The Night the Scorpion Attacked

by Orlando The Magnificent

Dear Dad,
 
You'll never guess where I ended up again.
The Maycomb Pirates have taken me hostage. WHY? I have no idea! I even gave them the stupid lamp!
 
Let me start from the beginning:
 
Zashi, my strong lizard friend, wanted to go see the Flying Flynns, which did not flu so well with me. He doesn't know anything about my history with them so I had to improvise and transform while we walked there. He didn't think anything of it but I'm sure he had suspicions; he's not that easy to trick, I'll tell you.
So, we went over to the Flynn's and Zashi got us chased. He didn't realize just how difficult it is to deal with them so he was pretty insistent on visiting the brig. I wonder who he was looking for...
 
Regardless, we had to duck dive and doge our way around Del'Orta since Mr. Lizard Man got us followed. Along the way we met these terrible people who ran a circus full of slaves. We watched their show and it was only ok, the showmanship was real tragic.
 
THEN THE CRAZIEST THING HAPPENED
 
The scorpion, that they were using for gladiator-style battling, went ROGUE and started attacking the audience! I leapt into action, like you know I would, to save the day, and the show!
 
The battle was meritorious. It was 1 of the greatest battles I've ever fought! You should've seen me dad! I was jumping, slicing, and all-around carving this scorpion! But it was no good--the beastmasters were cruel and attacked us too! After a bloody battle, we escaped the tent with our lives, only to run into my favorite crew of pirates. Never ends, does it?
 
Nonetheless, I'm lucky to have escaped with my life! That's what you get for being flexible huh?
 
Well let's see how I can get out of trouble this time. You know as well as I know, there's always another trick up my sleeve ;)
 
Gracefully Yours,
 
Orren
