Fall of Two Worlds: Dark Days
The Mo'ka
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Who. Who are you?" I asked scared, the strange creatures continued to circle me and the figure in front was a complete mystery. I couldn't see any features and he blurred if I looked directly at the thing. I readied for combat but wasn't sure if I would be any threat against this thing and the creatures. I waited a moment watching the blurring creature, it made a coughing noise like it was preparing for something. Then, silence again. I tilted my head but the blurring continued and I looked away, toward the demonic creatures crawling and hissing.
"I am a member of a age old group, the Mo'ka." The figure finally said, in an old, hoarse voice. It was male sounding but had a female background, like it had two voices together. "Or in your language, a Keeper of Peace and Order in Time and Space." The figure said.
"So a Time Lord?" I asked. Looking at the figure full on, ignoring the blur.
"No, they do not exist. Us Mo'ka keep the balance in the multiverse and stop anything in the Balance from failing." The figure replied. I looked to the creatures again. "Feeders, they follow those who are out of the Balance and feed on their mana energy." I had absolutely no idea what the (b)uck was going on but I just stood and listened.
"What does that mean for me?" I asked.
"Unbalance."
"In what?"
"Time. You shouldn't be here, or in your current status."
"Which is?"
There was a small pause and the blurring increased.
"Death." So that proves it, I was dead, again! Bollocks.
"What is the Balance?" I asked.
"The Balance is what the Mo'ka call either the Mo'kai, the good, or the Do'kai, the bad or Unbalanced. If you have Mo'kai, nothing is wrong with the multiverse and everything is going along it's natural timeline. However if a God or supernatural being gets hold of time powers or ways of ripping apart the void between the Multiverse, then you have Do'kai, Unbalance. The Feeders then appear following those Unbalanced few and feed of their mana energies, not hurting them, but taking the mana which is used for Ka'Bringy or 'Magic', The Feeders help us Mo'ka to search out and find the Unbalanced and change time to correct it. Many planets and universes without the use of magic is due to said Unbalances, the people have become so out of the natural timeline that Feeders have taken all Magical energy. A place for example is on 'Earth'. They are constantly Unbalanced and must be corrected nearly all the time."
"What is wrong with me then?" I asked, wanting every possible answer I could get from this strange figure. The Feeders began to howl a little and scattered for no apparent reason, to to reform in their little circle and crawl round me again.
"You are Unbalanced by the happenings of your timeline. Since the leak between universes opened and this 'Wild Magic' you call bleed into you, you have been. You were born human Haze, not pony. I cannot undo everything of the Unbalance but I can bring you back for your fight against destruction. Haze, you will not remember this, nor anything about your old life. Your friends have taken that so you may stay but hear me." The figure said, looking more ghost like. I nodded. "There is a war coming between universes Bright Haze, and use Mo'ka are powerless against it. Your Gods have opened a rip through the universes and the other side are preparing for war. They have vast technology better than yours, but Haze. With your 'Wild Magic' you can save your home. But you must make a choice. Either way, one planet will fall. And the Balance shall of been returned. You cannot save everyone Bright Haze, many friends will die before this day, but you must make the choice between the two worlds. Only then, can you save your world, your home." The figure vanished, along with the 'Feeders' and I was left alone again, plunged into darkness.
"But why are you telling me this if I won't remember?" I called into the dark at where the figure had, been? Stood? Sat?
Only an echo replied.
"Your memories shall return when the time is needed for them Haze. But only then." With that I collapsed and remembered no more.
