Twobble Kingdom (Part 2)
‘- and you are now currently sat on the surface of Twobble Kingdom,’ he explained. Jack Kingford had thousands of questions rushing round his head like a pack of wolves chasing a rabbit. The first one that came out however was, “How do you know my name?” “Your dear cat here has been telling me many things about you,” Chipunpip replied. Holding out his fluffy right arm, none other than the family cat jumped onto his arm. “An intelligent being indeed,” he said. And as if by magic, the cat cleared its through and explained “A Draco-Cattus has other things in life to do than to be a cat purring all day long.” “What on Earth- is a Draco-Cattus?” “Two things. First, we aren’t on Earth. Second, a Draco-Cattus is this-” on that final word, the cat he used to see transformed into a humongous, green-eyed, black skinned, terrifying dragon. It had teeth-white horns the size of a small desk and a very lengthy tail with smaller horns of its own! But suddenly, lurid blue fumes surrounded the dragon, circling it almost. They suddenly shrank down to the size of a cat, but instead of seeing the cat again, an olive-green, slender lizard appeared with a snake-like tongue. It blinked, staring at him for a moment, before another puff of lurid fumes appeared, this time yellow. A small, beige cat identical to the one he new was now licking its left paw as if nothing had ever happened. His pale-pink tongue stopped mid lick as if it had seen something interesting. It then darted of to a nearby palm tree, then yelling at something. “Rather interesting those creatures, aren’t they?” Chipunpip inquired. Jack had completely forgotten he was even there. Umm, well they are rather fascinating, but what would happen if one turned against you? Wouldn’t they be rather-” he asked lost for words. “Wouldn’t they be really dangerous?” “Oh Jack, you’re very inquisitive, just like your uncle…” Chipunpip said admiring Jack. “M-my Uncle?” Jack Kingford said very shocked to here it. “But my Uncle’s d-dead, he died about 13 years ago, a few months before I was born…” “Your Uncle was also one of few who has travelled to our world. A true legend he was; courageous, a great leader and a huge risk taker. He had many skills others considered unnatural. He could tame snakes, speak to many animals like fish, eagles, even kangaroos and he could actually control the wind, believe it or not. The loss of him was not only heart-breaking, but also a huge blow for us, our civilisation died out without him…” ©E. Ferrier stories 2020
