We let the phone ring a couple more seconds unsure if we should even pick it up until Not Enrique questioned, "Uh. Is someone gonna to pick that up?"
Blinky walked up to the phone and we followed close behind. Blinky said, "Uh. Salutations?"
"Welcome to Omni Reach Travel. Where would you like to go?" The person asked. We gasped and the person asked again, "Where would you like to go?"
"Where two faces meet?" Claire wondered. The person hung up. Suddenly, the room started shaking and Not Enrique claimed that he didn't do it. I realized that we were basically in an elevator. Toby started freaking out and exclaimed, "What are we going to do? We gotta get out of here."
"It's too late to turn back now. We must face what's before us with courage, and beyond all else, a warrior's dignity." Blinky said. Then, Toby shrieked and fell backwards as a painting of Gunmar appeared. Then, we reached the bottom and the doors opened. A female voice announced, "Welcome to the Janus Order." The lights turned on one by one and I sighed with relief that no one was there in the hallway. We have successfully infiltrated the Janus Order.
"The Janus Order. This must be one of their bases of operations. By Gorgus, we were seeking a trail of breadcrumbs and wandered straight into the baker's oven!" Blinky exclaimed in a whisper.
"I've got a bad feelin' about this." Not Enrique said.
"So do I, Not Enrique." I agreed.
"We will have to improvise. The antidote must be in this building. We're in the den of spies, so try to walk lightly. Now, fan out! Find the antidote and try not to killed." Blinky said. That is what I'm worried about. We have a very real chance of getting caught and I wondered how long our presence will go unnoticed. I went with Blinky and Not Enrique on the left while Toby and Claire took the right.
After walking for about ten minutes, we heard footsteps ahead and we took cover behind some statues. After a minute of not hearing anything, Blinky whispered, "That was too close."
We came out of our hiding spots and we were met face to face with a group of changelings. I turned to Blinky and said, "You were saying?" I didn't even have time to summon the Thriskule before we were knocked out.
"They're going to torture us, aren't they?" Toby cried as I woke up. I looked around and I was tied up next to Claire, Blinky, and Not Enrique. Toby was in front of us and there was a stone table with tools on it.
"Good thing I have four hands. Almost. Almost!" Blnky exclaimed, then he fell face flat on the ground, then he finished, "Almost." I tried to summon the Thriskule, but couldn't. I looked behind me and noticed that ropes were covering my the tattoo, so I couldn't summon the Thriskule. Great. Just great.
"I can't summon the Thriskule." I said.
Then, the doors opened and Otto came wheeling in a record player. He went over to Blinky and lifted him back up while saying, "My deepest apologies. You must understand our irrational fears when discovering intruders crashing our private party. You did not get an invitation."
"Oh, come on, man. I ain't with them. I was playin' both sides. You can untie me. We're on the same s-" Not Enrique was interrupted by Otto who exclaimed, "Silence! You have an abnormally large mouth for such a tiny changeling. Do not doubt my intelligence, imp! We never expected much from you."
"You're not like the others, are you? You changed into Not Enrique." Claire said.
Then, Otto changed into the guy that we had boxed in last night! So, he never truly got away from us after all. He walked up to Claire and explained, "Yes, I am a changling polymorph. I can take on the form of anyone." He transformed back into Otto and chuckled, "One of the perks of being the Grand Commandant." He picked up the screwdriver on the table.
"I don't care who you are. You can torture us all you want. We're not talking." Claire stated.
"What she said." I said.
"I'll talk. Don't listen to them. I have loose lips! I'm a chatty-fatty!" Toby exclaimed. We glared at him and Toby stated, "Don't judge. I'm the one in the torture chair."
Otto shushed Toby and said, "So much noise. Now, let us discuss what we should do with you." He went over to the record player and leaned in closely while he played the music.
"Dude, I said I'll talk! Stop being creepy with your record player!" Toby shouted.
Otto shushed him. What is he doing? Then, he stopped playing the music and turned to us. He picked up the screw driver and said, "Oh. A change in plans. The Janus Order would like to propose a trade."
"A trade for what, Mr. Evil Man?" Blinky questioned. The door opened and Otto was handed a book. Otto continued, "The antidote for Creeper's Sun. Correct me, if I'm wrong, but your stone friend Aaarrrgghh, needs this."
"What's the catch?" Claire questioned.
"Such a clever one. For the life of your friend, we wish only Vendel's walking staff." Otto said.
"But, his staff is sacred, forged from the center of our Heartstone." Blinky pointed out.
"And therefore exceptionally rare. Aaarrrgghh's life for the staff. Consider it a one time offer." Otto said while picking up another one of his tools. He walked over to Toby who cried out, "We'll consider! We'll consider! I've already been to the dentist! I can't take it anymore!"
"Toby!" I shouted as Toby cried out in pain. Then, I noticed that his headgear was simply being taken off. Otto said, "Torture? This is just to take off your headgear off. We can't have you listening in on our secrets anymore, can we?"
Toby moved his jaws around, then with tears streaming down his face, said, "Thank you."
A/N: One more thing. When Monica summons her armor by stating: For the glory of both Merlin and Morgana, the power to wield the Thriskule, to turn the tides of battle, is mine to command. I'm thinking of changing it to: For the glory of Merlin and Morgana, the power to turn the tides of battle is mine to command. I just think it flows better, but I wanted to know what you guys think:
1. For the glory of both Merlin and Morgana, the power to wield the Thriskule, to turn the tides of battle, is mine to command.
or
2. For the glory of Merlin and Morgana, the power to turn the tides of battle is mine to command.
What do you guys think it should be?
