The Prince is Dead, Long Live the Prince
Somewhere deep within the bleak darkness that the disembodied spirits of the dead sometimes dwell. Two such souls converse about death and dying.
"There are those that would have the masses believe that death is the end. That after a life of such wonder and splendor there is nothing. There are even more who believe that they shall spend the rest of eternity in a paradise or burning in an inferno. If only time were so simple..."
"Listen you said you'd explain how I died, that's all I want to know about. All this other shit your babbling about I really don't care about, just tell me what the hell is goin' on!!" Prince's voice rang out in the darkness.
"To know what happened to yourself, you must first know why it happened. You see, time isn't something that will just end, there shall be no armageddon, or apocalypse, or ragnorak, or whatever other name is given to time's ending. Time is as easy to manipulate as a deck of cards, it is nothing more than a powerful magik. There was one from our land who traveled to the place of the unmagikal and was looked upon as a messiah. His teachings speak of the alpha and omega; those foolish simpletons thought he spoke of the creator, but what he meant was the magiks that power everything. When a soul leaves its shell, whether mortal or otherwise, it becomes energy and joins the celestial machine that creates the magik that controls everything.
Through out the history of time there have been those that have been able to retain their conscious mind during this metamorphosis. That magician would later return to man's world on several occasions, each time becoming more and more disenchanted with man's lack of interest in his magiks.
Like yourself, I have retained my thoughts due to the glass ring you held before your death..."
"Wait a minute, your telling me that I'm here cause of that damn ring...""Yes you are. At the moment of you death your conscious mind was retained in the ring with every other mind that has ever held it. It essentially split your soul in two, allowing a part to join the magiks and the rest to one day live again."
"What, you mean I'm goin' to live again?""Eventually, we both will."
"What do you mean?""Your death will serve a much greater purpose than you could ever imagine. After you left the Goose lady's house you simply returned home. As you walked through the door, you were hit behind the head with a rather dense object and was knocked unconscious. Your body was then taken to a special place, a safe place. While there you were sacrificed. You were given an ancient powder that hasn't been used in several centuries. It separates the soul from the body without actually killing the cells within the body. Your soul departed and your body awaits to be occupied by another."
Cindy sits within the office of the Three Pigs Detectives explaining to the three brothers how important one young girl is to the survival of everything. Cindy explains how her real name is Miracle Shuemaker and that she changed it after a childhood of being teased by others calling her 'Miracle Shoe'. She explains how a simple night out with friends changed her life.
"Me and some friends," Cindy continues and is quickly interrupted by Jay.
"Were these bitches you were with hot and slutty, or chubby tubbies?"
Before Cindy can even answer, Ben raises his voice at his brother, "Jay, shut up. NOW!!"
"What? Captain Inspector Holmes, I'm tryin to get a mental picture of this bitch with her bitches so we can find this other bitch. Just shut the fuck up and let the bitch tell us how they were rubbin and touchin on each other titties, like these bitches like to do and when my shit gets hard, I'll find any bitch you want. You know, my patented pussy radar never fails," Jay says as he grabs his genitals.
"You mean unlike the time you thought that the prostitute you picked up was really a six foot six Amazonian warrior princess, with hormone problems, right?" Bob questions.
Jay looks severally hurt moments before he slaps Bob in the face and says, "Fuck you. You tubby fat fuck. I'm tryin to get this bitch to suck some dicks and you keep talking like that and she'll suck some other dicks."
Cindy, finally having enough speaks up, "All of you, shut up and listen. We went and visited the Goose Lady and she explained to me about the 'Shue-children' experiments. It was supposedly sponsored by the government, but it actually was being run by a shady figure known only as Boots. Since that day, I've worked with Ms. Goose trying to find out more about them and she has recently given me more information regarding the only subject to survive those experiments.
As I've told you her name is Aurora. That is the only picture I have of her and I need her to be found before someone else does."
"Well what's in it for us? "Jay questions.
Cindy stands from her chair and saunters across the room and pushes Jay back in his chair and stands between his knees. She bends down and lowers her face to his and looks directly in his eyes. She quietly whispers to him, "Find her and I'll fuck you till the sun burns out."
Deep within a cavernous sewer system that extends far beneath the city, Boots sits upon his thrown surrounded by his thousands of followers. The crowd is filled with criminals and thieves dancing, partying, drinking, and fucking, in celebration of the coming war. Boots simply sits high above them, looking down and admiring the chaos that he has begun to create.
From the shadows to his right, a figure walks in and takes the seat next to him. Her name is Belle, and she is the most vicious member of Boot's recently created army. She turns her head towards Boots and says, "Everything has been taken care of. The journalist shall speak no more." She then holds up the head of Blue's agent, Jiminy.
Boots grabs the decapitated head and stands from his seat, holding the head up high for all to see. "Ohhh, my faithful and ferocious druids, witness the fate of those who attempt to deny us of this beautiful chaos we shall unleash upon this city. The first casualty has been claimed, bath in the blood of the innocent and rejoice."
Boots then tosses the head into the crowd as they roar with approval and the celebration continues as the war creeps closer and closer.
Back within the echoless darkness of nothing.
"You should be pleased that you were given this opportunity, your body and mind shall live soon rule everything. Your body shall shortly be inhabited by myself and I shall soon live again."
"What are you waiting for then? If you could've come back whenever you've wanted then what are you waiting for?"
"There are still things that must be put into place. The golden heart is still missing, as well as the blood of the perfected soul. Soon, very soon all shall be ready and I will walk among the living and rule everything."
"I've listened this whole time and not once have you mentioned who you are? Why is that? Who have I been talking to? Who are you?"
"It is long past the time of my complete return, and your chances of stopping me are even farther away. I only tell you this as you have no way to stop what shall come. I have possessed many names, Merlin, Houdini, but you would know me better as Gepeto."

Author's Notes-
Hey peoples. I know I said quicker updates, but what are you going to do. My son and fiancée take up all my time. I really do enjoy this and appreciate the reviews I've gotten and hopefully will get some more. All criticism is welcome. Let's see, the village was good, slow, but still good. AvP sucked. So did Resident Evil 2. Goodfellas on dvd is fucking great, first time watching the movie and I'm saddened only at the fact that it's taken me so long to see it. My son said 'mama', he's so adorable, him and my fiancée make my life so perfect. More when I get chance. No more giving myself a time schedule cause it's probably not going to happen and it feels like I'm lying to you people and I don't want to do that. Even though more reviews would mean more chapters. Let me know your out there enjoying this or not. Oh, and does anyone else think I should lower the rating for the whole story? More reviews. Thanks in advance.
