Breath of Who?
Chapter 1 – A Fragile Peace and an Imperiled Oracle
It was two years after it happened. After the Yosrae Dragon was reunited, and the animosity between the Western Fou Empire and the Eastern Kingdoms was resolved. The six who'd made it happen were on a reunion trip together. Much had changed. Cray and Nina were engaged, and rumor spoke of a possible "United Kingdom" resulting, as Cray was the Chief of the Worren, and Nina, being the only heir, would eventually become Queen of Windia. Ursula had been promoted to General in the Western Empire, and was one of the top officers of the provisional government. She and Scias, formerly an officer of the Kingdom of Luda, also led in the reconstruction of Chedo, which had been decimated by A-Tur, a demon that Fou-Lou commanded. Ershin, the enchanted armor that held the Goddess Deis, had a job as a magic advisor in Windia. Lastly was Ryu. He was the Yosrae dragon. He had to deal with the emotional memories from that whom fused with him, Fou Lou, even though Ryu remained dominant. And though he wished to, he could not entirely sever his ties to the dragons.
The group entered the town of Chek. Chek was rumored to be a village entirely of children, but that just showed the ignorance of the outside world, an ignorance that also served as protection. It was really a town of the most powerful sorcerers, priests and summoners.
A "boy" in a yellow robe rushed to them as they walked through a stone gateway. "Thank the Gods you are here. The Abbess needs you! She awaits in her home!"
"Things can not be good, according to Deis," said Ershin.
"Is there another threat?" asked Nina.
"It would appear so!"
The group, led by Ryu, ran through the town to the Abess' house.
"We meet again, but not as I hoped," said the Abess.
"We were told that all is not well," noted Ryu.
"And all is not well," said the Abess. "As you may know, there are many worlds, many planes, and many existances."
"What do you mean?" asked Cray.
"You have been to the land of the Faeries, their home is not in the same land as we are, but the Faeries have the power to drag others into their world."
"So are the faeries up to something?"
"They are innocent. And it is not a god nor a dragon, either. A tear has appeared in the fabric of Reason!"
"REASON?" asked the group in unison.
"Reason is what keeps the worlds and planes apart. When gods and dragons are summoned, there is a momentary lapse of reason. The Faeries have long since been able to open up a path to our lands. But now some force far more sinister has come in."
"Would the Oracle of the Wind know?" asked Nina.
"Do not go to her," warned the Abess. "No matter how quickly you reach her, she will soon die. Her stream of life will crash upon the rocks of death!"
"HOW?" asked Nina.
"The visitor. The visitor who is both alive, and not alive. In some ways similar to Ershin, but in other ways, not!"
"A-a-a-a-a-another enchant-chant-chanted armor?" asked Scias.
"In a way, yes," replied the Abbess. "And in another way, no!"
"And what is this enemy?" asked Ursula. "I will fight…"
"It is too early and too dangerous! What you must do is hurry to Windia."
"But the oracle?" asked Nina.
"The oracle cannot be saved," replied the Abbess.
------------------------------
In a hut in the northern end of the Kask Woods, an aged winged woman was sitting on a chair, and listening to the birds through an open window. There was a knocking at the door. "Come in," she intoned.
The door flew open, and in came a group of bandits in rags and bowler hats. A mixture of chains, clubs, and knives were their choice of weapons.
"Hey babootchka, we've come to schvat your cutter, but our boss wants you!"
"Leave!"
"I don't think so!"
"I am the Oracle of wind!"
"We are the best shaika there is. Droogs, attack!"
A couple of them rushed towards her. She held out a hand. "Cyclone!" Wind picked up and threw the bandits in different directions. "Leave or I'll use a Typhoon!"
"YOU WILL NOT!" ordered a voice that was slightly nasal, scratchy, and distorted. "You will cease your resistance and comply, or you will be EXTERMINATED!"
"Show yourself," she ordered. A strange metal form appeared. It seemed somewhat cylindrical, with a rounded top and a flared bottom. It was made of metal, and covered in bumps. It had a stock with an eye on it at the top, as well as two other arms, one that seemed to end with a gun, the other with something that, on other worlds, would be known as a "toilet plunger." "Are you another god trapped in armor?
"Negative. But as far as you are concerned I am a god. I AM DALEK CAAN! I AM SUPERIOR, YOU ARE INFERIOR! YOU WILL OBEY!"
"I will NOT obey!" She held out a hand towards it, and shouted "SEVER!" A small tornado swirled around it, and it shook. A forcefield flashed.
"THAT IS INNEFECTIVE!" declared the Dalek. "The bandits will not kill you as long as you OBEY!"
"What do you want?"
"I require information about this world."
"You did not have to burst…"
"You will kneel!"
"But why.."
"KNEEL!" barked the metallic entity. She did so, and it came towards her.
"Now what do you wish to…"
"VOCALIZATION WILL NOT BE NESSESCARY! ELECTRO-STIMULATION PROBING WILL COMMENCE!" It came up to her, and shoved the plunger at her face. The plunger started pulsating, and she convulsed on the spot. She also screamed. A few moments later the plunger retracted. Her head was smoking, and her body fell lifeless.
"You didn't have to oobivat her, she obeyed, didn't she?" asked one of the bandits.
"Neither did I need her alive. All that I must know I do know now. There are forces, magical forces, that I now have. Dalek supremacy will be established!"
"I just vidied what you did to her and that's NOT RIGHT!" shouted another bandit, as he rushed towards Caan.
"EXTERMINATE!" shouted Caan, before aiming his gun-arm, and firing a blue laser at him. He collapsed to the ground. All the others ran off. "THEY ARE NO LONGER NESSESCARY," stated Caan. "There is a weapon called the Carronade. They intend to destroy it. That shall not occur. DALEK SUPREMACY ABOVE ALL ELSE!"
---------------------------
The Abbess shuddered. "It has happened," she said.
"You must not delay. Either you go to Windia, or tradgedy will arrive there first!"
"Lets do it," stated Cray. The others cheered in agreement.
To be continued…
The group had no problem against Fou-Lou or the various demons. But now we have a new threat, a Dalek. "We would destroy the Cybermen with ONE Dalek," can the group have any success. And, is there any other hope? Who else may have come in through the lapses of Reason?
