[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7183528, member: 6777052"] Blissfully unaware of Tippy's attempts to contact him, ₼₼₼₼₼₼₼₼, aka Inannyunot, had continued to read everything he could find about the son of Donald BlackHair, who might turn out to be him. As an aside, he had chanced to find an old spell book, almost crumbling away with age, and learnt the [I]Fly[/I] spell from it. He'd always rather fancied knowing that and he tried it out by flying from the top of the library tower, out over the loch. Archie flew up to meet him. "Hoots mon! Ye fly lak a naturrral birrrd!" "Hi, Archie, thanks. I've got a favour to ask you." "Och, aye?" "There's a place called Thrumness, about a hundred miles north of here. Can you get me there by tomorrow?" "Aye, I ken it. A desolate wee toon. What tak's ye tae Thrumness?" "I've been reading about it. There is a contest held there every year on the day of the first full moon of the ninth month. That will be the day after tomorrow. The contest starts from Thrumness Point. Any man who can reach the Isle of Luin within one hour without getting his feet wet can claim the island as his rightful kingdom. I want to win it." "An ye fancy a spot o' kangshap?" "The last king of Luin was a man called Donald BlackHair, and I'm pretty sure I'm his son. So it should be mine anyway. It's meant to be an impossible challenge, of course. It's just over a mile out to the island and the currents in the strait are too fierce at neap tide for boats to cross.
