"How come thy doesn't get a fair banquet in honor of a memorial day," he said, "Thee guards will not observe my orders. They sit around and I have to come into the conversation."
Usually Terra would say, "Well they obviously are a bunch of idiots."
Usually Peter would reply, "'Tis what the maiden said and proclaimed!"
They passed laws and enforced rules. One morning, an old hag was being carried by the guards through the castle. They passed the Royal Chamber.
"Stop," Peter declared, "what penalty does thy lady have against us and our Royal way?"
The guard answered, "She has planned a plot to murder you. She said to be planning the murder for Friday the 13! She is sentenced to be hung by the branch of Ole' Dead Yolk."
Peter thought it over. "Release her," Peter announced and commanded, "for today is Tuesday the 16th. She has not committed the crime, thus, being free from certain death."
The hag was left free. Later in the day, Terra and Jade were gossiping about boys. Peter and George practiced their sword fighting. George was getting better. All was calm, only it wasn't.
Off of the cliff, a battered man was climbing up. He looked like a murderer. He was the Stargaze. "So," he said, "the brave Peter Flashington has thought to have destroyed me. But, he is wrong. Now, he will pay!"
A guard saw the Stargaze return. He quickly warned the kings. "My kings," he said, the stargaze has returned!"
"Really?" Peter questioned.
"Yes, my king."
"He thinks he can destroy me!"
"Yes, my king."
"So thee wasn't on duty, guarding the castle?"
"Yes, my king."
"Go and work. I do not pay you to be the Royal Yes man!"
"Yes, my king!"
"Stop that! Go tell George, the king of the North and East!"
"Yes, my king!"
"Stop that!"
"Yes. I mean, okay, my king."
The Stargaze laughed a devilish laugh. He walked over the hill. Peter hid in the brush around the hill. Gond appeared. He charged. The Stargaze shoved into the brush right next to Peter. "You shouldn't be here," Gond said, "He's trying to siege the castle. If he sends up his signal, the stargazers will return." "Then," Peter said, "I must get to the castle." Peter hurried to the castle.
