A Warrior's Tail Page #5

Honestly, we were expecting a witch.

Oh, Old Witch.

No, she hasn't lived

in this house for years.

What happened to her?

Let's just say...

she tried to eat the wrong little girl.

You're the Magician?

Let me guess.

Magicians have to be men and old.

It's a rule.

Ah, it's nice to see people again.

You must want something.

Go ahead, Savva.

You know my name?

Of course I do.

Now out with it.

I was told that if I made my way to you,

you might have a warrior here

who could save my village.

He's right through that door.

He's been waiting for you.

Go ahead.

Ah, Fafl.

Remind me again why you were cursed?

Uh, because of my pride and arrogance.

You're kidding!

Because I believed myself

superior to everyone else, okay?

Where's the mosquito?

Gone. He's free.

We agreed.

Kneel.

With this magic wand, I dub thee

full-fledged Baron Fafl,

and I return you to your original state.

Oh, it's me! I'm back!

I'm really back!

Hello?

Is anybody here?

My name is Savva.

I think I'm looking for you.

You certainly look powerful.

Can you save my village?

Why don't you answer me?

What my father did was wrong,

but we've paid a heavy price.

We've seen how dark our souls can be,

and we're better for it.

I agree.

Then lift this curse.

Transform, Anggee!

The Rickies are no more.

Nanty, what can I do for you?

Nothing.

I have everything I need.

Are you sure?

Thank you, but I'm sure.

Come on, we need to go.

My village is waiting, my people are...

What?

Really. I got nothing.

Oh, I thought you were

an enchanted prince?

Yeah, not so much.

I wanted friends.

No more loneliness. I got them.

You came all this way.

There must be something

I can do for you.

[chuckles]

Delightful!

Did you find what you were looking for?

Yes, thank you.

Door, please.

Puzhalsta!

Ah...

Wow.

You, uh...

You really are... handsome.

Well, you know,

maybe slightly above average.

You are our leader now.

Listen, I can make you rich!

I can make you the dragon in

charge of all the other dragons!

I accept.

[howling]

Anggee, my village.

Climb on.

We'll get you there in no time.

Ah, well, thank you!

This is very nice of you,

very nice indeed,

because I am no better than you at all!

GIRL:
Is that Savva?

BOY:
They're so gonna eat him.

Savva!

It's okay, Mom.

What are you doing?

Saving the world entire.

Wait.

It's between the two of us.

[snickering]

Well, well.

You can't beat me, sweetie.

Is that all you've got?

Bad dog!

We are not your slaves!

Please.

Spare me.

[hyena whimpers]

[gasps]

Never come back here again!

Yeah! You better run!

[snorts]

- Oh!

- [hyenas laughing]

Savva!

I saw him first!

He's mine. Back off!

[screaming]

So, here you are,

tell me, what did you finally

ask the Magician for?

Uh...

[hums]

[crowd clamoring]

Makatunga!

Makatunga!

[cheering]

Put me down this instant!

That's an order!

There's gonna be dancing!

[cheering continues]

All your dreams have come true.

You've achieved what you wanted

all by yourself.

Now I must go.

I must hurry and catch up

with the others,

for I am their leader.

I'll miss him so much.

We'll see him again, cher.

I saw a magical dream

I had a vision

What a surprise!

What will you do

now that your curse is lifted?

I thought I would head north.

I've gotten quite used

to roaming these last few years.

I could head north.

Oh, inviting yourself, are you?

I'm not going to wait

for you to invite me.

I'll be old and pink.

Do I look like the kind of man

who wants to travel

with an oversized cotton swab?

I'm the one who has to put up

with your stories

about women fighting over you

all the time.

They were fighting over me

six minutes ago!

What a surprise! They fought the duels

with nothing but chewing gum

and paper clips!

I suppose you could come in handy

if I have to clean my ears.

Why are you so sad, Savva?

I don't know.

It's the first time

I found a true friend.

He is not leaving, cher.

I'm gonna miss him anyway.

[distant howling]

I believe

I hold your hand to my heart

There's no more fear

I feel so strong in my soul

I want to share it

Now I know what it's like

Wish with all my heart

I believe

The love I feel inside

In truth I want to find

The guidance in my heart

I believe

You're here with me to stay

And all I have to say

Forever I'm your friend

I believe

The love I feel inside

In truth I want to find

The guidance in my heart

I believe

You're here with me to stay

Hey, fellas!

Fafl, is that what

those women fought for?

Found a nice country girl for myself.

Bit of a junk-food addict,

but she sure knows what a man wants.

Told her you'd be

the best ride for our honeymoon.

Hey, pal, I called shotgun first.

I'm loving it!
