Sunday Whirl 78: The New Recruit

C1  The New Recruit

Morganna, the younger princess of the now rescued kingdom
knew she would not be the one to inherit the throne.
But she could offer an umbrella of protection to Jimmy,
who had once been a slave to the evil wizard - that no one else could.

Together with Cookie, the two made excuses to eventually call off the search of
Here-boy the wizard’s assistant - those who might have recognized the mute - once
a scrawny silent child, would be unable to tell that their Jimmy, now a talkative lad was
the same boy - transformed he was, cleaned, fed, and almost cheerful in the kitchens

Willing to help, to stand by one pot for hours as food guard - The young
lad even joined in childhood games with Cookie’s grandchildren, the shifts
in his demeanor and attitude proved to be a wonderful disguise as
Sebastian, Morganna’s beau and even the guards were quite fooled.

~~~~~~~

Jimmy secretly vowed his life to protecting his rescuers. He would not let the
thunder of storms frighten him, from the small window of his room with the help
of lightning he would use every sense of his being to determine if evil was
returning to the surrounding fields of his adopted home.

At least for the time being all seemed to fall into a deeper calm of sleep.
For at night the mists of the sacred mountain would gently creep over those
who had suffered while evil had cruelly bound and twisted the magic spells
that were finally released by the virgin voice of the one who once was ‘Here-boy’.
