THE 18TH ACCOUNT: BACK TO FRANCUA 3

"What happened to Labyrinth? Prince Eric told me that it sank and all of you were dead. But, Jeu told me that it was an illusion. He said he did not see it because he was busy trying to subdue Jacob. What truly happened?" I asked.

"It's better if I tell you the story from the very beginning after Captain regains consciousness," Urdel said. 

"You're the one who will be telling the story?" Sandlot looked at him with uncertainty.

"I'm a very good storyteller. I'll prove it to you," Urdel responded.

"Make sure your report will be accurate or else I'll slap you at the back of your head again," Sandlot uttered quietly but I still heard it.

I giggled. Oh how I missed these precious moments. And though we are not on Labyrinth, for now, this will do. Urdel cleared his throat before he began narrating what happened after they sailed away from National that night.

Jacob was stunned, "What just happened?" he uttered softly.
