The Insane Knight Goes Sane

by Hobo Beard Bob

Ted the Off-White glared at Montelban through the cell bars. The Renown Thief of Dwarven Skulls shivered uncontrollably.

“I-I-I’m sorry s-s-sir! I didn’t m-m-mean to lose the dwarf’s head. It w-w-was an accident,” Montelban explained frantically.

“It is too late for apologies,” Ted the Off-White replied, waving a filthy hand towards the shivering man. Montelban started to scream, but it turned into a yelp as he transformed into a miniature poodle dog.

“Hey!” the Insane Knight yelled, “I wasn’t done talking to him…and I don’t speak dog!”

Ted the Off-White turned his head to look at the Insane Knight and their eyes locked. Memories flooded into the Insane Knight’s mind. He remembered this dirty old wizard and all of the terrible things he had done, including making him go insane. He realized that he wasn’t a knight – he was the most powerful wizard in the world. For the first time in ten years, his mind was clear.

The Knight waved a hand and the cell door vanished.

    I love that The Insane Knight is now the Totally Sane Wizard, but I seriously can’t stay here long. It’s almost midnight & I’ve got work in the morning.

    Cool. I dind’t feel lost at all even tho I havn’t read the previuos ficlets. You explain the thoughts and intentions of your characters well, and that makes it more enjoyable for the reader.

    I wasn’t done talking to him… and I don’t speak dog. Another brilliant line for the insane knight, who is now sane. That was a mouth-full.
