He sprang down from the platform and grasped her roughly by the arm, but scarcely had he touched her than I leaped between them. My short-sword, sharp and gleaming was in my right hand; I could have plunged it into his putrid heart before he realized that I was upon him; but as I raised my arm to strike I thought of Tars Tarkas, and, with all my rage, with all my hatred, I could not rob him of that sweet moment for which he had lived and hoped all these long, weary years, and so, instead, I swung my good right fist full upon the point of his jaw. Without a sound he slipped to the floor as one dead.
In the same deathly silence I grasped Dejah Thoris by the hand, and motioning Sola to follow we sped noiselessly from the chamber and to the floor above. Unseen we reached a rear window and with the straps and leather of my trappings I lowered, first Sola and then Dejah Thoris to the ground below. Dropping lightly after them I drew them rapidly around the court in the shadows of the buildings, and thus we returned over the same course I had so recently followed from the distant boundary of the city.
We finally came upon my thoats in the courtyard where I had left them, and placing the trappings upon them we hastened through the building to the avenue beyond. Mounting, Sola upon one beast, and Dejah Thoris behind me upon the other, we rode from the city of Thark through the hills to the south.
Instead of circling back around the city to the northwest and toward the nearest waterway which lay so short a distance from us, we turned to the northeast and struck out upon the mossy waste across which, for two hundred dangerous and weary miles, lay another main artery leading to Helium.

Good For You's Story
In 2006 Jeffrey Cobelli, an Emerson College graduate, started working his way into the movie, film, TV and video industry with 3 internships at post production companies that were editing high end commercials. The lessons learned from those editors were invaluable. But Jeffrey soon experienced some dicey freelance jobs directing low budget music videos. In 2008 Jeffrey was hired to film a humanitarian trip in the Dominican Republic and it changed his life (spiritually and professionally). Films and storytelling were the key.
Good for You Productions was founded in 2009 when Jeffrey Cobelli produced his first documentary, Someday Melissa.
Since then, Good for You has worked on everything from commercials, movies and documentaries, to testimonials, corporate videos, and social media videos.

At Good for You Productions, Natalie is able to marry her love for animation and film production to help tell the best stories she can. Fun Facts: Natalie loves Pixar, hiking, lists, and is a lifetime Girl Scout member.
