Ivan's Foiled Adventures
Number 2: Into the Void
Ivan walked into the kitchen, interrupting the morning meal, lifted a single finger in the air and said, "What if the void isn't really a void!"
There was a collective sigh among the other three, as they prepared to hear another of their small friend's theories. Ivan glared at them fiercely, "No, think about it! What proof do we have that there's nothing at the bottom of the waterfalls? What if the world as we know it sits upon a high plateau?" He waited for a moment, allowing time for comments, before continuing,"I'll tell you what, we'd never know, unless-"
At this point he was interrupted by Isaac, "Ivan, let's say we actually decide to go check. How are we supposed to even get down there without the boat getting destroyed?"
Ivan grinned, "We use Piers' boat! Fly down, we'd never even have to touch the water at the bottom, just go down until we're sure there's nothing down there!"
Garet shook his head, "That's nice and all, Ivan, but how do you suggest we talk old Piers into letting us use his ship to try this, cause if you manage that, I'm all for it, but I don't think that's possible."
Ivan frowned, then looked up and glared at the ceiling. Jenna covered a grin at his expense behind a hand, and leaned forward to pat his hand, "Sorry, Ivan. It's just not meant to be," she told him sympathetically.
Ivan sighed forlornly, turned, and exited the kitchen without replying.
Author's Note:
I might actually write a story where Ivan tries to do these things...
