“For the Emperor,” laughed Gordon.
“You won’t get away,” sang the other Titans – it was a battle hymn, but Thomas thought they were taunting him.
Poor Thomas was running faster than he’d ever ran before. He was tired and his legs hurt him, but he had to go on.
“I shall never be the same again,” he thought sadly, “My joints will be quite worn out!”
At last, they stopped behind a range of tall hills. Thomas escaped from the gaggle of Reavers, and he felt very silly and exhausted. Next, he briefly scanned the top of the range, thinking of everyone laughing at him, and then he moved out of the way.
“Well, little Thomas,” chuckled Gordon, “now you know what fighting means, don’t you?”
Thomas couldn’t answer – he had no more breath. He just walked slowly away to rest, and have a long repair session.
He went back to the Imperial encampment very slowly, and was careful afterwards never to be cheeky to Gordon again.
