《He-Thing and the Cabal of the Cosmos》The Soul of Zolantos
Advertisement
Zolantos smiles —
a rare thing.
“This artifact
is called paper.”
he speaks,
a mournful tone in his voice,
“And those marks are words.”
He-Thing is aghast.
“But they do not speak!
I hear no voice!”
Zolantos replies,
“These words wait to speak.”
He-Thing asks, “But why?”
Zolantos replies,
“So they are there
when they are needed.”
He-Thing gasps, and
the old lantern
trembles in his fingers.
“But when is that?”
he asks.
Zolantos laughs,
though not
without bitterness.
“When a man needs them,
of course.”
“But,” asks He-Thing,
“How are such words
impelled to speak?”
Zolantos replies,
“To hear these words,
you would have to learn how to —
a laborious process.
You would rove your eyes
across the marks,
and the words would speak
in the slothful pebble
of your mind.”
He-Thing exclaims,
“What sorcery! But how
was such an art lost?”
Zolantos sighs.
“Such things
are from the Linearity.
Now — we must destroy it.”
Zolantos
unceremoniously
casts the artifact
into the fire.
It flickers
like the sun
between fingers,
and disappears
in effervescent
smoke.
He returns the bottle
and feather to his bag.
“But Teacher…”
He-Thing asks,
despite the meager
crumbs of his wisdom,
“Why do you possess
the feather and the bottle,
and why
do you carry them with you?”
In a flash of time,
Zolantos bridges the gap
between himself
and his student,
striking He-Thing in the face
with his infamous cane.
He-Thing crashes to the ground,
shrieking in pain,
blood in his mouth,
crushing his broken arm
beneath him.
And Zolantos bellows,
“Never question me
about such trivialities again!”

8 172Grey [HIATUS]
I was originally fueled by anger and disdain to write this and looking back, most of what I wrote for this story was unplanned and a bit trashy. I kinda stopped having ideas for this, so I stopped in the end. If you're looking at this right now, you probably shouldn't read this because it's only 12 crappy chapters in and yeah... Sorry to the people who might've liked this. (Maybe one day I'll continue this, but for now, I have other plans) Grey, a prince, is unsure about what to do when he starts running away from an enemy beast tamer. He's unsure on what to do now that his father, the king, is dead. In the forest alone, he'll discover a small companion and a rogue. Together will they figure a way to take back Grey's kingdom? Or will they just die in vain? Let's be honest here, most of you probably like the fox aspect of the story the most. (BTW the cover design is made by me. Terrible, I know) I'm kind of done with writing bs descriptions that I might change in the future, plus I'm not very good with being thoughtful with quotes and stuff like that. I just write what pops into my mind, which is usually stupid things. So the description may or may not be accurate so I've changed it to being very vague.
