âwutz awl dis?â thedude exclaimed angrily.

âErm, well, uhâ¦â the captain of the guards stuttered. He gestured helplessly at the spectacle which incited the dude's wrath.

Every one of the red mythrans assigned to guarding thedudeâs castle had left their posts. They had grouped up into a sphere, floating about a quarter mile above the castle, and were all focusing on projecting a red forcefield around their sphere of mythrans. Every single one of them was completely motionless.

âyu rad mitrens yu git bak to yoor powsts! i neever sed yu kud stahp garding meh!â

Every single one of them remained completely motionless.

ânoos wa dunt dey liten tu meh!?!?!!!?!?!?!?!??!????!?!?!!!!? dey hev nevar disubayed meh bifor!!!!!!!!!?!!!??!!!!!!!!!!!!!â

thedude stamped his foot on the ground again and again in anger.

âErm, lord thedude, weâve been receiving reports that the Red Mythrans at every one of our outposts are acting the same way; theyâve all gathered in a sphere floating a considerable distance off the ground, and are projecting a forcefield around them.â

ânaw dat i thinc abowt id, de rad mitrens hev ben akting strengli. dey did nat alweys obay meh emedatly ahd i hed to ahsk tweyce. lahrd tehdude shud neveh hev te ahsk tweyce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.â

He stamped his foot some more.

âSir great lord thedude, the men are growing uneasy. Rumors are circulating that the Red Mythrans sense danger.â

âweel too bahd! mahk dem wurk dubl tiem te replece teh mytrens unteel te mitrans goes bahk te narml!â

âRight away lord thedude!â

''' 
'''

Meanwhile, somewhere else...

''' 
'''

âHey, uh, sergeant? Whatâs up with our Red Mythran? Itâs just been floating in the air above the middle of the camp projecting a force field around itself,â said a Paradox Rogue newbie.

âThatâs strange; Iâll call HQ about it.â

The sergeant picked up the phone at his desk, punched in the number, and put it to his ear.

âBwooooooooop. Bwooooooooop. Bwooooooooop. You have reached the Red Mythran tech support. All of our representatives are busy with other calls right now. Please remain on hold until one of our representatives can help you; there are 973 people on hold ahead of you.â

The captain put down the phone and looked at the newbie with his most serious face.

âWeâre on our own now.â

''' 
'''

~ ~ ~

''' 
'''

The sergeant, the newbie, and all the other Paradox Rogues of the small rogue outpost gathered to look at the solitary Red Mythran hovering above the center of the camp.

âAw man! Not only does HQ only send us one Red Mythran, but they send us a faulty one to boot! Look at him! Heâs not even doing anything!â cried out the newbie.

An old, senior Paradox Rogue hobbled up behind the newbie.

âYou know, it is rumored that the Red Mythrans instinctively sense danger. However, this has never been proven, since never before has there been anything powerful enough to pose a threat to a Red Mythran.â

Murmers passed throughout all the Paradox Rogues as the senior rogue said this.

âWhat could be dangerous enough to make a Red Mythran act this way?â âWhat should we do?â âDo you think weâre safe?â âAre we out of coffee?â âDid you check the cupboard?â âYeah, but the cupboard was nine-headed-man-eating-sheep bare.â âI like coffee.â

âSTOP TALKING ABOUT COFFEE!!!!â The sergeant roared.

Everyone stopped talking about coffee. In fact, talking stopped completely. Whether that was because no one was talking about anything besides coffee, or because they were intimidated by the sergeantâs yelling, we will never know.

âEveryone back to work! If we donât have the Red Mythran to help out, well then that just means weâll have to work double time!â

Grumbling passed throughout all the Paradox Rogues.

âAw man.â âDouble time?!?! As in, double the normal amount of time?!?!?!â âI just checked the cupboard, the coffee is in plain sight!â âWell it wasnât there when I checked!â âI like coffee.â
âSTOP TALKING ABOUT COFFEE!!!!â

This time everyone stopped talking, except for one rogue who kept talking about doughnuts.

âAND DOUGHNUTS!!!!â the sergeant roared.

Everyone stopped talking.

''' 
'''

Everything went okay. As okay as things can go when youâre forced to work double time, which is double the normal amount of time.

''' 
'''

Untilâ¦

''' 
'''

âHey look! It looks like our RM is shaking!â He pointed to the Red Mythran floating above the middle of the camp.

âYouâre right! Itâs trembling for some reason!!!â âIt must be out of fear!â âWho knows how long itâs been floating up there, where thereâs no coffee.â âI like coffee.â

''' 
'''

As it turns out, the Red Mythran was not trembling due to coffee deprivation. It was trembling due to its instinctual sense of danger.

''' 
'''

Suddenly, there was a loud crackle as a dark line cut the Red Mythranâs red forcefield in half. The Red Mythran flashed out of view for less than a second, as if a shadow had passed in front of it, and then its body fell limp to the ground.

''' 
'''

All across Midlitadfsalf;jfsfablahblahblah, Red Mythrans were turning up dead. The Red Mythrans gathered in large numbers, such as those over thedudeâs castle, passed an uneventful knight. However, small groups of Mythrans, and lone Red Mythrans assigned to the more remote Paradox Rogue outposts, were completely dead. Totally dead. Yet there wasnât a single mark on them.

''' 
'''

ânoes!!!!!!! dis cahnt beh hapensing! Nohs! nooooooohs!!!â

''' 
'''

âItâs pronounced ânoo,â master. Same pronunciation as âmoo.ââ

âI donât know what to make of it, Sir! Thereâs not a mark on the Red Mythranâs body at all!â the sergeant said, gesturing to the body of the deceased Red Mythran. It ainât easy for us, me and my men, out here at this remote outpost with just a single Red Mythran to help us keep order. I donât know what weâll do without our RM!â

âJust tell me what occurred 2 nights ago,â Vladek demanded.

âWell me and my men, we were just minding our own business, working double time (thatâs double the normal amount of time, you know).â

âYes, yes, I knowâ Vladek snapped impatiently.

âMy men, theyâre good men. Sure, they can get distracted with coffee sometimes, but other than that, theyâre always focused on the job. Why, there was this one soldier who always loved mentioned how he loved coffee.â

Vladek raised an eyebrow.

âCoffee you say? Hmmâ¦â He turned away, stroking his chin thoughtfully. Then he turned back toward the sergeant. âDo you think I could talk to this soldier?â

âOf course sir!â the sergeant blew his whistle, and all the Paradox Rogues stationed at that outpost lined up.

âThatâs all of them?â Vladek inquired.

âYes sir,â the sergeant replied.

âWhich one of you,â Vladek said, turning toward the Paradox Rogues lined up, âIs the one who repeatedly declared his love of coffee?â

No one stepped forward.

Vladek rubbed his chin some more. He turned to the seargent.

âCould show me exactly where the Red Mythran body was found?â

âOf course Sir!â

The sergeant exited the tent and hurried over to the ground at the center of the camp. Vladek strode, purposefully yet not hastily, just behind.

âIt was right here where the Red Mythranâs body fell after it was killed,â the seargent explained.

Vladek kneeled down and inspected the dry dirt of the ground. There were some dark black granules mixed in with the dirt. He grabbed some between his thumb and pointer finger and rubbed those fingers together, feeling the granules.

Vladek pulled out a map quickly, and pointed to some woods marked on it.

âWe are nearby the black coffee magic woods, are we not?â Vladek inquired.

âYes sir, but we donât dare go near those! Those woods are haunted! It is said that the woods themselves want to smash you! Itâs a pity, though, itâs rumored that at the center of the woods are the greatest tasting coffee trees in existence!â

âThank you. You served your purpose.â

''' 
'''

Vladek strode off.

''' 
'''

~ ~ ~

''' 
'''

After a few hours of walking, Vladek reached his destination, and the sun was low on the horizon. Vladek was at the black coffee magic woods. He entered the woods. It was strangely dark, darker than it should have been, even in woods. Despite the darkness, the light from the setting sun struggled through the trees and made it into the forest as a dim, blood red glow.

''' 
'''

Suddenly, a loud cracking noise filled the air as a large tree fell down toward Vladek! Unfazed, Vladek sliced his sword in front of him in an overhead motion, splitting the tree in half, leaving Vladek unscathed.

''' 
'''

As Vladek pushed further into the woods, the sun finally set completely. A light fog enveloped Vladek. He stopped walking.

''' 
'''

âShow yourself!â He called out into the fog.

''' 
'''

A dark form with a ragged hood pulled over i

''' 
 
'''

âThatâs why you shouldnât drink coffee because it stunts your growth.â

''' 
'''

The children looked at him awestruck. It had never occurred to them that popular adult sayings such as âcoffee stunts your growthâ could have such epic backstories.

''' 
'''

âOh yeah, also these events also occurred on Halloween, so thereâs that too,â the man added.

''' 
'''

âWill you tell us why television is bad for our eyes, too?â asked one of them.

''' 
'''

The man laughed. âMUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Perhaps another dark and stormy night! Itâs too late now! You need to go to bed now!â

''' 
'''

And while the children to be ran to their castle rooms disappointed, the storyteller watched the soft glow of towns burning off in the distance. And Lord Vladek sighed in remembrance of better times. . .
