Welcome gang. Here is my new story. Enjoy.
A Last Visit
Lion-O starred at Zuvowang. Blind. Blind for the last fifteen years now! Lion-O had been there all of the ThunderCats had been when Zuvowang lost his sight.
Zuvowang was sitting in a chair before a ruined temple. A group of Evabon had turned the ruins of an old city into their home. While it no longer looked like ruins it still didn't look like a city that wasn't in ruins.
Zuvowang's blind eyes had a dull look in them. Not even knowing Lion-O was standing before him, Zuvowang just sat in his chair thinking of poetry.
"Is he in there?" The sudden sound of Lion-O's voice caused Zuvowang to turn his head upwards.
"Who?"
"Gard." Zuvowang nodded. Lion-O opened the doors of the temple and walked into it.
It was dark in the temple. Whoever had made this city had not been the kind to like windows. There was a small fire over at the left side resulting in only a little bit of light. From the right of the temple, Lion-O heard some coughing. Lion-O turned his head and lying in a corner with only a little bit of light showing his body was Gard. The old savage sat up and looked over at Lion-O. Half of his face was in shadow and the other half was in the firelight.
"You have no idea how agonizing terminal illness is for one who's immortal." Gard starred long and hard at Lion-O. His blind eye was the one in the firelight, causing the white eye to look otherworldly. "It's either I die of this illness or I go out there and face that challenger outside. I still don't know how he survived having four statues of evil spirits fall on top of him." Gard coughed and lied down again. "Are you all out there?" Lion-O didn't say anything. "I'll take that as a no."
"Actually I'm shocked to you like this and they are out there." Lion walked over to Gard and kneeled next to him. "Which will you choose? The illness or the challenger?"
"I'd rather not choose either." Gard breathed only to start coughing again. "I've had a long life, Lion-O. I've found many members of my family, the first of which was Balor. New family members have been born, I won't be Balor alone when I die. But still I will die from both the illness and wounds inflicted by the challenger." Gard sat up and looked at Lion-O. "I have you and your friends to thank Lion-O. When we first met the world viewed me and my people as monsters but now we're seen as people, not things."
