Chapter Four: Knocking on the Castle's Door

The mysterious statue spoke: "Hello, Thef."
Thef: "How do you know my name? Who are you?"
The statue: "I am the Statue of Fulfillment.
You've entered the Castle of Desires, and now your desires shall be fulfilled."

Thef: "Who were those faceless guards? Why didn't they kill me?"
The statue: "You had no intention to exploit the Castle, so the Castle held no guard against you."

Thef: "Well, I have only one desire now..."
The statue: "And it is fulfilled."

And miraculously, a giant aircraft appeared before Thef's feet!

built by Charlie

The statue: "Your desire of escape will be fulfilled with this aircraft. It can take you to any place you could possibly want to go."

Thef: "Whoa..."
He dropped his weapons, and took flight.

Thef: "Hahahahaha! Huhoo!"

As the aircraft is cruising at ultrasonic speed, a man hopped onto its nose.
Thef: "!?" How is that possible?

The spaceman said: "Please slow down your aircraft. I have a favor to ask."
Thef accelerated to near light speed, but the spaceman still stood there casually.
"Or I could destroy your aircraft."

Thef landed immediately. "What do you want?"
"I want no harm. I just want to know where I can find the Castle of Desires."

"Oh! Well, that way."
"May the force be with you!" The spaceman flew away before his voice could reach Thef's ears.
"What's with all these people?" Thef scratched his head.

A minute later,

two spacemen arrived at the Castle of Desires.
This time, the guards were already waiting in high alert. They knew these spacemen were unlike any other enemies they have faced.

The spacemen said: "Please grant us entry to your Castle. We do not wish to harm you."

The guards didn't lower their weapons.

With a flash, the entire Castle was lit by countless torches!

The Left and Right Guards stepped up cautiously to the spacemen.

For the first time in history, they spoke, in a hoarse voice: "Leave at once."

"Well, if you have the power to drive us out, you would already be doing so, wouldn't you?" The spacemen smiled.

The Left Guard launched his attack, but the spaceman was so much faster.

That's a speed foreign to the entire world!

And sure enough, the spacemen are foreigners from another world.

They revealed their real look.

"Jajajajaja!"

What hideous two-legged-scorpion-looking aliens!

"Jajajajaja... it's too late now, foolish guards!"

The three guards simultaneously attacked the two intruders,

but the aliens disappeared before Guards' swords could even point to them!

"Jajajaja! What are you pointing at?"

"We are here!"

The tail of the thin alien almost stabbed the Middle Guard in the throat,

but the other Guards disrupted the alien's attack.

"Aw... I'm hit..." the fat alien lied flat.

"... or not!"

"Jajajajaja!"

The Guard took a direct hit and dropped his helmet and weapons.

"This is going to get interesting..."

the Guards said in a chilling voice.

The weapons and helmet were not for attack nor defense, they were in place as training tools to slow down the Guards!
Facing these aliens, the Guards now dropped their burdens and prepared for a real fight.
