"Now as part two of my master plan, I will elicit a second grand reaction from you, and you will become so enthralled that you will answer all my questions. GENIUS, I SAY, GENIUS!"
"Danu must have blessed you with great amounts of beauty if you're also this dumb."
"You think I am beautiful. Oh, you dirty dog trying to seduce me like that."
"Women really only hear what they want to," I mutter under my breath.
Getting up, she says, "Now as part two of my part two of my plan allow me to dance on your spine and get all of the evil out of your body!"
"Really how cool, just let me assume the position-, HELL NO!"
"Why? Shouldn't such an opportunity be appealing to your beastlike senses, you dirty dog."
"Not a dog, and I don't like being stepped on by strange girls."
"So, you like being stepping on?"
Pausing for a moment, I say, "The idea of Minagrain sitting on my face is rather hot, but aside from that I don't care for such things."
With a shaky, and surprized voice, she says, "Mother was right all men really are wolves who aim to devour woman. How deplorable."
"Don't worry, I will make sure to spice and cook you before I chop you up into little fun-sized meals."
"I AM NOT A MEAL TO BE EATING, but if you're going to eat some shark meat it would be wise to soak it in some milk, so you can get rid of the smell that will cling to it after death."
"I see that would be a rather unpleasant experience. How are the levels of chemicals within your blood, anything I wouldn't want to devour?"
"Well, my mercury levels can get a bit higher than other animals, but if you are careful in your consuomptio-, WAIT A MINUTE, YOUR ARENT GOING TO EAT ME!"
Getting up, she says, "Mommy really was right. Mean are beasts who will not only devour your body, but your time, and soul as well. Truly foul beasts."
"Your mother is a crazy woman who deserves to get locked up."
"My mother is definitely crazy. Making me follow a bunch of nonsensical rules, but don't worry I will take revenge on her when she is old and senile. HAHAHAHAHA!"
"You should let your bloodline end with you. I think it would be good for the sake of the world."
"Enough of this talk, it is time to get back to my main goal."
She climbs ontop of the desk I am hiding under. Then she peers her hands down, which are rather frail, but have many callous on them. I feel sorry for the hands that have to be attached to a girl such as this, I can only imagine the abuse they have been put through.
Using her hands she starts to create shadow puppets, and then she says, "This is the tale, of why love conquerors all.
Once upon a time, there was a man who dwarfed humans, a Nephilim, and a woman who could see all of the world's secrets a Seer. They both led their races towards prosperity and soon became the kings of each of their people.
Their people were on opposite ends of the spectrum. The seers sought knowledge above all else, devoting their lives to observing the world, while the Nephilim held power and excitement above all else, and gave no mind to what was lost in the pursuit of it. So, they clearly fought again and again, as the Nephilim's nonsense led to the destruction of literature.
The two kings fought so much that they started spending large amounts of their time examining each other. They soon both became so utterly obsessed with their opponents that they moved past their hate and feel into utter love.
A harmonious time then came to be, where the seers taught the brutes to examine life in a more indebt fashion and seek more than just worldly pleasure. And the Nephilim taught the know it all's that examining life should not make you disconnected from it. It was an age of prosperity for all who lived.
They also spent many nights speaking of their love for each other.
'I know why I was given these eyes, was so I could embed every last inch of you within them.'
'I know why I was given this body, so I could guard every last bit of your body.'"
The girl then starts to clap her hands against each other again and again, which makes me chuckle a bit.
"But soon their individual gods came down towards their races, and asked them to go on a war of conquest against the god of the humans, and his people. But they eventually switched sides and joined the humans against their own gods.
Love had joined them, and they both knew that beings who loved should never be eradicated. So, they fought against their rulers and drove them to destruction.
In the aftermath of such a war, they were the largest group outside of the humans to survive. So, they went and founded a joint nation of love in the most dangerous ocean on the planet.
This empire was a pillar of love that would stand for the unity of all races, and the two lovers were happier than the messiah himself. But sadness comes to all things that live in this world.
The great empire had a rule to fight any other entity that tried to enforce itself on the love of others and clashed with the church of the messiah and other countries due to this on multiple occasions.
They had gone to war again, and again. Piling up bodies, and soon from those corpses that had been left around. A demon strung forth, one of the demons the church referred to as a king. It slaughtered many before it was banished to the depths again, but the worst thing it did was infect both kings with individual plagues the two kings.
She was plagued with a short life, and he was plagued with madness.
The seer had always had a dream, to see the stars before her long life came to an end. But sadly, even with all the advances the seers had made she was unable to do such a thing, and lamented this intensely.
But her husband wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, and in his madness, he made countless projects to try and build a tower to the sky. But each and every one of them failed, again and again.
Soon he almost bankrupted the country, and to support his projects the once peaceful nation had become cruel warmongers so they could find enough treasure and people to accomplish this mission.
But it was all to no avail, so the king of the Nephilim turnt to another method. He had decided to devour his own kind, and with each Nephilim, he devoured he grew bigger and bigger and bigger until he could reach for the stars himself.
So, he grabbed his dying wife and stared into her eyes, then said, "My eyes, my mind, my heart, my wisdom, my stars, my wife. I won't allow you to return to the heavens without your eyes getting to see a beauty that is only eclipsed by yours."
He prepared to lift her into the skies to there at the great stars, but then the spicy food he ate early that day came back to strike him and the Nephilim sneezed knocking his wife out of his hands and sending her plummeting to her death. THE END!"
Bursting out in laughter, I say, "WHAT KIND OF ENDING WAS THAT!"
But then I quickly cover my mouth and say, "Dammit!"
"I WIN! Now as the loser of our bet, it is your job to answer my question."
"Fine, go ahead?"
"Ok now little silver wolf, tell me what is bothering you? And no lying or I will curse you with impotence for the rest of your life!"
"Fine. To put it simply I got in a fight with my brother and feel like this now."
Pushing her body against the other side of the desk I am under she says, "Why did this fight start, where you may be jealous of this 'brother'?"
Erratically, I say, "Jealous me of him? You must be joking? Unlike him, I am not an asshole who goes around attacking his friends because he had a bad day, then using my words to hit them where he hurts. Fuck him, he is just jealous of me like the stupid Fir Bolg he is!"
"Don't say things that make you feel sad. I happen to be a nobody so you can just say the truth, I have been honest so all I ask for is that in return."
Collecting myself, I take a breath in and out then I say, "I don't know the reason why the fight started. He seemed deeply upset about something that had been bothering him, but I couldn't even figure out the reason as to why.
I have been so preoccupied with my own issues that I didn't even bother to check on the person who supports me the most. I have never seen him so sad, and the fact that I allowed that to happen bothers me."
"But the sadness could be simply due to his own circumstances how does that say anything about you?"
"Because I never thought I could make my brother feel like this, and now he might not want to stand by my side anymore," I say on the verge of tears
"Hundreds of people could stand by your side at your beck and call so why is he so important?"
"He is my first friend, the one person I never thought would not support me. But now I have allowed that bond to crumble, if I cannot even handle that bond how can I handle this kingdom?"
"Me and my mother get into fights a lot, but I think the times those fights hurt the most is when she says something that hits me in a sensitive spot. Especially if it was unintentional because it means this part of myself I am ashamed of is so clear that she could pick up on it without me knowing."
Hearing her words, I calm up a bit and struggle to speak, but she says, "Don't force it out, let is flow just like water."
"I don't think I have ever doubted myself as much as I currently have, and with him leaving I think it has gotten worse. In all honesty, I don't know if I am as great as all the people think I am, and now it feels like all the things I wish for have become suffocating, I truly am the worst."
"Hey, I think you are one of the most big-headed people I know."
Getting slightly annoyed, I say, "What kind of thing is that to say to someone who is upset?"
"It's the truth you big baby. To think that all of the issues and suffering of those around you is your fault is nothing but arrogance and pride, my mother feels like that as well, but I can assure you most of my problems come from things that she has nothing to do with, and I am sure the same is true for you."
"So, I am just supposed to not care and let him get through it himself."
"No, don't take too much or too little blame, find the right amount. It's far harder, but it helps the people around you much more than any other method."
"That actually good advice, I didn't expect it from a person like you."
"Well, I am the pretty little girl in the empire."
"After having a talk with you I retract my earlier statement, you must be hideous."
"How rude."
Soon she moves her entire body in front of me and says, "Well how do I look?"
She has light purple hair, and two blue eyes that look like gems, her face is round like a bun, and the shark characteristics on her body are very transparent.
But strangle the more I look at her face the more familiar her very presence feels. This feeling soon keeps growing and growing until I say, "You have a very punchable face."
"HEY WHO SAYS THAT TO A LADY!"
"I don't know the more I look at you the more I just want to fight you."
"You brute! Well whatever, because I am sure my future husband will like my face and I don't care for what you think. BLEH!" she says while sticking out her tongue.
Culainn coming from the back of the store says, "Uathach your shoes are here sorry I took me so long."
"No problem, please just keep this away from my mother."
With a visibly happy smile, Culainn says, "I Promise."
She grabs her shoes, and says, "Love ya old man!"
Culainn looks happier at her comment than any other time I have seen him.
Uathach starts to move away and as she does, I ask, "Hey was that really the ending to the story of the two lovers?"
"I may have changed the ending for comedic effect."
"Then will you tell me what really happened?"
Moving extremely close she says, "If we ever happen to meet again, but for now goodbye Wolfie."
She runs off and as she does, I feel a certain degree of calmness in my soul and I say, "Culainn I think I have cleared my head. I will be ready to go tomorrow."
"Good to hear."
