Chapter 5

HANK HAS NEVER FACED SUCH A HARD TASK.

“What happened, Dan?” asked Hank as he and Rod snapped their fingers and were quickly dressed as Dan came into the room.

 

“I don’t know. I went to Jane’s room and knocked on the door, but I didn’t get any answer. After I knocked several more times, I tried the door. It was open. I went in and saw that her bed had not been slept in. Then I saw the note on the desk. It read ‘If you want your precious Jane back, get Hank Peters and Rod Cox down to the Headmaster’s study.” The note wasn’t signed,” Dan said.

 

The three almost literally flew down the steps and dashed to Dickerson’s study. When they went in they saw George and Mary Cox, Rod’s mother Holly, Dr. Weis, Nip and Tuck Cox, and Nick and Tom Pringle. “Hello, Mom,” Rod and Dan said almost in unison as they greeted their mothers.

 

Everyone started talking at once until Headmaster Dickerson cleared his throat, looked over the tops of his glasses, cleared his throat again, and said, “If I may, everyone? I will explain.”

 

He paused to make sure everyone was quiet and more or less calmed down, and went on, “You have all be summoned here by a message from the Dark Wizard, who informs us that he holds Jane prisoner. She will be released as soon as someone comes for her.”

 

“I’ll go, sir,” Dan said at once.

 

“No, Dan, you can’t be the one, for two reasons: one, you love her too much and this mission is going to take a great deal of physical, emotional, and mental self control. The second reason is this: The Dark Wizard has stipulated that it has to be Mr. Peters who is to be the rescuer. If he reaches Jane, and says ‘Come with me, Jane,’ the spell will be broken, but, “and here Dickerson looked at Hank, “if you fail in the task, Jane will be under his spell forever.”

A collective gasp went up from the listeners.

 

“There’s one more thing you need to know, Hank,” Dickerson went on. If you turn aside from your journey, or even hesitate for a moment, whether it is in anger, hate, or lust, or even what you think is love, you will fail, and Jane will be lost, and---so will you. If you say anything or make a gesture, it will be over, and YOU will also be under the Dark Wizard’s power, So-o-o-o, if you don’t want to do this, we will all understand.”

 

“Headmaster, if you think for one moment that I would abandon Jane, you are a f---,” Hank started to say angrily, but Dickerson held up his hand.

 

“That is exactly the kind of reaction you must not have. You must control your words, Hank, and I for one have no doubt you can do it.”

 

Turning to the others, Dickerson said “The Dark Wizard does not want Hank to use any magic, and he wants to be able to see that Hank is not aroused, so Hank is going to have to do this naked. Ladies, if you would wait outside, we will get Hank ready.”

 

Holly and Mary came up to Hank and hugged him and said “God bless you, Hank, we know you will rescue our Jane,” and they left the room.

 

Now Nick and Tom, and George and Nip and Tuck, their Dad, and Dr. Weis came up to Hank, hugged him and told him they would be pulling for him.

 

Then it was Rod’s turn. “You know I will always love you, no matter what happens,” Rod said, with tears in his eyes.

 

“I know, Rod, and I will always love you, too, “Hank said.

 

Then turning to the Headmaster, Hank said, “I’m ready now.”

 

The Headmaster said, “Just step out of your clothes, Hank. Beyond this door is the path leading to the Valley of Shadows. Jane is in a grotto at the end of the path. The path is not all that long, but you will meet temptations on the way. Some you may easily recognize, but others may be more difficult. Finally Hank, remember the words of the Christian writer Paul, ‘It’s not enough to have all knowledge, and understand all mysteries. If you don’t have love, you are nothing more than a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. “

 

Dickerson opened the door, and Hank stepped out into a gloomy day with fog swirling around him.

 

He had not gone but 20 paces when a figure stepped out of the mist and blocked his way.

Hank heard a voice calling him. “Peters, you miserable brat, look at me.”

 

The figure became clearer and Hank saw his Uncle Herman standing in front of him, naked except for black thong. He had scars all over his body and safety pins piercing his nipples. He was holding a whip and a chain in his hand.

 

“Yes, it’s me, your Uncle Herman,” the figure said. “You thought I was dead, but my spirit lives on, and let me tell what I would have done to your cousin Dan, and to you too, if I had been able to. I would have had my pleasure with your sweet young bodies, and then I would have tied….”

 

Hank looked at him, and said “Uncle Herman, I cannot hate you because I understand that you were probably a victim of abuse when you were younger. I hope you can find some peace. Go to your eternal reward.”

 

With that Uncle Herman disappeared, and it seemed to Hank that high in the air, he heard a bell chiming. “Tin, Tin, Tin, Tin,” it rang, and as it rang, some of the fog dissipated.

 

Hank walked on, and then saw three naked young men engaging in sex play. They were Malik Flamboy, and his two sidekicks, Hurtt and Payne. They too blocked his way.

 

Malik was about 24, and had a well-defined body and 6” prick oozing precum. Hurtt had a 7” uncut cock which he was stroking to its full erection. Payne was completely hairless. His slender body was white and smooth.

 

Malik said “Hey, Peters, come and join us, and we’ll show us some tricks you do with your organ, tricks that will have your Rod begging for more. How about you and me sucking each other off?”

 

Then Payne asked Hank “Hey, stud, you want to play with my dick while I finger your balls and beat your meat?”

 

Hurtt turned his back on Hank and bent over so that his smooth asshole was “winking” at Hank. Hurtt said, with a lewd wiggle of his hips, “Come on, Peters, let me ride your pole.”

 

Hank looked at them, smiled and said, “No thanks, you three. I’m on a mission.”

 

The three naked men vanished, and once again Hank thought he heard chimes above him, two bells this time. “Tin, Tan, Tin, Tan,” they rang from high above him.

 

Once more, some of the fog melted away.

 

Now Hank walked a little quicker. He thought he could see a light some distance away.

 

Suddenly a tall robed and hooded figure blocked the path. Where the face might have appeared there was only blackness.

 

“You know who I am, Hank Peters. I am the Dark Wizard,” the figure spoke. “I murdered your parents and I will have Jane in my power all too soon, and then I will have you and your little Rod, as well. I will win because I have all the power of the magical world, and you are not much more than a worthless piece of nothing, but I WILL have you in my power, sooner or later.”

 

Hank looked at the Dark Wizard and said “Wizard, it doesn’t matter if you think you have all the power and knowledge of magic. If you do not have love, you are nothing more than a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal!”

 

Giving an unearthly groan the Wizard disappeared. More fog dissolved, and once again, Hank heard, coming from high above him….

 

“Tin, Tan, Din, Tin, Tan, Din, Tin, Din, Tan, Din, Tin, Tan.”

 

Hank was almost to the grotto, when he saw two more figures blocking his path. They were…. It looked like… Yes, the figures were his Mom and Dad, smiling and waving at him.

 

“Oh, Hank, my son, stop a moment and give your Mom a hug,” the one figure said.

 

“I’m proud of you my boy, come and let me see how tall you’ve grown,” said the other figure.

 

“Oh, no, this is the hardest obstacle of all,” Hank thought to himself. He was about to give his Mom a hug, when he remembered Headmaster Dickerson’s warning, not to hesitate or turn aside, even for a moment, Hank, squared his shoulders and he walked right through the figures, which disappeared immediately.

 

Once more came the chimes from on high: “Tin, Tan, Din, Don, Tin, Tan, Din, Don, Tin, Din, Tan, Don, Din, Tin, Tan, Don.”

 

The mist disappeared except for one wisp of fog that swirled around Hank’s waist and became a kilt-like garment.

 

Hank walked up to the figure of Jane, touched her cheek, and said, “Come with me, Jane.”

 

Jane opened her eyes, saw Hank and smiled. “Hello, Hank. Where am I? I don’t remember anything after opening the door of my room last night.”

 

“That’s all right, Jane. Maybe it will come back to you, but right now, I have to get you back to Fogmarts,” Hank said.

 

Jane took his hand and got up, and “Foooooosh.” They were back in the headmaster’s study.

 

Quite a crowd had gathered there. Jane ran to Dan who hugged her and kissed her.

 

Rod went to Hank and hugged him and kissed him. “Hank, I knew you would do it, but all the same, I….” Rod broke into tears.

 

Holly hugged Fred, George hugged Mary, Nick and Tom hugged, and Nip and Tuck high-fived each other—and then they hugged each other.

 

Poor Headmaster Dickerson had no one to hug, when in walked the Minister of Enchantment.

 

“So Hank pulled it off, did he, I am so glad,” said the Minister, and he shook hands with the Headmaster, and then gave him a hug.

 

When the kissing and hugging had subsided and the tears of joy had subsided, the Minister spoke “Hank you have done a wonderful thing. You have saved his young lady from a terrible fate. I know you must be exhausted, so I am ordering you and Rod to take a week’s leave, with pay, and just relax and enjoy.”

 

“Oh, Minister, I am fine, I don’t think…” Hank began.

 

“Nonsense, my good fellow, you are taking a week’s leave, and I’ll have no argument about it. Besides you have a wedding and commitment ceremony coming up, two events that you need to get ready for.”

 

 

To be continued...

 

Author’s note: My friend E once asked me where I came up with the words for the various sounds I used in my stories. All I could say was that as far as I know, they came from my mind. However, the words to indicate the sounds of the bells were borrowed from the writings of one of the icons of English mystery literature. Can anyone tell me who the writer was, and in which of that writer’s stories these words appeared?

 

E Walk comment: Hank certainly is a strong character.
