The Adventures of Thomas: Every Tale Has a Beginning - Page 3

Thomas was furious. His cart was stranded, and the damn horse had run off. He was not very happy. If he was lucky, that horse would be his steak when he got back...

Then again, it meant he had no mode of transportation. He was near town, so he might be able to get some transportation there. It couldn't hurt.

A large man carrying a heavy sack over his shoulder was forced to drop his load and leap out of the way to avoid the charging horse. The sack burst as it hit the ground, spilling grain onto the dirt road. Scraped, but not injured, the man got up, dusted himself off, then stared at the ruined grain. "Well ain't that just a witch's curse. The last delivery of the day, and now I got to do it all over again." Frustrated and annoyed, the man muttered a few curses at the renegade horse. He then noticed a man who looked as if he had just been fighting a losing battle against a hurricane.

"I'm guessin that crazy thing that just nearly trampled me was your horse. If ya need another, there's a stable just on the edge of town." The man looked back and pointed to a large stucture that stuck out against the otherwise perfectly straight row of buildings. "But I'd advise you to take a little more care of your horses from now on; many folk 'round here don't take kindy to almost gettin killed. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a delivery to do, AGAIN."

Not waiting for the stranger's response, the man brushed off his mustashe and grunted slightly as he hustled back to town, cursing under his breath with each step.

The stables the large man was referring to was also an inn, it seemed. It was difficult to see because of the building next to it obscuring the side of the inn, but something...not-right was happening. The sound of splintering wood and a strange cry. A few boards fell out into the main street. A vision of a bright blue shape emerged, followed by another, and another. The hastily moving creature slowly revealed itself. Some kind of giant crab, foam dripping from its mandibles as it skuttled sideways from the alley between the buildings. It was bright blue to a white blend in color and was about six feet in height, eight and a half across with a left pincer the size of an adult's head and a right pincer three times that size and lethal looking. It shrieked again, confirming that it was the origin of the monstrous sound. Judging from how it was moving, the crab was trying hard to escape from something and looked wild enough to probably end up attacking anyone who got too close.

A large man, wearing a white cape and chef's hat rushed out the door, a butcher's knife in hand, "You get back in that pot you overgrown shellfish, do you hear me!? That's a bad oversized shellfish, bad!!"

Raiden · 02-05-2006, 11:56 AM

Thomas arrived to see the......was it a crab? It might have been. He reached down to his waist and felt the sword that hung there.

"Well, if it decides to get rough, I will. But hopefully it won't, because that's just troublesome."

Astral Harmony · 02-05-2006, 07:43 PM

The large crab picked up a broken board and tossed it uselessly at the cook, the board hitting the corner of the inn and falling to the ground. It didn't seem to know how to defend itself very well, regardless of how large and dangerous it looked. Obviously, it didn't know how to deal with so many possible enemies.

"Did you let the damned thing out of it boiler pot again?! Damn that chef!"

The stablehand emerged from the wreckage golding a glowing staff. It seemed to surge with electricity.

"Hey kid, you look brave. Catch."

With that, the stablehand tossed the staff at Thomas.

MC43 · 02-06-2006, 12:19 PM

"It's not my fault!" He walked over and smacked the crab with a soup ladle he pulled from his apron, "Back in the pot! Do you hear me!? Back in there right now!"

He looked over to Thomas, "You... with the lighting stick, give me a hand hearding this back into the pot!"

An odd little creature scrambled atop the giant crab's shell.

"Viva la marine revolution! Now comes the day when we, the dwellers of the sea claim the land as well, as is our right as the superior species!"

The creature capered about atop the shell, wearing as a headband an odd little badge last seen on the horse's harness.

Astral Harmony · 02-06-2006, 04:06 PM

The crab hurriedly backed away from the cook, swinging its smaller left pincer in a clumsy arc. Foam dribbled from its shivering mandibles.
