The Time Lord of Amber

by Alexander C Wolf

My mother was Deidre, princess of Amber, sister to King Corwin of Amber, and Aunt to King Merlin of Chaos. My dad was a little more complicated than that, but he was a Doctor, one of them anyway & an Arch Demon wants to have me for dinner, as an entree.

3. Chapter 3

Chapter 3, Journey's End.

Ok, now that I've got a second I'll sit down and take a breather.

A quick stop by the metropolis of Journey's End was an excellent way for me to go shopping and pickup a few things that I would need. This particular city is like New York meets Camelot. You can get lost here easily, you can also find just about anything. In mom's safety deposit box was a key to a vault here in Journey's End.

After a quick locate object spell I found the most magnificent bank I had ever seen. It was made of jade and marble and was about 10 stories tall.

I had my own personal vault, or rather mom had, that she left me. There was enough money in that vault to by a small planet. In the few days that followed I went on a spending spree that would have made any Hollywood starlet proud, of course my shopping was for things like shotguns, kabanas, Klingon style knives, explosives, a dragon skin coat (Dark blue), a worg- which is like a dog only about the size of an elephant, this one was a trained riding animal. I named him JohnWayne, after one of my favorite actors.

JohnWayne resembled a Doberman in color and in the head with broader shoulders and stockier legs, and of course eight feet tall at the shoulder and about 2500 pounds. I paid the extra 20k and got one that had champion hellhounds in it's blood line. Nothing like a fire breathing dog to keep you company.

His breed was bread to be imprinted on one specific person and I was happy to oblige. JohnWayne became my dog, and I became his person...

After a couple of days of spending mass amounts of overflowing cash I did a quick count and conversion to Pound Sterling. Walking the Pattern had somehow made me a lightning calculator… I was really good with trivial numbers that had little value. I was worth about six...Trillion pounds. It was good to be a Lord of Amber.

6 Trillion

453 Billion

912 Million

120 thousand

and 422 pounds

rounded down. Close enough.

Time to buy a bottle of 2378 B.C. Elven Wine…

Maybe I could find a tall blue lady to dance with…

See you in the morning….
