Chapter 25
The mirror of Saladriel
The
Jelloship was asleep. A glowing figure in a flowing dress walked by
them. Lardo woke up with a start. "Spam? What are you doing?"
Spam
took the dress off and ran back to bed.
Saladriel then glided
past Lardo. "Follow me…" she said. Lardo followed. Saladriel
descended to a glade and filled a silver pitcher with water from a
stream. She stood before an ornate stand with a shallow silver basin
upon it. The Lady turned towards Lardo. "Will you look into the
mirror, Lardo?"
"Will I see you?"
"Probably
not…"
"Alright. What will
I see?"
"Even the wisest cannot tell. For the mirror…
shows many things…" she began to pour the pitcher into the
basin. "…things that were… things that are… and some
things… that have not yet come to pass."
Lardo looked into
the basin of water. He saw the Mean Mime Inn. It started to be
pummled by sausages and the Inn burst into flames. "Hmmm…"
Lardo said. All sorts of nasty, bad crap appeared before Lardo's
eyes. He looked up to Saladriel, "This is dumb! Why do you have
this? This is dumb!" The Eye of Moron filled the mirror. Lardo
pulled back and fell down on his fat butt.
Saladriel stared at
Lardo creepily, "I know what it is you saw, for it is also in my
mind."
"Creep!" Lardo yelled."
"It is what
will come to pass if you should fail. The Jelloship is breaking: it
is already begun. He will try to take the Doughnut. You know of whom
I speak. One by one, it will destroy them all."
"Do you
want the Doughnut? I don't! I'll give it to you!"
"Boy,
do I!"
The
next morning Spam woke up and Lardo was staring at him strangely. "I…
It wasn't what it looked like."
Lardo held the Doughnut in
his hand.
"Why are you holding the Doughnut? Why isn't it
down your pants?"
"I was talking to Saladriel last
night."
"Did she try to take the Doughnut from you?"
"No,
she went all freaky and called her self the dark queen and… yeah…
It was pretty freaky."
"Hm… Weird."
"Yeah, weird."
