Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

Collapse of the Incubus

From a cliff Ken fell into a pool of lava. Then he was placed into a casket, which in turn was placed into a crypt. He was not dead. He lived! He lived! This was a nightmare and still he would not awaken! This nightmare had previously featured things that would have caused him to awaken and yet he hadn't. Once more he had gone through things that would have featured him to awaken and yet he hadn't. Yet always the Wendigo had been present in this nightmare. Always Howard had been present. Where was the Wendigo now? Where was Howard now?

Now in a laboratory that looked like it came out of a James Whale film of the 1930's, Ken saw Heidi strapped to an operating table. The Wendigo, Howard, was there as well.

"Big sister no escape! Annihilate! Dissever! Consume!"

"Howard, she's your sister! Stop this!" exclaimed Ken.

"No Howard anymore. Only Wendigo, only butcher! Wendigo want crisp flesh!"

"If you want Heidi then you will have to kill me first." Said Ken.

"Ken, don't! He will kill you!" exclaimed Heidi.

"T-That remains to be seen." Commented Ken, waiting for the Wendigo to act. "Well, beast, what is it?"

The Wendigo did not even stop to think. He just rushed forward, forcing Ken to the ground with its claws around his neck. With great strength, the Wendigo squeezed. Ken could actually feel the life leaving him.

But this was a nightmare! Such things could not be caused by a nightmare! This was all in his mind! Surely there was someway for Ken to stop this if this was all in his mind!

In the distant past his family had a coat of arms in Scotland! There had been a heraldic beast upon it! A wyvern!

As the face of the Wendigo grew ever closer to Ken's, his eyes started to see flashes of a red wyvern on a blue shield! Between the Wendigo's face and the shield the dream kept changing until finally the shield was all that Ken saw and off of that shield came the wyvern roaring like a caged animal that had been let loose.

After that Ken and Heidi were alone in an abbey. They embraced and kissed only for Ken to finally wake up to see Howard looking down on him.
