Chapter 3-Relfections
Year:???
The gate opened, and to the man's horror, there was no ground beneath his feet! If he had the energy to muster a shriek, he would've but instead merely plunged down onto a rough dirt surface in the midst of a humid jungle like setting.. His right leg had landed on a pile of pointed rocks and it pulsed with pain. He tried to move it, halted, and then laid backwards in disgust. He didn't know where he was, he didn't know exactly how he got here, and he had absolutely no idea how he was going to get out of this mess.
The man began to ramble on a speech that at times were interrupted by uncontrollable periods of shrieking; sometimes out of pain and others out of frustration. He wasn't certain if the words that were forming were coming out of his mouth or merely dancing away in his head and quite frankly he didn't care.
"Crono, Crono, Crono…The worst string of syllables ever to exist, ever to enter my magnificent ears. Crono, despite what some people might say, despite the fools who worship you like you were some sort of deity on earth, you are a reckless, bloodthirsty demon out to fulfill your own desires and ego! You say that your actions are justified, you run about thinking that you're a hero, your little mind registers it all as an act of balancing out time, but all the while all you do is run about destroying other dreams. You think that you 'touch' the lives of all the people that you meet, but rather you change them, destroy them, or taint them! Yes..yes…taint. Who are you? What were you thinking when you destroyed the Reptites simple dream of living on Earth? What were you thinking when you destroyed the Mother board? Or gave the last seedling to the humans in the future? Didn't it ever occur to you that just maybe dinosaurs were meant to rule the planets or that perhaps robots were in fact destined to enslave humanity or that humanity was meant to starve off? I hope that you know, that you caused every time ripple in this universe. If you wouldn't have picked up that pendent and gone through time, one simple alteration would be made. Then nobody would have ever managed to gather data on Time Travel and our world would flow on naturally, leaving one freakish accident. You caused Lavos just as you brought on what I did to the world, you, you…"
A chorus of roars echoed from the area just behind the man. Deeply disturbed he attempted to turn around but found it well too difficult. He wrestled his arm to try and reach his staff, but alas, it could not reach. He began to scream out in mortal terror, and suddenly, he saw above him a gang of Heckren circled around him. Heckren were a species of massive beasts with deadly claws and fangs and a violent nature. Suddenly, one lashed out at the man's stomach, and his mind racing, he realized that this might be it, that this might be the end for him…
The cries echoed late into the afternoon.
