Aelius the gargoyle is very protective of his creator, master and love, Elizabeta. From drawing first breath he’s wants revenge on the kids bulling her at school. The only reason he holds back is because Elizabeta instructs him to. But when he is finally unleashed, people lose their shoes, their eyebrows and their dignity.
I have to admit, I’ve never been a prankster, though I have wanted to get revenge on a few choice individuals… But it’s been a long time now. I was surprised at some of the things Aelius does, especially when he tied that sleeping kid to the top of the tree. Too bad the kid slept in the nude… He’s even willing to go so far as to kill to keep his Elizabeta safe.
I couldn’t imagine waking up at the top of a tree, or with no eyebrows, or to farm animals eating my clothes. Yeah, I’ll leave that up to my Gargoyle. What about you? Are you a prankster like Aelius?
