their house. What happened next no one really knows, so the boggis' master, an evil wizard who believed himself to be very smart and who could solve any mystery, set to asking them.
When the Evil Wizard returned at midnight, expecting to find his dinner fully cooked and just right over the fireplace, and yet found no Princess Poriggia there, he demanded of his sinister servants, "Where is my dinner?!"
None of the three boggis wanted to explain their failure to their master, so they cowered and shivered and trembled, taking quick steps backward, but two of the three were faster at retreating, so it ended up that the Green Bat was fluttering foremost front in line before their dark lord.
The Green Bat declared, "My lord, an evil, old, disgusting woman—she must have been a witch, by the warts of her—she broke in whilst we were out a-haunting. She must have wanted to steal your dinner of the princess beauteous and fair who we left to cook and rotate on the spit over the fireplace, so that she may be to your liking when you returned. That foul witch, she stole the Princess Poriggia right off the spit so she could eat her herself. We three arrived home in time to find the witch stealing her away out the window. We three boggis, with all our might, tried to stop her, but the witch was too powerful, and the witch and the princess made it out, alas, escaping into night."
"Is that what happened?" boomed the Evil Wizard, turning to the Yellow Rat and the Blue Cat. "If so, I will destroy you all." The Evil Wizard raised his hands at them.
"Liar!" cried the Yellow Rat at the Green Bat. "It flies false before you, my lord."
"Oh? Then, you tell me what happened, Yellow Rat." The Evil Wizard stayed his hands, folding his arms again across his chest.
The Green Bat fluttered back in line with the Blue Cat, while the Yellow Rat ended up foremost. The Yellow Rat's tail twitched forth and back in its terror, and gnawed its sharp buck teeth, yet gave its tremulous testimony next.
"As Green Bat starts, so it was. We three went out a-haunting whilst the Princess cooked on the spit rotating over the fireplace, since we know so well you don't like your dinner cooked too fast, so we were cooking her slow, a slow turn over and over, and her screaming was giving us all such a headache, so we headed out to go a-haunting... While we were gone, a young girl—she was young, not old—broke into the house. She had a rainbow lock. The broken chair you find there by the hearth, Rainbowlock used that to smash the rotisserie and free the Princess Poriggia. We three returned to the house and, as Blue Cat and I were finding the broken chair by the fireplace, Green Bat flew on ahead of us upstairs. I found Green Bat helping Princess Poriggia and Rainbowlock escape out the window!"
Green Bat shouted, "Liar!" and dived at Yellow Rat. Yellow Rat dodged and scurried behind the Evil Wizard's foot to hide.
Evil Wizard looked up at Green Bat, then looked down at Yellow Rat, and then over to Blue Cat. He snarled, "Someone is lying..."
The Evil Wizard seized Green Bat in one hand and grabbed Yellow Rat in the other hand. He held them both dangling in the air and turned his furious attention to Blue Cat. "You shall tell me how it truly happened, Blue Cat, or all three of you shall die."
