Welcome back, gang. For Autolycus I ended up mentally casting Adam West. You ever see the show Laverne and Shirley? I saw an episode at my grandparents one time that had Adam West in it where he played an acrobat who started dating Laverne because she looked liked his deceased partner. That wasn't funny and that show was a comedy. You know what that was? That was dramatic and sad. As for the new character Terag I ended up mentally casting Tim Curry. Also, I've been considering bring Balor into this story but leaving Gard out of it in order to further develop Balor as a character.
More Than What Appears On The Surface
Lion-O and Pumyra walked towards a tomb. There was one evabon near the tomb's entrance. With muddy brown skin and about thirty-eight years of age he was missing his left hand completely. He was missing his right eye, as identified by the eye patch. His left eye was a dull red his right eye had been the same color. As Lion-O and Pumyra neared the entrance, this evabon starred at the two.
"No entrance for the two of you." Lion-O and Pumyra looked at the mud colored evabon. He couldn't possibly stop them from entering. He had one hand and one eye. "Don't think me unable to defend the entrance. I gave up my eye for knowledge and my hand for my life. I can still fight, better than even Autolycus himself!" Lion-O and Pumyra looked over at a large sword near the evabon. If he could lift that with one hand then they believed what he said. "Name's Terag and you two must be Lion-O and Pumyra."
"How do you know who we are?" Pumyra starred at the cover for where Terag's left hand would have been.
"I've met evabon who have met you." Terag stood up and walked towards the two cats. "But what you're wondering is why does this valley have only four tombs in it."
"I'm not going to question how you guess so well." Lion-O's comment made Terag laugh. He lifted his left arm and pointed at the tomb he guarded the entrance to.
"Look at Leir's tomb." Terag then pointed at another tomb. "Look at Marcius' Tomb." Terag pointed at another tomb. "Look at Nomit's Tomb." Terag then pointed at the tomb that had been stolen from. "Look at Saec's tomb." He then put his arm down. "Those are only the tombs on the surface. There is countless other tombs down below."
"Have you seen them?" Terag shook his head. Pumyra raised an eyebrow. "Then how do you know they are down there?" Terag pointed at the entrance of Leir's tomb. There was a twisted smile on his face as he pointed into the tomb.
"Not in Leir's but in the others there are entrances to the vast labyrinth down below." Lion-O and Pumyra starred into the darkness of the tomb. If what Terag said was true then he must have guarded the other tombs also. "We keep finding the bodies of thieves down there that never found their way out. You can get lost in that vast network of tombs." Terag laughed happily. Lion-O and Pumyra were both wondering the same thing. Had he lost his mind? "We never get lost down there. We guard the tombs so we know how to get in and out of there."
"So thieves have never come out from there alive?" Terag shook his head. Lion-O starred at Terag, wondering if this evabon found pleasure in hearing about the dead thieves that were found. Lion-O and Pumyra started to walk away once Terag's cruel pleasure started to come to the surface. As they walked away, Terag gave a shout to them.
"If either of you meet young Montmarte, don't give him the chance to attack. He attacks any non-evabon he sees on sight. Wouldn't want the two of you to end up victims of his hatred. I might have my quirks but he's downright bloodthirsty!" Lion-O looked back at Terag at this bit of information. Montmarte sounded like he could have been a descendant of Procyon, or more likely Thomeheb. He only hoped the other ThunderCats had been warned about Montmarte. The adults could probably defend themselves but the kittens? Lion-O could only wonder what Montmarte's reason for being so bloodthirsty could be.
