Gordon's Kwami intro

Lady Penelope always sent little things to Tracy Island, so he wasn't surprised to see the black hexagonal lacquered box sitting on his bed.

Whenever she spotted anything that took her fancy, she always bought it. It could be anything. So this box was no exception.

Usually, she'd message him beforehand ... or leave a fancy embellished card. But there was just this box.

He picked it up and turned it around. It was exquisite. Yep, she definitely had taste.

Now normally, he would leave it on one of his shelves. But for some reason, he had the urge to open it.

As soon as he did, there was a flash. His mind went into overdrive as the first thing he thought of was a booby trap. How could he have been so stupid, allowing himself to be tricked like this?

There was no boom. When his eyes adjusted to the bright light, he ran his hands over his arms checking for burns and shrapnel.

Nothing.

"Hello Master."

He froze, then turned slowly towards the location of this tiny little voice. And blinked ... twice.

He rubbed his eyes and stared. Floating before him was an odd looking creature. It had the head of a squid, but it's colouring was that of Thunderbird Four. Yellow with hints of red and black.

"I am Malu. I'm your Kwami."

This ... had to be some sort of prank.

"O-kay Alan," he said loudly.

Malu's eyes widened in fright and he shot across the short distance to tap Gordon’s lips frantically.

"Please ... oh please ... nobody's supposed to know about me."

"Huh?"

"Master Fu, our guardian, has chosen you to help defeat a great evil that is causing trouble the world over."

"The Hood!"

"Ah, you are familiar with him already. "

"Yeah, my brothers and I have been fighting him for years."

"You have ... brothers?"

"Uh, yeah. Four of them actually."

Malu rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Interesting. Master Fu never mentioned this before."

"Master Fu?"

"He is the guardian of the Kwamis."

"Kwamis?"

Malu folded his arms and looked slightly annoyed.

"You're not very attentive ... are you?"

"Sorry ... just trying to process all of this. It just so surreal, that's all."

There was a knock on his bedroom door.

"Everything okay in there Gordon?"

Malu squeaked in panic and vanished into the lacquered box.

"He mustn't know about us," he said before snapping the lid shut.

"Er ... okay. .... I'm fine Virgil."

"I thought I heard voices."

"Nope... just the telly that's all. Reruns of Buddy and Ellie."

There was a long silence and Gordon held his breath, certain that his brother would walk in. But he didn't.

"Just to let you know that I'm going on a supply run with grandma and wanted to know if you needed anything."

Gordon scoured his room, the box was trembling slightly.

"Nah ... I'm good."

"Okay .. see you later."

"Wait ... can you pick up some celery crunch bars will you? .... and that expensive chocolate that Lady Penelope likes. Thanks."

"Okay."

And then he was gone. The box rattled and Gordon picked it up.

"He's gone now. It should be safe now. Although I'm not sure about keeping secrets from my family. "

Malu smiled, a leather bracelet with jade beads was in his tiny little hands.

"What's that?"

"If you give me one of your celery crunch bars ... I'll tell you how this all works."
