Mind of a Child -- Chapter 15
Another chapter for you. Enjoy. :) Chapter 15 The group arrived at the white pyramid and was welcomed by its massive doors. While the others took it all in, Lion-O led them to the main chamber. “Ah Lord Lion-O, it has been awhile. What causes you to grace me with your presence?” Mumm-Rana spoke from her seat near her sarcophagus. “I’m afraid we’re in trouble and I don’t know how to fix it.” He said. “Well then you’ve come to the right place. What exactly is the problem?” She asked. The lion quickly explained and quickly proved his point when Panthro and Tygra started smacking each other around after the tiger said something derogatory about the panther’s mother; the two had been squabbling since the incident in the conference room. Unsure of how to use their massive fists they were slapping at each other but standing at almost arm’s length. Ben-Gali was laughing so hard he was rolling on the ground. Lea tried to break it up but Tygra hit her. This enraged the panther even more and quickly before Panthro could get his hands on the orange tiger, Lion-O and Mumm-Rana stepped in. “I see what you mean; children in adult bodies. Seems like you already solved that problem.” The sorceress gave a wink. “Yes well, they don’t have twenty years to grow out of it.” Lion-O’s joked. “Indeed. Let me see if I can help. No doubt Mumm-Ra is behind this.” She nodded. “Does Snarf love Candy Fruit?” The lion joked again. A slight chuckle came from Mumm-Rana and she turned to her sarcophagus and pulled out a book. “A new accessory?” The Lord of the ThunderCats wondered. “Only in case of an emergency. Now then a spell reversal may work although I’m not sure if the results will be permanent, it depends on how Mumm-Ra cast his spell. Let’s see.” She explained. Flipping through the book, she found what she was looking for. “What once was old is now young, wisdom lost for an age to come. Set right what was wronged, give knowledge back to those who seek it.” The spell chanted Lion-O looked to his friends. They all looked dazed and confused. “How do we know it worked?” He wondered. “Ask them something only the adults would know.” Mumm-Rana suggested. “Who is next in line for Lord of the ThunderCats?” Silence filled the room as they shook their heads. “I’m guessing that didn’t work. The answer should have been Leo.” Lion-O turned to the sorceress. “Hmmm, then perhaps the spell is stronger than I thought. This could take awhile.” Mumm-Rana shook her head. “How long are we talking?” The lion asked. “At least an hour or so. I have to see if there is a special reversal I need to use of if the only other option is…” she trailed off. “What is the only other option?” Lion-O didn’t like her tone. “Let’s just say it would involve a journey to another pyramid, finding a book, and using that to reverse everything.” She sped her words up. “That’s the other option?” He gave her a look. “I’m afraid so. But hopefully I can find something in my book.” Mumm-Rana tried to sound hopeful. “Let’s hope so for all our sakes.” Lion-O swallowed hard. The mission she spoke of would be dangerous and he’d have to go it alone. He wasn’t about to put the rest in danger. To Be Continued…
