The cat turned a corner and looked up at Fog. His eyes widened. " Wow, you got big, really big" Th small white cat was know roughly the size of a small horse and glowed like it was under a blacklight. It brushed affectionately against Fog's side, almost toppling him over. "get on" Fog shrugged and climbed onto the cat. They started forward in the direction of the hellgate opening. The closer they got, the more the world, began to swirl and distort. The dreamlands were a strange place, put that couldn't be good. THe photonegative world began to look less and less like the one it reflected. Finally they approached the place where the gate had opened. Fog Fell from the creatures back, He let out a hollow moan. The world here was not distorted, it had simply ceased to be, there was nothing. Not, a hole, not darkness, it just wasn't there. The yawning emptiness of oblivion. "Now you know why you were brought here." the cat spoke in a young woman's voice with an air of command. "The gate was open only for a few hours, and look what has happened. Slowly we are repairing the damage, we can make this place whole again, but it could take decades, maybe a century. There are more of these gates, Much bigger ones. You must help seal them." Fog shook his head slowly. "I can't do this, I'm not strong enough, and... I just can't. Just looking at that thing makes me feel so... hollow. It's horrible." The Cat twitched it's tail. "You will, because you must. There are few left like you, who can see the world behind the world. You, Fog, are the champion of the small gods. We have chosen you to be our protector, our ambassador to the physical world. Seek the Red Jackal and his Queen. You will serve them for now, for they surely seek the gates as well." Fog sighed. "I don't really have a choice here do I?" "No, not in the least. You will need more power to survive. You know how to get it." Fog backed away. "No, NO I'm not doing that again, It's going to drive me insane. it's addictive. What if I CANT STOP? It hurts you I won't subject any of you to that again." The Cat followed slowly. "I'm sorry, it is a necessary sacrifice. We need you, and those that die will not do so in vain." Fog broke into a run, the cat leaped and landed on him pinning him on his back. "You have been chosen, The choice is not yours to make." The Cat closed it's eyes and raised it's head, then unravelled into thousands of strands of light. Fog stood. Each strand condensed into a ball of bright light. "There are so many, how strong you must be, I thought you were just a cat." The balls began to orbit Fog, circling slowly. "No, your not going to do that are you. Don't, you don't want to die do you? There are so many, I don't think i can do this." The balls spun faster. "NO. PLEASE. STOP THIS" Spinning ever faster, the balls began to shoot inwards one at a time. With a flash of light they fused with him. Faster and faster, and then all of them at once. Fog awoke, falling off the railing and into the river. He hit the water with a crash and sank straight to the bottom. For a moment there was silence. Fog shot out of the water and landed heavily on the branch of an overhanging tree some ten feet in the air. He shook, his body steaming, his clothes torn. He raised his arms to the sky and screamed. several minutes passed. Fog dangled limply from the branch. "Damn them. I guess I start looking. |
