Marek, Kate, and Chris now stood alone in a foreign land. In fact a foreign universe. There one and only goal now was to find Professor Johnson and get out of there. Come to find out they carried these clay tiles that spawned a jumping portal. And it allowed them to communicate with the people back at ITC. ITC told the crew that they would have to wait 39 hours before the jumping room would be reconstructed because of the grenade the marine dropped earlier. So they figured they better start looking for the professor and so they did. Marek, Kate, and Chris came across a knight tourney. Marek, being the sexy stud role, knew many of the customs required to compete in the tourney so he made it his goal to try and get into one of the jousting tournaments. He strutted around the tents that housed the true knights and by some miracle he was accepted and suited by one of the tents. He made his way to the jousting arena. He got on a horse and was handed a joust. He stared down his opponent. They sprinted full bore at one another. Marek struck the man broad in the chest and to the ground. The opponent got up in a fury and challenged Marek to a sword fight. Marek agreed and jumped off his horse and made his way towards his opponent. They fought feriously for many minutes. Marek eventually knocked his opponent to the ground. When Marek did this the helment of his foe tipped back revealing his face. It was the face of Castleguards prince. He acted out as if he was to slice the throat of his opponent but then proceeded to lift the prince to his feet. Marek had made a hero of himself. For the next couple hours in the book Crichton takes us through Castleguard and its many features.
Crichton is an exciting writer. Writing of many action scenes which i enjoy dearly.
