Chapter 4 – Identity Crisis
Serge
woke up, and slowly started to move. He pitched up both arms and yawned. "Boy…
that was a restless night…" Serge opened an eye and looked around.
It was
the Inn, just where he had fallen asleep, nothing new. A few bottles here,
another bed there… a note there-Serge stared at the note.
"That wasn't there… was it?" Serge questioned himself. He
got up and walked toward the note, he carefully picked it up and read the
envelope.
Serge
Wherever
he wants to be
Whenever
he wants to be
However
he wants to be
Serge opened the envelope and looked inside. Nothing! It was empty! Only the envelope had writing…
"Bonjour monsieur Serge!" Harle's voice echoed from one corner of the room. Serge turned around to see where the voice came from but nothing was there.
Confuzing? Oui! I can be very confuzing! Zis I what I like to call 'Harle'z mysterious voix-o-gram'! I am here Serge, just not ready to show myself…" Harle laughed.
Serge looked around. He caught a flicker out of the corner of his eye and cast [Photon Beam –1], it bounced off an invisible figure. "Harle, stop the tricks, please? Just tell me why you are here, and why do you keep bothering me???"
"You have found me… fair and Zquare. Serge… the time is… 2000…" Harle appeared, smiled, did a few backflips, and disappeared again.
"Harle? What do you mean '2000'? 20:00? It's only 6:00!" Serge yelled, but no reply. Suddenly, Serge heard a knock at the door. He stood, waiting. The knock turned to a bang, a louder bang, and Serge realized something was trying to break down the door. Serge, using his advanced perception skills, quickly jumped to the conclusion that it wasn't pretty. Serge jumped out the window…
The door bust open. "Stupid kids… havin' the goddamn heebie-jeebies, and they won't unlock the door," The Innkeeper sighed. "And look, the kid's gone now!"
Serge fell down, trying to grab a hold of something before he hit the water. It was a long drop from that window, and the bird flying above him wasn't much help. He hit the water with a humongous "SPLASH" and swam to shore. Serge sat up, and sponged out his shirt. He stood up and stared at the bluish-green water, as the small ripples started to form a pattern… a face…
Glenn awoke in semi-circular room. There were no windows, but a strange purple mist in the area seemed to give off light. Glenn slowly got off the ground and felt his head. It was there. It was a huge gash in his forehead, from the corner of his left eyebrow, to his hairline on his right side. He slowly put his finger over it. He let the warm blood slip through his finger, as it ran down his hand… he was too dazed to even realize, that out of the side of this strange room was a creature.
The creature stood on 4 legs. It's back legs inverted, and two humanoid arms with webbed fingers, as it's front legs. It's face looked like a panther's, but there were many deep scars, as if it had fought many well-armed warriors. It was covered all over with long, grey fur, aged by years of pain and torment. It had one more element to it. It's tail. The creature's tail was like a scorpion's, only barbed everywhere, and was pitch black.
"Glenn…" a strange growling sound came from the creature… "Glenn…". Glenn jumped around, only to see two red eyes staring at him.
"What…" Glenn trembled, "What do you want???"
"Glenn… have you ever questioned yourself…" The creature smirked at best it could. "Could you have had another life? Maybe you do not remember? Your pitiful life might've been exciting…". Glenn stepped back as he looked at the creature's distorted form, and it's wry smile.
"So… what… a-a-are you saying?" Glenn stopped. "Are you saying? I could've lived in another life? Another place and time?".
"No…. I mean you are not you… your memory has been reset by space and time." 'It' laughed maniacally.
"What?" Glenn asked. "I… show…. Bring me to this life…". Glenn was intrigued… after guarding Viper Manor for so long, he might actually get to be better… for the time being…
"To find out… you must kill it…" the Creature stood and waited, until suddenly, a figure appeared. A beautiful figure. Dirty-blonde hair… blue eyes… figured almost perfectly… a girl…
The girl stepped forward. "Kill it." Said the Creature. The room began to glow, all of the purple mist started speeding toward the devilish being. There was a brilliant flash, as the creature disappeared, and in it's place… was the Masamune?!? Glenn looked at the sword…
"The legendary sword?!? I will finally overpower my brother!" Glenn chuckled and picked up the sword. He looked at the girl and turned around. "BUT FIRST YOU MUST DIE!" Glenn screamed in a distorted voice. Glenn ran at the girl…
Serge fell down and grasped his heart… something was happening…
