Yay… The hols are almost ending, so that means that the next update after school reopens will take maybe around two months, if I am lucky…
"Shit," Fo said under her breath, "I think that's Ma Mellus."
~*~
Mother Mellus recoiled in revulsion at the word she had just heard. Matthias did not speak like that, Abbot Mordalfus did not speak like that, the dibbuns did not speak like that, and even (shock horror) Ambrose Spike did not utter even as much as a syllable worth of the above mentioned word.
She turned back and gave the approaching Abbot a fixed stare. "When Sam said they were uncouth earlier on, I never expected them to be this uncouth."
Abbot Mordalfus only smiled.

Miss Ng's neck was craned upwards as she tried to find out how tall the creature obstructing the gateway was. Her neck hurt.
And the storm clouds, or rather, storm cloud cleared. Inez winced as the sunlight was restored to the vicinity, for the contrast in brightness was amazing, almost like day and night. Mrs. Tong muttered something about the speed of light, and Mdm. Azizah tried to calculate which part of the world this particular holiday destination was in.
Abbot Mordalfus beckoned for Mellus to back from the doorway, and quickly stepped forward. Fixing the twenty-nine humans with a cheery grin, he welcomed them in.
And the fun officially starts from now.

Half an hour later, the party managed to make their way into the Abbot's study. The journey up almost made the Quest to destroy the One Ring seem like a trip down Candyland.
Some… events included Owl nearly getting run over by a pack of Dibbuns, Zhao Lao Shi nearly getting run over by the great cheese, Shuwen and Diana engaging in a swearing contest with Mariel, and so on.
Volunteers to join the Fellowship, anyone?
Short chappie, I know, but it's dinner time now… Sigh.
