Gibletized (Chapter 9)

(So ... Sir Snuggles, I was thinking that since we ran out of wolves we should go find something else to do.)

(Like what?) 

(I don't know, uhhmm ... How about we find our way to the surface and destroy some stuff?) 

(Yea sure that sounds like it could be fun.)

A large black dragon then lowers it's head long enough for a small rabbit to get on its head before raising it and beginning a slow climbing the walls of the canyon not struggling to hold on.

(Hey, now that all the wolves we could find are dead what's gonna kill any adventurers that come in the canyon?)

(Well the giant moles of course. They always kill anything that tries to leave with a power crystal. They've even been known to capture some and psychologically torture them until they're insane, then send them to the surface with nothing but the clothes on their back.)

(Wow, harsh. Is everything in this canyon giant?)

(Most things here tend to be quite bigger than most things elsewhere, so Yea probably.)

The climb up was hard and for a now fifty foot tall dragon not including the two pairs of wings on his back it became a tight fit in some places. 

After a few hours of climbing at a good pace the surface was finally reached by the bunny and dragon duo.

(Oh thank god. I thought we would never reach the surface.)

(You should probably change back into human form as to not attract unwanted attention.)

(For what purposes?)

(We will go to the human capital over there and buy some essential then go and ... What exactly are we doing from there?)

(Well the plan is to do whatever we want, sound good?)

(Yea I guess we can get ambitious after we figure more stuff out. All I need is to scan a few human minds and we will have all the information we could need.)

(You can do that? Is there anything else you're not telling me?)

(Yes, and yes. Off we go.)

(Wait you have a name so do I need one?)

(Hmmmm ... I suppose so I can't keep calling you idiot forever, there are alot of idiots it would eventually get reasonably confusing. How about, Jester?)

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

(Yeah OK. I don't see why not. Let's get going.)

Jester and Sir Snuggles then set off towards the ominous city looming in the distance, known as the capital of Atmora. 

After another several hours of walking with a rabbit on his head Jester and [skeleton] crew arrive at the gates to the city. They are greeted by two gate guards.

"State your purpose in the great city of Atmora." Said the guard not drawing his sword but still gripping the handle.

"I'm here to destr- buy supplies. Yup just need some supplies."

"Sir would you mind wiping the hair out of your face, I'll need to at least get a good look at you as to see if you're a wanted criminal or not."

Jester then pushed the several inches below the shoulder hair out of his face, causing the guards to immediately drop their jaws as well as the hold they had on their weapons.

"What, is there something on my face?" 

"My apologies Sir Theron, I count tell it was you at first with that scar as well as your ummm having gotten alot bigger. We'll get you an audience with the king immediately."

"Oh ummm, OK."

One of the guards then rushed off and came back a few minutes later with four more guards that began leading Jester to the king. Jester didn't really know what was happening but he felt that he really must have impressed them. While he was taller then them by almost a foot and probably alot heavier then them since their muscles were puny, he felt that wasn't it. Was it his clothes, no it couldn't be he was only wearing torn up pants and a metal shoulder pad. He eventually settled on just going along for the ride.

They reached the palace in almost no time flat, mainly because wherever they went everyone immediately got out of their way before staring at Jester.

(These human are really easily to impress.)

(No, from what I'm getting from their minds is that apparently you were this kingdoms former hero. Everyone thought you were dead.)

(I guess this is about to get interesting then.)

Upon entering the palace they quickly moved to the throne room. The throne room was well decorated with many human and some not human nobles, most chatting with each other and the king, queen, and princess. The princess wasn't really paying any attention and looked fairly bored. When they entered the throne room several trumpets blew getting everyone's attention, and focusing it on Jester.

"Your majesty, presenting Sir Lucius Theron, former hero of the kingdom."

The room had suddenly gotten extremely quiet, deathly so in fact. Said silence was interrupted by the gasping of many as Jester wiped his hair out of the way of his face.

"How are you alive." The king barely managed to stammer out.

"Well I started by not dying. Then followed that with being fucking awesome."

One of the guards then stepped up to Jester and whispered in his ear. 

"It is customary to bow before the king."

"I bow before no man, beast, child, or potato  especially not a weakling like you." Said Jester almost yelling while looking the king right in the face, causing the king to immediately pale.

"Sir Theron, surely you jest, that is a crime punishable by death." Said a plump human noble standing up, then quickly sitting down when Jester looked in his direction.

"I agree, I do jest, my name is Jester. You guys keep calling me this Theron guy, but while that may have been who I was, it's not who I am anymore. I don't remember much from that time, but I remember [via the worlds most intelligent super rabbit] enough to know that you weren't very nice to me, no matter what I did. So no I won't bow to the likes of you, you impotent, senile old man."

The king then stood up basically fuming.

"Do you have a death wish!"

"Feel free to come at me." Jester retorted back.

"Guards arrest him and set a date for his execution." 

The guards then all gave each other glances before moving to arrest Jester.  The guard who got closest first was then flicked by Jester, cussing him to immediately become a pile of flesh in an indentation in the wall on the other side of the room. This caused the guards to all reconsider moving any closer. 

"Please, try that again, I meant to flick him harder."
