Richard O'Brien owns RHPS

Titan sat in the small dungeon, rolling the rocks, which he had found in the corner, around the floor. The room was dark and gloomy, with a stench so vile that Titan only dared to take a breath when it got to the point where he felt his lungs were going to burst. He had no idea how long he had been down there. A day or two, maybe? Ella was continuously on his mind. He had no idea where she was or what was happening to her. He remembered Pisces striking her against the face and felt sick.

Suddenly, there was a creak and a bright light; the door had been opened. Titan jumped up straight away.

"About time!" He growled.

"Silence, you are to follow me to hear your sentence" A curt gentle mans voice replied.

Titan stumbled over to where he believed the door to be. A short man with a square face stood waiting for him. He looked grumpy and unpleasant. He followed him through endless passages, all gloomy and mysterious. Finally they stopped outside a large black door. The man knocked and went inside, Titan following.

Inside the room was a long table made from stone. The strange thing was that there was only one occupant at the gigantic table. A man was sat at the very end, and, on close inspection, Titan saw he was sat upon many books to make up for his short height.

"Titan Vitus?" He asked in a squaeky voice.

Titan bit the inside of his cheek, how was he supposed to take this midget seriously? He coughed to disguise a bought of laughter.

"Yes, that is I" He replied.

"Good good. Caratacus, you may go now" The tiny man waved his stumpy hand.

The guard who had brought Titan from the dungeon bowed and left. Surprisingly, the small man smiled at Titan, like an uncle would smile at his favourite nephew.

"Please, take a seat" He offered.

"Please, sir, I just want to see my lover again" Titan begged.

"Now, now, just take a seat and we shall see about that" The man shuffled a few papers in front of him, "I'm Felius Spectum" He announced after Titan had finally took a seat on a spindly wooden chair.

"Good to know" Titan grumbled. He knew he shouldn't of been rude to someone who was apparently showing him kindness, but it was only his nature.

"I understand you tried to break into a house, upon your arival on an uncharted space ship, plus bringing an Earthling with you?" Felius announced.

"It was my house, the ship was charted and Ella is only halfEarthling. Her father was the Prince of Transexual" Titan explained.

"Ah yes, that was mentioned. Actually, we should be thanking you for bringing her along. We've been struggling to find an heir to the throne, the Queen is not expected to live much longer. She's much older than you'd think, you know" Felius chatted merrily.

"Can we just get to my sentence?" Titan asked.

"Mmmhmm" Felius picked up one of the pieces of paper, "Its been decided that no harsh punishment is required, and that you are to be sent back to Earth" He said in a much grander voice.

"No, I can't leave Ella" Titan shook his head.

"You have no choice, I'm sorry" Felius smiled a little.

"At least let me go and speak to her before I go" Titan pleaded.

"That could possibly be arranged..." Felius replied.

"Thank you" Titan whispered.
