1: Rhoda now approaches the base of a massive tree made of tangled blue cords; the ‘core’ of Tazim’s body. A voice chimes out from behind her:
???: Rhoda, there you are…
2: Rhoda tilts her head blindly towards an elderly gray rat in a black cloak that has approached her from behind. Gray moths rest on his body.
Rhoda: Hello, Mal-Fa’asha.
3: The rat smiles at her.
Mal: I could see your journey from all the way up here.
You did so well… Look how much you’ve grown in such a short time…
A child no longer.
4: Rhoda’s stern expression softens.
Rhoda: I had good teachers.
5: Rhoda looks up at Tazim as Mal speaks.
Mal: I’ve been keeping an eye on your little lost Melissa as requested…
6: A flashback to Melissa’s body, half-formed in a tangled mass of black flesh.
Mal: Your ritual guided her soul safely to the new body… Your intention, I assume?
7: A new creature is seen, one of glistening black muscle and spiked carapace armor.
Mal: The creature you sacrificed for her… the potential that embryo had…
8: Rhoda looks down, forlorn.
Mal: I hope she’s worth it.
The creature that was sacrificed, was it perhaps an attempt by the Black Mass to evolve, to become more than just a purposeless destroyer of worlds?
Oh crud!
Eep!
I hadn’t thought of that!
I guess: In this story’s universe, the Gods’s gifts to you, are not free.
I guess the humans/this world’s human-type people, when they get a gift from a god like Hastur, or Yig: then SOMEONE will pay the price…or take the burden, for that.
In this case, I think a demigod, or some physical child or ward of Rhoda’s god[s], took the burden this time.
I wonder if Rhoda owned this god’s ward/dear thing, or will Rhoda have to pay back her god for this, at some time.
I think: getting a big gift like this is like getting a gift from an evil king, like: from Ming the Merciless, or from Skeletor, or from Darth Vader, or from Spiderman’s mafia-rule foe…the Kingpin. What will high price you have to pay for it?
…Sorry about the long comment. Sometimes scifi ideas, + metaphysical-like ideas, can be difficult for me to express in 3-4 sentences. 😀
This is a great page, Rebecca! 😀 😀
Hi Rebecca,
I just wanted to let you know that: I’ve recently changed my email account.
I used to have a yahoo [R] email, but I think- they decided my computer + browser are “too old”, + yahoo won’t let me use it, anymore.
I’m the same dude…named TRA, as before.
I just wanted to tell you about this change that I did. 🙂
Thanks + Cheers, TRA
I guess this also means that-
in this world or universe- that non-physical: spirits + creatures do exist, + that some supernatural creature wasn’t hypnotizing Rhoda, when the creature was showing Rhoda parts of, my words, parts of this word’s supernatural world[s], in the story/chapter of, “The True face of God”.
[Just to clarify what I mean- when I’m talking about spirits + supernatural worlds, I’m talking about this story’s, [fictional: spirits + supernatural worlds].
I’m not talking about anyone’s [beliefs in the real world], or about [real-life…religions, or other beliefs].
Thanks.
Cheers.
