The End of All Things
In the Dark of the Night...
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI have never felt more violated in my life. When the Cycle begins, nurse Redheart's death will be slow and painful. But regardless, I have been left alone in this room; she left to get the creature that would 'adopt' me. While I was alone, I decided to see if my divine connection was still active. I focused my magic into the usual Ten points, and felt as if my body was once more what it used to be. And, I spoke.
"Drak, whose realm is beasts, I summon you from Eternity. Here my call, and come foreward" In front of me, an apparition of a dragon appeared.
"Amiin. I am here. Speak your reason for commanding me." He said to me telepathically.
"As the god of beasts, you hold a passive connection to all the creatures where you are, correct." It wasn't really a question. Before he responded, he turned his head towards the door, and blew a stream of spectral fire at it, effectively sealing it and giving us privacy. He turned back to me before responding.
"What is this about Amiin?"
"As god of death, the Cycle is my responsibility. However, I do not know what lies ahead of me in this world. You will tell me what creatures inhabit this world." He took an unusually long time to answer.
"Hmmmm, no. I was going to say something, but he silenced me with his palm raised. "This is your mission and punishment, Amiin. I cannot help you. However, I can tell you the dominant species on this rock."
And so he went on explaining them to me. Many of the sapient species are similar, or the same as the familiars of the other gods. This will be the most confusing experience ever. "Thank you Drak, you are freed from my summons" He faded out at that, and with him, the seal on the door; and at the right time too, as nurse soon-to-be-bleeding-heart walked through.
"Alright, Amiin. Your papers are all filled out, if you will please follow me." She said while looking down at her clipboard.
The great thing about receiving a new body that has developed past infancy, is that you inherit the muscle memory. As that was the case, walking, even as a quadruped, was no trouble at all. Getting off the bed, however, was. After picking myself off the ground and rubbing my nose slightly, I followed the nurse; all while focusing just enough magic in my feet hooves to leave a groove in the floor, wherever I stepped. After consistent walking in silence, on my part, we eventually made it to the main desk, where there was a lavender colored unicorn. I also noticed, like Drak said there were, a dragon upon her back. Were dragons domesticated here? Was Drak wrong in saying they were sapient? I have so many questions. The dragon, seeing me, hopped off her back and walked towards me, causing me to take a single step back. The dragon, however, just looked me over, and nodded.
"Cool, names' spike by the way. I guess were going to be living together." This wasn't the first time I heard a dragon speak, but it still unnerved me all the same. "Come on, its raining outside, so lets find you a coat." He said while gesturing me to follow him.
"Yes, that would be best." This day has just been getting stranger and stranger.
