July 7 Anthony to be freed within days

on Thursday 7 July 2011
The citizens of Kronk held their breath as King Harold stood before the cameras, ready to deliver the most important speech of his life.
Two hundred miles away in the area know as the darkened a beast was stirring. Anthony, the giant, who'd laid waste to whole swathes of the south and had finally been trapped, drugged and encased within a stone prison was about to make the front pages once more.
" Citizens, as you are aware last month we caught and contained the beast known as Anthony the Giant, imprisoning him within a stone box without window nor door but as many of you know, he was too strong "
Flashbulbs flashed and journalists jostled with each other for position.
" Each time we have built a larger enclosure he has ripped it down, he has been like the maggot in a corpse eating his way through to the sunlight, we may have slowed him down but we cannot build any more prisons "
Phones were going off, the throng of journalists was getting thinner, some abandoning their post.
" But, let me tell you this, we have been clever Kronkians, all this time we have been directing the beast towards the border, to Dazrtstein by clever use of weaker walls on the south face of our buildings. Yes, Antony will be freed within days but it will not be the citizens of Kronk that will face his fury "
The uplifting message delivered he raised his hand and grabbed hold of a yellow rope ladder that had appeared over head.
" We will triumph, I will look over you "
And with that King Harold was lifted up into the waiting helicopter and out far far away.
