Jack would have been a guide with the forestmen about ten years ago by this timeline... which would have been in his mid to late twenties, age wise (he's mid to late thirties now, exact age unknown because he's an orphan). Does Voolmark often try to whip students at that age?Lord_Of_The_LEGO wrote: At that moment Voolmark broke in. "No...it can't be...lil' Jacky!"
Jack's eyes widened. "Brix and blox, it's me old schoolmaster Voolmark! Just for your information, it wasn't me who wrote 'Jack is King!' all over your spell books, sir, I swear!"
Voolmark grinned, "Heh, that point could be disputed, Jack, but alas you left before I could get you with my rod, and yer not my pupil anymore, so I guess it would be improper to whip you now!"(and perhaps more interesting-- would Jack be vandalizing spell books at that age?
)
Remember-- part of his character history is that he never spent more than a couple of years in the same place or doing the same thing.
Hmm... maybe Voolmark was the scholar who taught him how to read and write twenty years before they ran into each other again on the Forested Isle (about thirty years ago all told?)? Yes, I can see that. Voolmark was Jack's teacher when he was really young, say, age six-ish or seven-ish, and then Jack ran away to another foster home, and they didn't run into each other again until Jack was an learning to be a guide with Bjarn many years later. That will work just fine with the characters as is, and no need to make any changes.
Ahh, the perils of continuity...
Who said anything about ten years ago. I t could have been 20. Unless I missed something in a post no one said 10, 15 ,or 20.
