They all stared at Brian, waiting. Brian tapped his hands together and looked each of the beings in the eye. "I don't know." but when his eyes locked on Walfrus he paused and whispered. "Ogma"Walfrus leaned forward "What?"
"Ogma. When we left your shop Walfrus a plant creature attacked Artemis and I. It said to, 'no longer bring forth Ogma'. Then it attacked us. Your shop was gone already so we escaped by jumping in a lake."Walfrus sat back, "Ogma, that makes sense for you."
"What do you mean by that?" Brian almost sounded offended.Walfrus waved a placating hand "I mean no offense. I am actually surprised you do not know who that is."As Walfrus started to continue there was a knock at the door.Hel spoke "Expecting company?"
"No it is probably pizza delivery for down the hall. It happens often" said Brian as he stood up to answer the door.Fenris sniffed the air and growled "Be wary""Huh?" was the only word that came out of Brian's mouth as he opened the door.
Everything happened in as flash.A flash of light, a glint of metal, the sound of chains, a growl, a yell.Once the chaos calmed; Brian was on the floor with Tick-tock on top of him, and foot steps could be heard running away.
"Get off of me! what was that?" yelled Brian."Sir!" Tick-tock leaped off of Brian.Walfrus was on the ground with blood coming from his head, his bowler hat on the floor and a dash of gears, cogs, cogs and several of his tools next to him.
