Jugard and the Titan Crab (Beyonders cont'd)

Galloran (the Blind King) gave Jason the title of Lord of Caberton and gave him a ring and a pinyard.  Galloran gave Rachael an Orantium and Rachael and Jason set off to find the sea cave.  Jason and Rachael argue about who is going to jump off a cliff into the sea.  Jason is extremely stubborn and insists on jumping so he strips down to his boxers.  Rachael and Jason flip a coin to see who will jump and Rachael wins, but Jason jumps anyway.  He dives right between two very sharp rocks to avoid getting hurt.  Jason swims into the sea cave.  He then climbs a 10 foot ledge.  On top of the ledge is a man with wiry muscles and white/gray hair twisting a piece of seaweed that makes it glow.  Jason tells the old man that he is sent by Galloran.  But the old man stays quiet and stares.  Jason looks away and stays quiet.  He didn’t want the old man to think that he is pushing him.  Finally the old man speaks and tells Jason he is wise because he demonstrates patience and wisdom.  The old man says his name is Jugard.  Jason asks if the old man knows a syllable of the word?  The old man says the fourth syllable of the word is  “en.”  So Jason now has two of the six syllables:  “A” and “en;” the first and the fourth.  After the old man and Jason had been talking for a while, Jugard talks to Jason about how it is relatively impossible to get out of the cave because the only way out is a little elevator and it is occupied by a Titan Crab.  Five people had tried prior and they had been killed by the crab.  Jugard tells Jason to take a peek at the crab and Jason does.  Jugard named the crab Macroid and it is a female.  Jason notes that the crab has black armor that is almost 100% impenetrable.  Jason and Jugard hear a splash.  Rachael shows up saying she was chased by a strange creature.  She climbed up the ledge while there was a creature jumping 8 feet high up the 10 foot ledge.  Jugard throws his seaweed down over the ledge so they can see what the creature is.  The creature that chased Rachael is Puggles the bore hound.  Puggles is chasing Rachael and Jason because he has been conscripted, which means that he was reprogrammed in his brain to have only one desire of chasing down Rachael and Jason.  Puggles was conscripted by Conscriptors.
