As Bob arrived back at the cart, he saw dozens of dead ducks littering the ground, and two seperate mounds, one of feathers, and the other of raw poultry. He knew there must be bones, but whoever killed these fowl must have buried them.
Zac was huffing in the middle of the dead duck zone, and sparks were flying over his head as he buried more and more bones. Indigo and Eklu were standing there staring at Zac, their jaws almost about to come unhinged from agape they were.
"Uh, did I miss something?" Bob asked Indigo and Eklu, staring at Zac as if he might at any moment go crazy, and start to streak or something.
"Yeah. Yeah, you did." Eklu replied, but that's all Bob could get out of him since he just started talking to himself as he huddled into a fetal position.
"Dude, I never knew Zac had it in him. I mean, first not only did he break the ropes I tied him up with, but then he floored me. Ducks just came up in swarms over the bank of the river, and it looked like Zac would become overwhelmed. Somehow or another, though, he took that iron dagger of his and just blazed through some eighty-odd ducks. He got pretty strong in the process, I bet he could take you out now, Bob. And once he buries all those bones, he will probably be able to enhance his strentgh, attack, and defensive skills by praying to the gods. And who knows what he could cook after making all that roasted duck..." Indigo explained to Bob.
"Holy cow! Who knew the little guy had it in him? I mean, I could see ME going on a mad killing spree, but Zac...actually, what am I saying? Somehow, I knew the loony would go on a killing spree!" said Bob. "Hey, I got all my ingredients for that cake. Chuck Mr. Duck-killer into the river so he can wash all that blood out. People are staying a mile away from him with all that crimson on the kid!"
So Bob hiked over to the castle, not knowing if Indigo would actually even attempt to give Zac a bath. Bob could only hope.
