《He-Thing and the Cabal of the Cosmos》The Temptation of He-Thing
Advertisement
“Can you feel it,
son of Leotas and Jyne?”
the Goddess asked He-Thing,
in a soft but fierce voice,
“The river...
beneath the river?”
He-Thing,
shaking in fear,
his voice in tatters,
replied,
“What are you?”
The Goddess
did not turn.
“I am both at once —
morning star...
and evening star,
soil...
and seed,
Love...
and Conquest.”
He-Thing tried to bellow,
but instead only squawked,
“My faith
in the divine white light
of the All-or-Nothing
will protect me from you,
Proto-god!”
The Goddess laughed,
but still did not turn.
“Nothing
will protect you
from the likes of me,
Champion of Time.
I am older
and stronger
than your selfish faith.”
“What do you want from me?”
He-Thing asked.
The Goddess spoke,
“I have summoned you here
to offer you a choice,
He-Thing.
And you must choose.
But be warned —
no one can know
the ultimate ends
of their choices —
not ever.”
“Not even a Goddess?”
He-Thing asked,
amazed by his courage.
“No, Champion,”
she laughed sadly,
“Not even a Goddess.”
He-Thing,
still trembling
in arousal and horror,
asked,
“What is the choice,
Goddess?”
She was silent for a moment,
as though
a sad thought
passed across her sun.
“The choice is simple...
but complex —
Lies...and Happiness;
or
Truth...and Suffering.”
He-Thing knew
what he wanted to choose;
but was it
what he needed to choose?
“You know what my choice is,
Goddess,”
He-Thing spoke,
“What it can only be.”
The Goddess
replied in amusement,
“Do not be so certain,
Champion of Time.
The Cosmos
is always open
to possibility.”
He-Thing shook his head,
unable to help himself.
“I choose Truth,
Goddess.”
“So be it,”
spoke the Goddess.
“We will be watching.
But know this, Champion —
it is not only you who will suffer
in your quest
for what you seek.”
The Goddess
and her palace
faded.
He-Thing felt weightless,
and torrents of wind
battered his body once more.
But before the Goddess
disappeared completely,
He-Thing sensed her turning,
and her voice rang out
one final time —
“He-Thing...beware...
...Skullatroid....”
to be continued...
