THE HORROR! THE HORROR!

Madame Tibette led us to one side of the Throne Room. Behind us we could hear the Emperor slurping and chomping as he guzzled chocolate. "Children!" Said Madame Tibette. "No ordinary Zog can control the Emperor! Not even I, Madame Tibette, can do so!" "I will explain. The Emperor is Immortal. Long, long, ago, he realised that he would go crazy if he stayed awake all the time. So now he rests for 100 years, under the charge of the Acolytes." "When the hundred years are up, he "Wakes Up" and becones sensible and sane again for year or so. Then he goes back to being a sort of giant idiot again. It's the only way to survive eternal life!" Then Madame Tibette whispered to us: very quietly "The Emperor Is Going To Wake Up Soon! Soon!" She went on talking loudly, as if nothing had happened!! I noticed that some of the Acolytes were looking suspiciously at us. "Children! To stop the Emperor pigging out on Chocolate and killing himself we must employ emergency measures!" "We must call upon the MOST TERRIBLE person in the whole of Zog!" "The Most Frightening! The most awful" Me and Sally held tentacles. We were beginning to realise ... "A person You know, children!!" It couldn't be .... "Someone who can FRIGHTEN the Emperor into Obedience..." If could ONLY be... "We must call upon .... MISS THEOBALD!!!....."

 

MISS THEOBALD!! We trembled in fear! Yes. She, only she, could control the Emperor!! "But, Madame Tibette" asked Sally. "How is it that you even KNOW about Miss Theobald?" We tricked her into warping to Earth: and the Men In Black have captured her!   "I know, children" said Madame Tibette wearily. "I know because Miss Theobald is. . . . .     . . . . MY SISTER!!!"
