Ep4: Zafiya's Arrival
Join The Librarian at Beryl's for another story.
Already, the signs are here: something is happening around Moonkarta. Something bad is coming.
THE has warned the people of revenge from dark forces that we have not yet met. The circus has rolled through town, led by The Librarian's brother Esteban, who has struck a deal with Cirrina, the Queen of the Octofolk, to protect The Librarian against whatever is coming.
And now for the arrival of Zafiya; a ruthless and formidable pirate from Farfaranese, whose mission is to secure the power of the moon crystals from the stone circle in Moonkarta's Forbidden Forest.
Zafiya arrives off Moonkarta's shores in the dead of night with his gang of pirates and the terrifying Brassman.
The following morning, Splott and Jansey are out sailing and having fun together. That is until they are spotted by Zafiya and his men, who attack and capture them. Once captured, Splott and Jansey are held hostage.
Zafiya's motive is always money and power. He realises that his prisoner Splott, is a valuable asset. Zafiya recognises him as being the last of the Lifans, and as a result, Splott will be worth a fortune. He chooses to keep Splott alive but as the full moon arrives, he decides to throw Jansey into the stone circle, at the mercy of the moon's power.
In another place, and another time, Colin is placing road cones along a quiet rainy road in Sydney, Australia. Down on his luck, Colin's boss arrives on site to tell Colin that he has been marking up miles of the wrong road, and that his recent mistakes have been costly. Colin is fired on the spot. As he gets out of his truck to start collecting the cones, he is hit by lightning and transported to the centre of Moonkarta's stone circle where the hi-vis coating on his road cone and jacket deflects the moon's beam.
Jansey is saved but wounded. Zafiya is hurt. As Potts and the troops arrive with The Librarian, a stand-off takes place between The Librarian and the pirates, who still have Splott held captive. As chaos ensues, The Librarian is stabbed by one of the pirates. As he is about to finish The Librarian off, he is saved at the last moment by Potts.
Splott, Jansey, Gorel and The Librarian return home.
Their lives will never be quite the same.
