Knights Against the Knight Part 61

Beano couldn't, wouldn't believe his eyes.

There was a kid down in the dark.

There was Bolt's kid down in the dark.

And Bolt. What was Bolt doing down here?

Chasing after that other Ted?

If he was, well their party contained two other Teds, both looking dark and lost.

Mars nudged him, "What are you watching?"

"Kid."

Beano pointed downwards, where the small group was approaching the exit.

Mars laughed silently. "Well aren't they the brave brunch."

"Four to one odds, don't look like they have much of a chance..." Beano said, letting the suggestion of action hang in the air.

Mars regarded him seriously, "You wanna?"

"Yeah, I wanna." Beano grinned, "Might have been nice..."

The suggestion hung in the air, and Mars drew out a bow, fitting dull arrows to it and taking aim.

"Say when."

Beano grinned, wrapping his tail around a convinent outcropping and handing off the ledge, ready to spring into action.

The Nightmares were restless.

They could sense something was wrong.

They could probably sense the fear in the air.

Beano wondered if they could feel the threat of violence that was about to fall down upon their heads.

Suddenly one of the Nightmares shifted his head towards the small questing party.

"Now!" Beano demanded, flinging himself off the edge, knowing one of the Nightmares would be gone before he even landed.
