Quickly!” Tom looked at his uncle as the men rushed to obey. “The rest of you bring spades to the barn – if we can’t quench the fire we’ll bury it. “Please help! Our barn is on fire!” “Men! Bring your pails to the river now!” Tom’s uncle roared to the crowd. I’ll go.” Suddenly a small boy, smeared in soot, pushed through the crowd. “Send a boy on such a mission? Ha!” “The king would laugh at us for sending a child.” Tom’s uncle spoke quietly. “I’ll go to the palace.” The villagers laughed. ![]() One of us must go to the king and request his aid.” Tom stepped forward. “I don’t believe in curses,” said Tom’s uncle firmly. ![]() Then King Hugo clapped an arm around Tom’s shoulder, and Aduro walked between Elenna and Silver.

Had the giant somehow been pulled back into Gorgonia? “Arcta has returned to his rightful place – in the mountains,” said King Hugo, sensing his worry. “rubble of his own castle.” Tom felt a wave of relief surge through him as he embraced Aduro, but this was quickly replaced with panic. And now the people who sent the Robobeast are coming this way.

She looked up, her eyes narrowing to angry slits as she spotted them, and her hand went to the hilt of her coral sword. Max and Lia made straight for the Astarian leader. She was pointing, and calling orders to the villagers, who were collecting scattered stones and piling them into carts. Max spotted the green-gowned form of Elra in the clearing at the heart of the village. Several of the dome-shaped buildings were little more than piles of rubble, and chunks of masonry littered the fields. From above, the damage caused by Repta was all too clear. They passed over the bright kelp and the cannon-blasted seagrass, then dived towards the village.
