5- Shimmer Myr

The Shimmer Myr ran as fast as it could, dodging copper trees and razor vines as it ran through the Tangle. Several Phyrexians had gone unchecked in the forest and when the Myr was caught spying on them, they gave chase. Normally, when threatened, the Myr would simply will itself out of reality and reappear elsewhere, but it was given orders to run so that the Phyrexians could follow it. The Shimmer Myr understood its role in the plan, and will comply.

The three Phyrexians that chased after the Myr did so with long galloping strides of their legs and feet. By way of locomotion, they were like wild dogs, but their skeletal bodies, exposed innards and oil dripping orifices would suggest horrors from children's nightmares. Despite their size, they were actually stronger than most and the Shimmer Myr logically decided that it would get torn to scrap should one of them manages to catch it. The only factor that kept the Shimmer Myr just out of their reach was that it evaded the Phyrexians by hiding in the spaces between seconds.

As one of the Caustic Hounds pounced towards the artifact creature, the Myr simply vanished, causing the hound to strike nothing but copper foliage. The Shimmer Myr reappeared nearby and continued to run, and thus, the chase began anew.

Deeper and deeper into the Tangle, the Myr led its pursuers. Had the Resistance not known of this operation, the Partisans may have feared the Myr was leading the Phyrexians to one of their hidden safe houses. But in reality, the Myr needed to be closer to the Resistance's territory, where the aid of other artifacts was needed in order to complete its task.

Like a freighted child, the Myr continued to run, hoping to stay ahead of the hounds until its magical influence could take effect. Unlike most magically enhanced artifacts, the Shimmer Myr could share its talents with other artifacts. As though to verify this claim, two Tangle Hulks suddenly appeared out of thin air behind the Myr and obstructed the Phyrexians advance. At first, the three hounds froze in confusion for just a moment before they charged forward, lunging at the two constructs.

As the Phyrexians fought the hulks, they were too distracted to notice the Shimmer Myr return with an army of artifact Golems marching behind it.

Later, three Phyrexian bodies were dumped just beyond the Tangle's borders as a warning to those that would enter the forest uninvited.

And that Ladies and Gentlemen, is the final one. I hope you all enjoyed them, even though they were really short. But sometimes it's the better way to go.

Until Next Time ^_^
