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!!"

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.

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

Raiden · 02-06-2006, 04:21 PM

Thomas took the strange glowing rod, looked over at the crab, and sighed.

"This is an omen, I know it. God couldn't simply let me deliver the necklace. He wants me to fight things, too. Dammit."

Though the Crab Prod was a stick, Thomas didn't have much experience with rods. So he held it like a sword, and rushed toward the crab with the intent to strike it with the prod on its shell.

Astral Harmony · 02-08-2006, 05:30 PM

The crab was still too busy flailing clumsily at the cook to notice Thomas rushing it.

Bailey · 02-09-2006, 07:01 AM

The odd creature however, leapt off of the crab and landed on Thomas's shoulders, putting its hands over his eyes.

"Excellent! Now I can finally have dinner!" Some random man in a very nice outfit shouted at thomas after the crab had been shocked to a point of near-death. It wasn't moving, but it looked liked it still breathed.

"My, I must thank you for the help you have given me. Without you, it could have been well over 10 minutes before I ate." The man, which now Thomas could note was rather large, can bumbling over to Thomas. Once the man of fat had walked next to Thomas, he wrapped an arm around his shoulders and suddenly Thomas felt an incredible weight fall upon him.

"Tell you what I am going to do." The man completly ignoring whatever Thomas was doing. "I have 50 gold to blow tonight. Name one thing you want in the entire world that I can afford, and its yours." At the word yours, the fat man seemed to lean his entire weight onto Thomas.
