Caravamel Part 48

Chapter 47: Transforming sometimes helps. Sometimes.

First, the marmalade covering the jar froze over slowly, when it was fully frozen it cracked and crumbled off the jar. Gosgos finally turned to the jar.

“Wha…?”

Words had barely left his mouth when the jar frosted with ice, exploded.

The way that it exploded was particularly strange all of the shards shot off towards Gosgos, who quite naturally for him pulled up a cover of jam. Most of the shards however pierced through both the jam and Gosgos.

“arggghhh”

Gosgos was pinned against a wall but his wounds though frozen were as jam, and his whole form seemed to shudder, taking on a conspicuous jam-like consistency. He flowed away from the jar shards and faced Marlequant.

The little otter was much changed. There was not anything floppy looking about him. He was covered head to paw in purplish icy armour. Fancy Chill’s slush minion had bonded with him! The armour was a bit odd though, taking on a kind of blobby form like the orefruits of the juice that had bonded with Fancy’s minion. The helmet was a sphere with a scattered bunch of holes for breath and sight. The joints and pauldrons were likewise spheres, curiously so were the feet parts.

Marlequant’s floppy three bladed sword had greatly changed, being more fluid than floppy now. The blades flowed from the icy hilt and dripped down on the ground. These drops frosted the ground as soon as they hit.

“Juicy”

It was hard to tell if it was Marlequant talking or the slush-minion having fun with being able to use someone’s voice.

Gosgos loosed his robe and his legs vanished instead there was a undulating mass of jam, several jars hovered around him.

“You think some transformation is enough to defeat me? You try my patience, forget the others I’ll turn you to jam first!”

As he shouted the jars hovering around him unleashed torrents of jam at Marlequant.

“Juicy”

Marlequant slid around as if he was skating, leaving trails of ice behind him not one bit of jam touched him.

Gosgos panicked and more jars hovered around him firing blasts of jam!

Marlequant could no longer evade as he got closer to Gosgos, so quite simply his sword flowed before him, turning the jam to ice which then shattered. In this manner he slid to Gosgos.

Before Gosgos could do anything else Marlequant was incessantly slashing him, turning him to ice.

“Juicy!”

Another slash

“Would you…”

“Juicy!”

Another slash

“Just…”

Another slash

“STOPPPPPPP!!!”

Gosgos screamed as he was fully encased in ice.

“Juicy” Marlequant concluded, turning his back to the enchanter and posing dramatically.

Up on the surface, looking at her ice mirror, Fancy Chill wooped.

“Ha! Take that! You’ll not be stopping any more stories now! Ahhh this is great!”

The Gosgos ice statue shook a bit.

Marlequant turned around. Both he and the slush minion were wary.

The statue remained still.

“Woo, that gave me a fright” Fancy Chill said.

The statue exploded.

Outside the tower, part of the wall exploded and a huge mass of jam thrust out, clutched by this massive jam was Marlequant.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA! You think you are the only one who can transform! BEHOLD THE GLORY OF MY TRUE FORM, I HAVE BECOME JAM ITSELF! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!”

Gosgos shouted triumphantly from his massive dripping face.

Marlequant struggled and tried to freeze Gosgos, but he was too large.

“NOW WHAT TO DO WITH YOU? SHALL I JUST DROP YOU INTO THIS ABYSS? OR WILL I CRUSH YOU SLOWLY?” Gosgos wondered.

He had completely forgotten his intention to turn Marlequant into Jam. For a lot of magicians their transformations tend to go to their heads.

Gosgos began to constrict Marlequant and worrying cracking sounds came from the ice clad otter.

However just then at this moment of triumph. Gosgos began to feel a bit cold.

This quickly became extremely cold, but it was not coming from Marlequant. It was coming from the outside of Gosgos’ body.

AAAHA, AAAHA, AAAHA!”

A woman’s laughter sounded out. Gosgos gazed upwards at the underground exit. A blizzard had surrounded him and some of that condensed in a form.

This form was black like oil, even dripping as such, wrapped in such feathery wings. A scarlet serpentine neck that ended in a flat surface from which a trio of icy eyes that had irises like spinning ice cubes, these eye looked dismissively at Gosgos.

The form of Fancy Chill!

“WHO DARES!” GOSGOS SHOUTED.

Fancy Chill flicked her tail and opened her jagged neck mouth.

“I, She-Sending-Fanciful-Chillwinds dare!”

“JAM I’LL TURN YOU TO JAM, THIS OTTER TOO, EVERYTHING EVERYONE ALL TO JAM!”

“You think you can just do as you please with my toys?” Fancy Chill sneered.

She focused her gaze on Marlequant.

“Come” She ordered.

Marlequant broke through Gosgos like a knife through jam!

“Juciy” he said as he knelt before Fancy Chill in mid air.

“JAM JAM JAM JAM JAM JAMJAMJAMJAMJAM!!!!!” Gosgos raved.

“Pitiful creature, Your story ended as soon as you were foolish enough to come out of the tower.”

Fancy Chill waved a wing and Gosgos froze over.

It was his simple misfortune to come across Fancy Chill when she had come to a realization, one that provoked this huge change in her behaviour.

The whole mass that extended from with the tower was frozen. With a thunderous crack the greater mass of the frozen jam, Gosgos fell spinning into the abyss below.
