[link] Groaning, I rose to my feet unsure of who I was and where I was. Looking about I found myself in some sort of strange lab. Staggering out of the lab and out of the house it was attached to, I found myself in a strange world.
Listen to me, a voice whispered in my head.
You must go to the WTGR."But why?" I asked, looking wildly about. "Who are you?"
My name is Nogard, the voice replied quietly.
Your answers will be in the deaths of three people: Chazu, Koopa, and Skully. And then if you should find the half breed Shalimar, then destroy her. It is she who put you in this state.
Ti dio kiil! [1] another voice growled.
Yex u ywuv! Xma ex ywehpetl dio rehp xma sa! Xma ex AZER![2]
I am afraid our mutual friend does not speak our language, Nogard replied to the other voice.
Now silence!Nothing from the other voice.
"Who was that?"
No one of consequence. Now off with you to the WTGR.The morning after[link] Transforming back to my human form, I winced as I felt the hole that that stupid Shalimar had left at the base of my neck. Already I could feel the skin beginning to sew itself up, but there was going to be a scar. At least I did not have that stupid heavy chain to contend with.
You failed to kill any of them."No! Wait! I didn't expect the child to be that strong!"
She is only TWO MONTHS OLD!Wincing at the power behind the shout, I said, "She's stronger than she appears!"
Ymuy ex sc Xmurrdpetx! [3] the voice from last night said proudly.
No one asked you. Nogard hissed.
Now begone!Like last night, no response from the other voice.
I will give you one last chance before I kill you, my friend."Anything," I replied. I had a sneaking suspicion that even if I did fail, this Nogard person had no power to destroy me without destroying herself. There was no basis for this feeling, I just suspected it.
Go back to the house you woke up in and go into the lab. We shall go from there.4 hours later EditScratching at my leg, I carefully combined a couple of chemicals per Nogard's instructions. Fustrated, I set the beakers down before I accidentally caused any explosions and raked my nails up and down my arms and legs.
"These blasted clothes itch like crazy!"
[4]Ti ymad ji tiy. [5]
Leave her alone and begone! My dear friend, if you wish for other clothes, I know where the owner of this house keeps her gold stashed so you can go shopping."Very well," I replied, still scratching at my arms and legs.
A few hours later, I had the outfit that I liked that did not itch and began my work again. Twirling my hair around, I stuck a pair of needles into it to keep it off of the back of my neck.
