Q gave jasper a sharp elbow.

'you could say i saved your pets lives.... that is if they survive my tests...' Aesop grinned wickedly, before, you may have mistaken him for your second favourite uncle, or that friend of your dad that visitis once a year. all sense of normality this man once had left his face so quick you think it would have spotted a clear out sale or something. now Aesop looked mad. mad as a bag of spiders. maybe as mad as when you find somebody else's hair in the plug of your shower(YUCK). his eyes were dancing with pale blue fire. his hands clutched the sides of his throne as if his life depended on it. he looked hollow, but somehow full of life. and with that he set gaze on kings. and she knew what he was up to, what he had been planning to tell her from the start. the truth of his ways. she had to run! to get out of here before the truth claws her ears out. too late. it had already started. 'HUMANS!' he said with more force than any old man she had ever met before. 'are slimy untrust worthy creatures! i admit it myself! it disgusts me! even my perfect collection make me gag. YOU, your even worse. when on the run, i never knew evil and twisted were the likes of men, i believed in the good of people. but i do know now. now i see humans, as my clean followers see them too. another plant of distruction, and if given enough time, will destroy the earth. birds will drop dead out of the sky because of man's works. trees will grow fewer in number every year. we are doomed. as you can see. they too need to be... removed. i have picked my soldiers. they are the men and women of tommorrow! in a weeks time. we will be the last humans of earth.' he said. he looked like your uncle again. that normal dude with white hairs. but kings knew better. her rebel streak lost all colour. 'h-h-how?' she managed to studder. 'h-how will you kill us all.' she said. 

aesop shook his head. 'i will tell you that now.'

jasper whimpered when Q elbowed him.

he then noticed that an interesting speech was happening.

kingswolven looked so sad that he felt sorry for her.

'it wasnt my idea....' he managed to say, avoiding her hopeless, glassy-eyed gaze.

Aesop looked unaffected.

'we will kill you all off with deadly gas only humans can choke on.'

aesop said.

'only than can the earth be free of it's burden. i will release my kami to feed off the bodies. oh did i forget to mention that i have a giant suply of tame PERFECT kami, who do EVERYTHING i tell them too? oops.' aesop grinned his insane grin again. 'take her away jasper, Q.' he commanded.

Q edged awkwardly, trying his best to look like a sentry.

kings couldn't believe it all. the peaceful old man turned out to be a total jack torrance. and swan? she would die if king didn't do something! she looked at jasper and Q. should i wait to tell my beasts? or run away now and safe swan? she thought

Jasper grabbed her shoulders and herded her off back to the dungeons.

Q awkwardly Followed behind.

'JACK TORRANCE!' Kingswolven shouted at the evil olde man-demon

Aesop chuckled at that

later, when jasper came back, aesop whispered 'i have no idea what a jack torrance is'

jasper paused. "german santa claus?' he said, quite unsure of himself.

Aesop frowned 'whats a santa claus? some kind of beer brand?'

'I don't know." jasper admitted. aesop looked into the air with a look of wonder upon his face. 'i will find this santa claus.' he said whistfully.

' OH! I KNOW WHAT IT IS! that reindeer with a red nose! he has a sleigh that is pulled by eight old men wearing red suits! he gives children to presents that have been nice!'

aesop exclaimed

jasper's eyes shone like diamonds, 'will i be given to nice prestents?' he asked. aesop wacked him on the head. 'no fool! you are an adult! i will be the one given to nice presents.' he paused. 'i wonder why she called me after that reindeer in german anyway?' he asked.

jasper shrugged
