Once helping then asking for help
As Adam walked off, Orko went in the direction of Duncan's lab. Adam was right, Man-at-Arms was over some paper work about the machine still in the hall from last night. He had taken a few notes so that he could hopefully do more in his lab but what he really needed was to be able to have it in the lab with him for further examination.
Man-at-Arms hadn't heard Orko come in, but who could, Orko floated in mid-air. He doesn't make a sound. Plus if anyone had walked in, actually walked in then he still probably wouldn't have noticed as he was too engrossed in the papers he was reading.
"Man-at-Arms?" Orko said. Duncan instantly recognized the voice calling him.
"What is it Orko?" Duncan said this with a small sigh of a sort of 'oh no' in it.
"I need you help." enquired Orko. That was strange, thought Duncan, normally Orko was asking if there was anything that he could help with, but this time it was him requesting for help.
"With what?" Man-at Arms actually lifted his head at this but didn't turn around to address Orko.
"I need help in building something, I wouldn't be able to complete myself, and with your help I would be able to complete it before time runs out." Duncan turned around when this was said by Orko.
"Well it depends on what need to be built, but what do you mean by time running out?" Duncan said a questioning look on his face. Orko was starting to realize why he had this urge to build what ever it was that he needed to build.
"Well if I don't build it in time along with one or two other things then…well…" Orko paused and pulled his scarf as if it was stifling him, "well…I will die unless we build this." Orko inscrolled the piece of paper to let Duncan's surprised face see it. Duncan's face was even more surprised by what he saw then and there. On the piece of paper there was a very detailed drawing of something he didn't quite know of, actually he had no idea of what it might be.
"What is it? Why will you die?" Duncan probably had a lot more questions than that but just the ones that absolutely had to be answered came out.
"I don't know I just know that it has to be built, that's all." On the piece of paper there was some kind of circle with a lot of symbols on it. Duncan couldn't identify the symbols. Next to the circle was a small stand, this had the same symbols on it as the bigger circle.
"What does it do?" the question had to be asked.
"I don't know. I know that you don't have much information on this but….please this has to be made!" Duncan couldn't see the trollans face but he could have sweared that the trollans face would be looking very urgent if it was able to be seen.
"I will have to ask the King if he will allow it." said Duncan looking more closely at the design.
"Ok, but please try and persuade him." begged Orko.
"I think it would be best if you came with me maybe then you could explain what all this is about."
Orko and Man-at-Arms rushed off to see the king about this urgent matter.
