Chapter 11: manfedi and the jewel
3rd person's pov
Kowalski stared at the figure with a shocked expression. "Why do you look so shocked Kowalski?" the figure asked. "Manfedi I just can't believe it's you!" Kowalski exclaimed happily. "Yeah I guess it has been a long while…" manfedi admitted. "What brings you to New York manfedi?" Kowalski asked him. "Well I'm here a two-hunt mission" manfedi said as he led Kowalski out of the woods.
"What kind of mission?" Kowalski asked curiously. "I am searching for both skipper and Johnson" manfedi said with distaste. Kowalski shivered at the mention of Johnson's name. "You alright kid, you seem tense?" manfedi said as he wrapped a flipper around Kowalski. "I'm not a kid anymore…" Kowalski said. "Obviously but when I saw you three minutes ago you were in the body of an 8 year old" manfedi said as he laughed. "Oh yeah how did you fix me anyway?" Kowalski asked.
"Well I used my age-changer device… I really was going to test it on an adult dear, but hey a kid's better" manfedi said with a wide smile. Kowalski smiled too… manfedi unlike Johnson was someone Kowalski had turned to in the past. Manfedi already knew what Johnson had done to Kowalski since he had told him one night. The night happened to be Kowalski's 18th birthday, and well obviously he told him because he was now old enough to get away from Johnson…
"Let me guess its Johnson, he's here isn't he?" manfedi asked with a frown now plastered on his face. "Yes…" Kowalski said while looking at his feet. Manfedi suddenly stopped him while they were walking. "Listen Dillon I need you to pay full attention to me okay?" manfedi started out like he was talking to a suicidal person. "Okay" Kowalski said as he looked him in the eyes.
"You must not let Johnson get into your mind; he's trying to use you for his plan" manfedi said. "What plan?" Kowalski asked him curiously. Manfedi sighed, and looked at him again. "A long time ago there was a legend…" manfedi began.
"There was two adventurers who were the best in the business, and well they thought too highly of themselves. Soon they became greedy, and always needed more, and well there was a rumor about a golden jewel that would grant eternal life; just like the fountain of life… except this one had a magical curse on it as well. The curse was that if the adventures journeyed there without a smart penguin who was down on himself and life, then the jewel would suck the life from the adventures… but if they did then the jewel would always been worn by that penguin, and anyone who touched the miserable penguin would be granted eternal life. I believe Johnson wants this jewel for immortal life…" manfedi finished explaining.
"What h-happens to the miserable penguin?" Kowalski asked suddenly very scared. "the miserable penguin will be nothing but a hollow shell of him former self… thus he will have no emotions so no words will ever break the bond… well except for the most powerful thing of all" manfedi said as he thought about it.
"What powerful thing?" Kowalski asked curiously. "True love's kiss" manfedi said with a gleam in his eyes. "I'm sunk if it happens to me then…" Kowalski said as he felt down again. "Don't feel down that's the jewel's ticket!" manfedi said. Kowalski tried his best to fake being happy, but it was going to be hard…
H: that's it for now… yeah I put a stupid legend in here! Go ahead and laugh at how stupid it is… I needed some way skipper would fit in here…
