“We can always attack you with our blasters,” John replied.

“True,” Fatheriam replied. “But where would the fun in that be. Blasters are so dull and boring. We need something to that entertaining to the reader, something that would provide you guys with a challenge. This is afterall a team building exercise.”

“Okay then, what do you suggest?”

“Oh, I don’t know. Fatheriam replied. “Something with acrobats… and knives.

“Knives you say.” Ava replied. “I have a couple of throwing knives at my disposal”

“Well, you’re going to need them.” Fatheriam replied. “But still, there should be something more.”

“Like what?” John asked. “Where already going to attack you after you apparently attack us. So, our motive is purely survival. What else is there to know?”

“There should be something deeper, something that will draw the readers in. something exciting, something dangerous…”

“Attacking you with knives is pretty dangerous,” Jocren replied. “Someone could get cut.”

“Nah, really,” Sassy replied. “Here I thought that this was supposed to be a safe, fun family activity.”

Narrator.

Fatheriam smiled wickedly, “This is going to be fun.” He murmured to himself.
