Bay continues telling Mab the secret story of Cubes and Kings: Savante Tas stood in the grand main room of the Uhrain castle with King Loam behind her. She scanned the area around her, searching for something.... "Wait! There is another Ancient One coming into this room!" Savante yelled. "Garen Yar, the knight errant who has been fighting against my plans! And there is another with much Ancient energies within! Who could it be......" "SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAKKKKK!" came a cry that thundered through the huge castle room! "NNOOOOOOO!" Savante Tas screamed in terror! "It's Tidbit the rat! Only he's a giant! And Garen Yar is riding on top of him!" "Yes, your wickedness!" Garen Yar said. He was perched high up on top of Tidbit's enormous back, like a rider on a horse. "Your time of reckoning is at hand!" Garen Yar yelled as he gripped his blazing energy sword in his right hand. The sword crackled and cast a harsh red light on to everything! "Squeak Squeak!" The giant-sized Tidbit cried as he stomped his feet in fury, sending a plume of dust into the air. The dust particles crackled and burned into a fine mist as it swirled around the swordsman's glowing red blade! "No! Stay away!" King Loam screamed. "Keep that monster away from us! I don't want to be eaten by it!" "How dare you, Garen!" Savante Tas hissed. "I command you to get that foul, disgusting Rat away from me!" "Neither Tidbit or I take orders from you, Evil One!" Garen yelled. "And neither of you need fear Tidbit! He is a good soul and a beloved pet of King Olar! He isn't here to eat you or harm you! He is here as a witness!" "A witness?!" Savante said with a chuckle. " A witness to what? Your stupidity? Your treason?!" "No!" Garen retorted. "To the cruel and vicious things you have done to him!" "Me?!" Savante said. "I haven't done anything to the beast! I was forced to watch him playing games and getting kisses and hugs from that young wall rat, king Olar! It is Tidbit that has harmed me! Just the sight of him makes my skin crawl!" "Look at him! Does he look like he did when young Olar petted him and kissed his little pink nose? Does he look like the tiny baby rat that kept a boy hiding in a wall from total loneliness and despair! NO! He's been altered into this mutant... by YOU!" Garen Yelled. "Liar!" Savante cried. "I never did anything to that rodent!" "You Sent Lom Uhrain to strangle King Olar!" Garen said. "You were controlling him through his uniform, which was filled with cosmic power! Tidbit saved King Olar by biting and tearing the control uniform! He absorbed all that power and became a giant!" "Lom failed?! NO!" Savante said. "Olar the Wall Rat escapes my wraith, again!" "Lom? My brother?!" King Loam asked. "He's alive?!" "Yes! Only because I regenerated his body!" Savante said with a smug smile. "What better assassin than Olar's precious friend who layed down his life for him all those years ago!" "You did that to my brother?!!" King Loam yelled. "You desecrated his peace! His Sanctity! By all that is Holy, you must pay!" "Silence, slave! You forget your place!" Savante snapped. "Yes! Desecration!" Garen Yar said firmly. "Against animals and against nature itself! The most serious crimes an Ancient One can commit! Tidbit is the proof!" Savante Tas merely rolled her eyes and waved her hand dismissively at Garen Yar. "You know the penalty for these crimes!" Garen Yar said. "I evoke the powers of legend! Savante Tas, you are under arrest! You will tried by the High Council of Or! You will pay for what you have done!" TO BE CONTINUED!
