Epilogue
A Sign of Things to Come 2

Ok, here's the epilogue to Doom and Dispair.... I have nothing else to say? How unbelievable. Enjoy, it's short.

I stroke one hand thorugh my light, pastel blue hair as I wait impatiently for Kimiko to return with her report, and mayhaps, a bite to eat. Rainia ruffles her feathery wings.
"Anxious to be off as well, my comerade?" I say in standard Tessian.
Rainia growls a bit. The translator on her left fore-paw clicks, then buzzes as it translates in its monotonic, robotic voice. "What is taking her so long? This is not like her..."
"Patience. Perhaps she ran into... trouble." We both laugh at what would happen to the cause of the trouble.
We both hear the flap of Kimiko's leathery wings at the same time that she lands. She drops three whole moose-sized animals with blue fur on the ground. The blood from the creatures completely coated Kimiko's white scales and huge, white, bat-like wings.
"Great work, snake-eyes. One for each of us." Rambles Rainia's translator.
Kimiko snarls and her translator, also on her left fore-claw, repeats, "Tobia, I have retreived your Oet."
"Excellent, hand it to me." Kimiko strains her almost useless right fore-claw andreleases a small, wooden rod into the palm of my right hand. "And what of Contin?"
"He tried to stop me." Kimiko explains simply in primal, guttural noises.
"I have good news," I state, "I have located another. we shall leave after our snack." I replace my Oet in the pouch on the belt around my waist. I extend my claws and lift up the carcass of the smallest one. It is as large as me. Kimiko and Rainia were al ready digging into theirs. "...Then the fun will truly begin."

There, short and not sweet. I just ran out of Coke, guess I'll have to resort to Sprite. *Sigh*. We all now where my talent really comes from, caffeine addiction. See ya in the 3rd Ronin fic. C&C always appreciated. Ta!
