"So to me, your selling a incomplete package."
Down by the lake with sea serpent, a lazy fall day was coming to it's zenith. The sun high overhead gazed merrily in stripes of gold through the tree. I was sitting along the waters edge playing with my paws in the water, not seeming to give a damn about the subject matter. And the truth, maybe I didn't...
The lady stayed about three feet away in the water, with a smile on her face.
"Happiness at the step of a foot? Bah, there is no such thing."
"So you don't trust what you see with your eyes"
The snake lady pointed to the staircase. It did seem to be shining rather brightly.
I hung my head.
"I've led an interesting life, you know?"
"Ahhh, so you've come to doubt your senses."
"I've come to know that the one who will manipulate them the most will be me."
"But are you smarter for that knowledge?"
"Am I? You seemed to know the others rather well."
"You don't let yourself wander about your past."
"Are you stating a fact, or are you saying you can only read minds?"
"You long ago lost you trust in the world"
"I didn't lose it, the world did."
"Maybe you didn't trust it long enough..."
"Maybe, but then maybe that wasn't blood coming out of those 3 holes in my stomach"
"4 holes"
"I obviously wasn't paying attention at the time."
"Well, maybe you would have noticed the doctor who worked all night to take them out"
"I did notice him"
"And broke his arm when came near you with a knife."
I smiled.
She smiled.
"F*** You"
She stopped smiling.
I then looked her in the eye. I was still smiling.
I think she got the picture I was sending her, because she turned into a large serpent thingy and roared at me.
I lost no ground. Her bitch breath didn't even scare me.
I raised my paw smacked her as hard as I could. She slammed into the water.
“I don’t need your paradise, b****."
She slid into the water and the stairway disappeared.
I walked away, back into the woods. The sun still gleamed down in massive rays of wondrous melted butter. In fact it seemed brighter now, to me.
You may call me stupid, but I have my reasons, that wasn't harmony. It couldn't be, all logic aside. Everything I said and knew aside. I walked into the cave. I had given it up.
It was all a lie then. No one payed attention to the rumors. Harmony, and place Halfers could go to get away from this world. A place where humans...
I bushed a tear from my eye. I started the walk faster. I had to find... I had to...
I brushed past rocks and boulders, my pace picking up...
I knew, oh, I knew that it couldn't be.
I found them and crashing through the last bit of cave and I came upon them at last.
I may have been the last to go, but I was there all along. I found Ennis and Kai.
They both stared at me. Still as a post.
I stepped over and gathered the both of them in my arms, and with one one each side hugged them.
Long have the natives symbolized the bear with the power of the greatest warrior and the peace of the greatest chiefs. But the bear is most defensive of it's own, it's family. The bear is a symbol of great love. I could not leave two behind. I believe I understood the rumors better than the others. harmony was a place of love. To say that a simple sin would transgress that love would be to expose it as perverse.
I held the two tightly, no, these had done nothing wrong.
"Zar... can't...breathe..."
I relaxed and let them down.
Not only had these not done anything but really, to go up anyway would be to say I'm better than them.
This coming from a guy who likes deer heads.
Uncooked.
========================================================================
Does he have a point? what do you think?
Btw, Zar's a badass, did you guess?
