Aduro.

Question 1: "Which beast is Tom's favourite and what beast was the hardest to win against?"

Aduro Answers: "I don’t believe Tom has a favourite as all beasts are very different, if I have to pick I would say Ferno could be most favoured. Tom has faced many terrifying beasts in his young life but I think Malvel will always strive to create even more terrifying beasts until his last breath."

Question 2: "Are you an immortal?"

Aduro Answers: "I have lived for many years but I can perish like any mortal."

Question 3: "How do you read minds and don't say that's classified information because I know that you will be hiding the fact that you are not a real wizard or are you? "

Aduro Answers: "I cannot reveal how my magic works as this would give Mavel a huge advantage over me. My secret is so great I am willing to risk losing your belief in me. "

Question 4: "Why didn't you just kill the Beasts yourself if you're a bit like a Wizard?"

Aduro Answers: "My powers are indeed vast but are restricted; I need a hero’s help to succeed."

Question 5: "Why did you pick Tom to defend Aventia?"

Aduro Answers: "It wasn't me who chose Tom for his many quests! You see, the Ancient Scripts predicted Tom as the unlikely hero who would take up the Quest to free the Beasts from the curse and save the kingdom, though it was I who recognised him as the true hero!"

Question 6: "Does Tom have a cousin... for he lived with his aunt and uncle and he couldn't live with his parents so did he have a cousin he could play with when he was little?"

Aduro Answers: "Tom’s aunt and uncle did not have their own children but there were many children to play with in the village he grew up in."

Question 7: "Can Tom defeat all the beasts at once and Malvel?"

Aduro Answers: "Malvel’s malice knows no bounds and he is always coming up with new ways to return to take over Aventia."

Question 8: "Why is Malvel evil in the first place?"

Aduro Answers: "He was never satisfied with his place in the world. He wanted power and glory and would stop at nothing to achieve it."

Question 9: "What was Malvel like when he was your apprentice?"

Aduro Answers: "Malvel was a very clever and hardworking apprentice but he always wanted more power and he did not understand why we shouldn’t make all mere humans be our slaves."

Question 10: "How did it feel to be captured by Malvel?"

Aduro Answers: "It was terrifying as Malvel knows no mercy. The only thing that kept me going was the hope that Tom would defeat him."

Question 11: "Tom once said you looked ages older when the Warlock's Staff is stolen by Marvel…so my question is, was your life held by the warlock's staff?"

Aduro Answers: "Yes my life is linked to the fate of the Warlocks Staff but I do not want to reveal the my life’s secret so easily you must read The Warlock’s Staff (books 49-51)to learn more."

Older Questions.

Question 6: " What is your favourite beast?"

Aduro Answers: "While I love all the noble beasts of Avantia, I have a soft spot for Ferno, the very first beast Tom ever freed from the evil clutches of Malvel."

Question 5: "ADURO please ask tom what it is like to go on a beast quest?"

Aduro Answers: "Tom told me to tell you - a Beast Quest is often terrifying, but freeing Beasts from Malvel's evil curse makes it worth all the trouble!"

Question 4: "What’s it like be a wizard, protecting Avatia and serving for the king? Is it worrying having to think about the beasts and Tom, Elenna, Storm and as well the king and his people."

Aduro Answers: "I admit it is very challenging being a wizard sometimes. Protecting Avantia and serving the King is not always an easy task! However it is very rewarding and even though sometimes I do worry a bit, I know that Tom, Elenna, Storm and Silver have enough courage alone to defeat any beast they come across. Good will always overcome evil!"

Question 3: "Story: In the future will I (a random kid) become a hero like Tom and Elenna?"

Aduro Answers: "Wherever there is evil there is a hero destined to fight against it. In Avantia, or even in your land. Perhaps there is another boy or girl destined to be truly great, perhaps one day it will be you..."

Question 2: "What was it like to be hung high above a boiling pit of tar?"

Aduro Answers: "It's no fun at all, I give you my word! I wouldn't wish it upon any soul, not even Malvel."

Question 1: "Why don't you ever go and help Tom on his quests?"

Aduro Answers: "You might remember the jewel that hangs around my neck? With that jewel I see all over the kingdom, and I can see all that Tom does. I guide and help him the best I can, but Tom is the true hero and these are his Quests to conquer!"

Ask Aduro

The good wizard of Avantia is wise and mighty. Do you have a question only he can answer? Perhaps you would like to know what Beast Tom is most afraid of? Or what it feels like to be attacked by Hecton the Body Snatcher? Or perhaps how Aduro keeps his beard so bright and shiny?
