Knights Against the Night Part 44



Dear Beano and Mars
There was a monster under the bed.
We drove it off.
My friend, his light went out.
It was so close. He survived until the dawn. He's stubborn. You didn't warn me it was painful, it looked like he caught fire for a moment there.
I don't know what to do. He needs time to recover, but he won't stand back and let me take care of things.
There was another thing.
The monster? It looked familiar. I know they are shapeshifters, but are they mind readers as well?

You're right, he needs time to recover, he's not going to get it on active duty, and it sounds like the attacks are too frequent.
I don't know what to suggest. He's skating too close to the edge. You did well to get him into the Sunlight, it can't have been easy, at that point very little can bring them back.
Can you tie him up and ship him North?
Beano

Bolt
Whatever mad plan Beano has suggested ignore it. We're making escape plans. Hold steady for a few days.
Ignore the monster, like you said, it's a shapeshifter, it will look like whatever will disturb you most.
Even if it is what you think it is, it has been in the dark too long to retieve it.
Mars
