Well, I'm back. With a new story which I'm hoping will kick ass. Enjoy!!!!!!!!
Prologue - The Definition of Evil
Evil. Funny word really. From the Old English word 'yfel', which (not entirely accurate is pronounced) yevel. So you can blame the English for all evil in the world. Or you can blame ourselves. Very noble. Very noble indeed. Evil is also a funny word because of it's definition. Evil could be considered a quality. A power. A cause of harm. Or teacher. I'm not getting to my point very clearly am I.
Basically, the word evil can be an adjective, a noun and a verb all at the same time. Clever, don't you think? But that's the exact problem. Evil is too clever. There is always pure evil. But there is never pure good to balance it up. See thy problem?
Thus, evil can never truly be defeated, evil will always reign in some form or another. So evil can always prevail and quite possibly conquer. But good can never conquer evil. Or can it? Consequently, this story is all about the balance of good and evil. It is set in a world so vast and imaginative that you could almost believe someone had imagined it all up. (Impossible! I here you claim!) This story is about what could happen if the boundaries of good and evil merged. And what the terrifying consequences would be. Be afraid, reader, be very afraid...
In a place where evil lurks, something stirred. It wasn't so large that it could tear you up or so small it could give you a nasty dose of influenza, it was just normal. If pure evil can be classified as normal. As it awoke it sent shudders of pain to all other evils in the world. It's first thoughts were: 'What has stirred me from my timeless speech?' Followed by: 'I'm hungry...' Followed by: 'There's a zombie chicken.' It's thoughts were then concentrated on eating.
It's pain shuddered through all the evils in all the worlds. Awaking ancient evils and creating new ones too. The pain turned into the forms of nightmares, wars and dirty bombs. It began to submerge the barriers of good. Not good news then. Every evil force powered on that one evil force. Every evil force joined that evil. That is, except one evil. And that evil was not even aware of it's evil.
For a split second Rayman saw the evil that was not aware of it's evil. Then he awoke and forgot. 'What a strange dream!' he thought and curled under his duvet and back to sleep...
