Timmy's Distant Memory
Back with the villains, Ogron and his minions were sitting around a campfire as Chatta brought Ogron his supper.
"Dragon a la king." Chatta said setting the place in front of Ogron.
Ogron then took a bite of his meat.
"It's such a relief from... chicken." Chatta said fearfully.
"I can't believe I'm reduced to chasing a little girl... a blind man... and a pigeon... find them all and report back to me... did you hear me?" Ogron said to Duman who was still in human form.
"Sorry Master... my moutth was full." Duman said to Ogron.
"Typical... of all the evil minions in the world," Ogron complained. "I had to find one with table manners...and no mistakes or I'll make space on the spit for you... Hey Useless! Rendezvous with the wagons and tell them to press on, as soon as I have the Staff of the Eternal Circle... we'll join them, and the kingdom will be mine."
Sir Ogron just then groaned in irritation.
Now Tecna, Timmy, Sky, and Brandon were continuing on their long journey straight to Magix.
"I'm starving," Brandon said. "all these heroics worked up my appetite, hey, hey, something smells delicious. "
"Yes, I could whip up a little something." Sky said to Brandon.
"Well, this is where we stop." Timmy said with a worn out sounding sigh.
"Stop? But what about the Staff of the Eternal Circle?" Tecna asked.
"No one travels through the Black Mud Swamp after dark." Timmy told Tecna logically.
"Well my father, Sir Helia would have." Tecna told Timmy stubbornly.
"Come on, baby, light my fire." Brandon said.
"You know, there is nothing more pathetic than a flame retarded dragon." Sky sighed.
Sky began rubbing some sticks together preparing to build a fire.
"Hey Sky, you blew fire," Brandon said. "no, no... my mistake... just hot air."
The sticks for their campfire ran off.
Timmy had to confess something to Tecna.
"Tecna, I must tell you... I knew your father." Timmy said seriously.
"You did?" Tecna asked Timmy feeling amazed by his words.
"I used to live in Magix... I was a stable boy, but I dreamt of becoming a knight... One evening, there was a fire... I rushed to save the horses, but... well... I was hurt... At first, all I could see were shapes, then shadows... Finally... my world went black... after I lost my sight... your father was the only one who still believed in me... He taught me that a knight's strength comes from his heart... and his loyalty to the Oath of Magix..." Timmy began.
Just then, Timmy had a flashback to his days with Sir Helia in Magix.
"United we stand..." Sir Helia began.
"Now and forever." Timmy & Sir Helia said in unison.
Timmy just then came out of his memory just in time to finish his story.
"Any hope I had of becoming a knight... died with him." Timmy concluded.
"I felt that way too, but I know he would never want me to give up... Oh he wouldn't want you to give up either... you're as good as any knight in Magix." Tecna said comfortingly to Timmy.
"You really think so?" Timmy asked Tecna.
Tecna merely looked at Timmy as Sky & Brandon entered chasing the stick from their campfire.
"Hey stick, come here stick... come back stick." Brandon called out.
Chicko was laughing in the dragons' faces until Brandon finally snapped.
"I've got three words for you Birdie," Brandon said. "dinner is served."
Brandon simply put Chicko in his mouth but Chicko excaped from outside Sky's mouth.
"And how did you find Chicko?" Tecna asked Timmy.
"I didn't... when I came to live here... Chicko found me... she just appeared one day... as if destiny were watching over me... she taught me all the secrets of the swamp... what could hurt you... and what can heal you...with Chicko as my eyes, I can survive anything... look I'll show you." Timmy explained to Tecna.
Tecna watched intently as Timmy continued his explanation.
"I take my position... face my fears... and hold my ground... until the last posible moment... waiting for Chicko's signal... to evade." Timmy explained.
Chicko gave her signal as Timmy then attacked something in the swamp with his walking stick.
"See, simple, now you try." Timmy told Tecna gently.
"All right... no problem." Tecna said to Timmy.
Timmy held Tecna by the hands as she learned how he defended himself so well.
"Take position." Timmy told Tecna.
"Take position." Tecna repeated Timmy.
"Face your fears." Timmy said gently to Tecna.
"Face my fears." Tecna repeated after Timmy.
"And hold your ground until the last possible moment." Timmy advised Tecna in a whisper.
The Quietus Carnivorous plant that Tecna saw Timmy practicing with only moments ago fired off an attack at Tecna.
Chicko signaled but the signal was way too late for Tecna.
For Tecna was now hit in the stomach by the attack.
"You moved too soon." Timmy told Tecna.
Sky & Brandon came right up to Tecna & Timmy.
"Behind your back... coming through." Sky said.
"Nice try buddy." Brandon said to Timmy.
"I say Tecna," Sky asked. "do you have a light?"
Back at the villains' camp, Ogron was plotting his revenge.
"When I get my hands on that girl... " Ogron said angrily picking up some flaming coals.
