Part 5
The Island Castle
There was a large crash. Rabk, still with his eyes closed, doesn't want to see the damage on Odysseus's ship, the ship he is on. He heard a small splash and then a cheer coming from the ship he was on. He opens one eye, and seeing no damage on his ship, opens his other eye and joins the cheering. He looks overboard and realizes that the tip of the ship he is on is pointed and bronze. Captain Hook's ship has a large, nasty hole in it. Suddenly, a face emerges from the waters. It was Hook, himself. Apparently, Hook was knocked overboard be the impact. Odysseus comes up behind Rabk, putting his hand on Rabk's shoulder and laughing. "That was quite a strike, wasn't it, Rabk?" "Very nice," said Rabk, chuckling with relief. Turning around, Odysseus commanded that the ship do the same. Soon, the ship was turned around and sailing out of the river mouth, into the ocean. Rabk looked at Odysseus' crew. It looked like the typical ancient Greek crew, with the exception of a large beetle. Odysseus claims that the beetle was once a human named Gregor. After a half hour, Rabk remembered why he never went on boats. The reason spilled off the side of the ship unceasingly. When an island finally came into view, Odysseus' crew was anxious to land and take a few steps away from Rabk. When Rabk felt a bit better, he went over to Odysseus and Rabk. "I've never seen this island before." "Let's explore it!" said the adventure eager Beowulf. Odysseus shrugged. "Maybe we can find some free food. I'm starving. Odysseus kept his crew together in one group to avoid dangerous situations. After a while of searching, Rabk felt much better, but was starving now. The group found a large castle in the middle of the island. It was a nice looking castle which look like an overgrown Italian villa, but with lots of windows. As the group went the front door, Beowulf looked up at the tall mansion. "It's funny," he said to Rabk. "I would have thought that you could see a castle this large from the beach." Unfortunately, nobody in the entire crew didn't sense the obvious foreshadowing in this statement and went straight to the front door. As they looked into the glass front door, they saw a nice-looking, young lady who was weaving. When she saw them, she immediately got up and ran up to get the door. "Oh, come on in, you poor, weary travellers! You need rest and a good meal to fill you!" As the lady opened the door for them, she said, "I am Circe, and this is my island." Once again, nobody remembered what book she came from or what she did in that book. She led the crew into a large dining room with a high roof and Doric pillars. Stacks of cheeseburgers, fries, and soda were piled on a large table in the center of the room. The hungry men immediately rushed for them and ate. Gregor even had a pile of moldy cheeseburgers on the floor. The men's hunger drove the men to eat everything. After all the food was gone, the men realized that they were pigs. Unfortunately, it was now that Rabk realized where Circe came from. The witch then came in, herding the men into a pen that the men had failed to notice. After she had gotten them inside of it, Circe gave off an evil cackle. Then she noticed a bewildered man who was lying on the floor, looking at his hands. The pigs all squealed from behind her. If pigs could speak, they would have been saying "Gregor!" When all the humans had been turned into pigs, the bug, Gregor, turned back into a human. Hearing his friends' screams, he jumped up and attacked Circe and tied her up with a rope that was in arms reach. After she was secured, he thought about how strange that the rope just happened to be just in the right spot. As Circe screamed "Release me!", Gregor found a handy-dandy potions cabinet. Unfortunately, the potion labels were all written in a different language. Circe cackles echoed through the room. You'll never understand the labels! I wrote them in a different language just in case something like this happened!" Gregor turned around, holding a bottle. "This language is Russian. My native language is Russian." Circe's smile fade, but in a slightly annoyed voice said "Well, if you use that potion on you're friends, you will turn back into a bug!" Odysseus's crew squeal with horror. Would Gregor sacrifice his humanness to save them? The did not know, but with all the horrified squeals and with Circe's renewed cackling, Gregor became angry and said "Stop cackling! It's very annoying. Then he dumped the bottle he was holding into the pig pen. Immediately, the pigs turned back into humans, Gregor turned into a bug, and Circe turned into a pig. The men carried Gregor back the ship on their shoulders, cheering. And never again did any of the men take Gregor for granted.
