第24話: ApricotはHoodmanに降伏し、Frogは箱の中に隠れてprincessをScorpionから守る

24

Apricot surrendered herself to Hoodman. Frog remains hidden inside the Scorpion until they reach Fountainland. Then he hides in the boxes which are a present for His Majesty from Hoodman. Damia takes control of the princess and brings her to His Majesty. He tells her that he is a monster who lives by eating up planets. This planet he started to dry out first because he hated water. Princess cried and said that tomorrow she will bring the water back, but His Majesty turned into a horrible creature, his true shape - a Scorpion. He then attacked her, but Frog managed to reach the throne room and save her. They both get lost in the labyrinth beneath the castle. Hoodman and his aides saw the real face of His Majesty too, which made them run away. Damia is confused and doubtful - she is not sure if she can trust His Majesty any more. She meets with Frog and Apricot, but Hoodman gets in her way and she loses them. Scorpion tells her that they will get killed in the depths anyhow. Tutty and Otter reach the Fountain land. Less than twenty hours remain to the total eclipse of the sun. Apricot and Frog are surrounded by the black servants of Scorpion. (Source: Wikipedia)
