Maybe we should’ve took Jeremy to the Moon with us today, help’him get his head for heights.
Most of the Rooftop squad were pretty buggin’neverous at the idea of roof vaulting from the top Three Headed Dragon. It’s hard to remember sometimes that not everyone has a built in set wings to catch you should things go downward! But like Gramps said when he was teaching me to fly, “Sometimes you’ve gotta start high to get’em goin!”, before he threw me out of that oaktree.
So Jeremy-a young blonde human guy probably only couple years younger that me judging from his few straggly chin hairs-had very kindly and ‘willing' stepped up to demonstrate a move I like to call, ‘The Bee-line.’ A simple run along a roof ridge, building up at full speed focusing on the rooftop ahead before jumping just the very second, throwing your arms back for full flight..’ness…and then landing oh so buggin’ gracefully on the other roof. A pretty basic move…except Jeremy forgot the most important part… ‘to jump’. Luckily I managed to catch him just at the last flittin’ second before he became a Jeremy sized pancake on the cobbled street below.
Well after helping him into the bar to grab a drink to steady his nerves and hopefully not lose his breakfast, who’ve thought I’d run into a group of my friends, Kavel, Derthhad and Lolli too, all seemingly here to meet with old beardy moon bow boy himself, Gerthhad. As soon as he asked if I wanted to join them on a trip back to the moon that was it. Schools out for today!-Beets is going back to the moon!!!…and considering Jeremy had just lost his buggin’ breakfast all over the floor of the Three headed Dragon… it was probably for the best.
Wow travelling to the Moon was even easier than the first time! Gert managed to open a portal with his ‘call’…what a strange name-moonbow, now that’s more like it.
Before going through the moon portal though, Gert suddenly said a strange ‘friend’..wait no…‘nemisis’ called Mister had turned up for a quick chat-who must be really buggin’fast as none of us spotted him-and challenged him to retrieving some kinda ‘box’. Personally I’d have offered to ‘box’ em’ around the ears, but Gert said if that box was important to Mis it was probably something we wanted to get our hands on, even if only to keep it away from him.
After catching up with our moon buddies Cop-Copernicus-Big moonpit fiend guy-and the lovely water lass Lannel over a quick tea break-man how I’ve craved these space cookies-we began our search of the moon base for the mysterious box.
Well the only boxes we found at first were some very large stone ones crammed full of all kinds of strange stuff. I couldn’t resist a rummage and ended up pulling out a very shiny miniature silver clock-a pocket watch Dert told me-which even seemed to know we were on the moon too from a little sign inside it. The other’s box dives weren’t nearly cool resulting though, and in Kavel’s case outright stunk, peeehuwww!-So glad I don’t buggin’wear socks!
After continuing upstairs we ran into an old saytr Jaccobi-with a metal peg leg..um..hoof-who got in a big buzz talking with Gerth about the research he was doing on this ‘Staircase’ thing. He said he was working out how to be in multiple places at once and filled us on a lot of info on other ‘Staircase’ travellers like Gert. He said how some of the oldest ones hang around ‘The Staircase’ so long they can even become part of it-Spending the rest of eternity having people walk all over me?-no flittin’ thank you!-He go very excited though when Gert said his bow had ‘powered up’ some how and said we should speak to the big cheese-Heh, moon…cheese-Mrs Andromeda.
It was a buggin’intense chat with the mysterious-and I’ll admit it, dark beauty that was-Mister’s sister, Andromeda. She said a lot of stuff I didn’t fully understand about ‘The Staircase’ and how she and her brother were like physically part of ‘The Staircase’ but not-maybe like those last steps everyone forgets about-and said about how she could possibly help Gert channel his ‘moonbow’ powers into freeing his long lost pal Henri.
Most people don’t do something for nothin’though so I asked her outright what kinda deal she wanted from Gert. Turns out she wanted Gert to sign up with her like-kinda like the whole god and follower deal Marto and some of my other pals are into, and in exchange she would lend him her powers to travel ‘The Staircase’ safely and avoid her brother. She even sealed the deal by giving Gert… the ‘undead’ remains of her father in a box…Wow…some of these staircase folk really have some serious flittin’ family issues.
She told Gert the next place he needed to head to was a planer library, where he’d find the knowledge needed to shackle box’dad to him. She also said I could keep the watch and let the others have another stone box rummage-outta which Lolli some how pulled a buggin’bee hive full of VERY angry bees. I flittin’flipped out, and grabbed it to hurl it outta the door, when it suddenly went super small and then suddenly silent and still at a finger wave from Androm. She said with my help we had just created the ‘moon’s’ first, Time Bee-Bomb, a potentially lethal weapon in the hands-or should that be paws- of my sweet harengon pal.
On the way out we got to get a look at the mysterious Mister, who while similar looking to his sister, in comparison, seemed a complete goofball. He spent a good while just standing strangely away from us angrily waiving his hands in the air and having a silent tantrum like a really bad mime, before finally disappearing away in a puff of silver smoke.
He didn’t seem like much to worry about, and despite Andromea’s warnings of potential greater dangers in store, I reminded old Gert as we made our way homeward, “Wherever I go, I don’t need stairs!”
