The Wizard’s Worst Nightmare (Chapter Three)
They didn’t have to wait long for action.
‘The Others’ came with a new attraction.
The flying machines beamed down things.
Weird metal monsters with metal rings.
3 legged things that walked with a jerk.
No clue as to what made them work.
They beamed a ray that turned you to ash.
A wizard shield protected, but would it last?
Nothing conjured up had any effect.
“Can’t we stop them? What the heck!!”
Then, Wizards tried a magical rope.
Tripped a machine. It fell without hope.
Robot legs thrashed about in the air.
It wasn’t going anywhere.
Siran and Ansir were nearby the thing.
Suddenly, it was hit by a blue beam.
They grabbed it and held on tight.
All were beamed up out of sight.
They were aboard in some kind of hold.
That’s when things started to unfold.
Their translator amulets worked.
They picked up mental quirks.
‘The Others’ talked with mental telepathy.
Siran and Ansir could hear, you see.
The amulets helped them understand.
One of them was giving commands.
Ansir and Siran stayed out of sight.
‘The Others’ were talking about the fight.
One of them mentioned the kids on board.
‘Leave them to their own accord.’
‘They are not a threat to us at all.’
‘They are lucky they can do more than crawl.’
‘I doubt if the adults are much smarter.’
‘Smash the dirty little heathens for a starter.’
Ansir and Siran dropped ‘The Others’ where they stood.
A simple knock out spell worked like it should.
They quickly located the kids.
They tied each to them via a magic grid.
Then, they zapped back down to earth.
All were o.k., for what it was worth.
‘The Others’, who were knocked out in the hold
had amnesia, and blamed it on getting old.
The kids told everyone all they had learned.
It helped some, but Siran and Ansir could return.
They decided against it just then.
They knew the kids were missed within
the flying machine. Best stay clear for now.
They could make plans on what is allowed.
Things are just getting started in this battle.
Tune in again and hear sabers rattle.
