Soren's Story 10: Will this never-ending stoy ever end?

Written by Soren the Hardof-Hearing Scribe on september 20, 2009

"Your wish is granted," the Urgu said. "Olaf will die."

"Um, he's not dead yet," Omar said, looking over at Olaf, who was muttering under his breath.

"Of course not," the Urgu said. "You never specified a time at which he would die."

"Stupid loop-holes," Omar growled.

"And what is your wish, Olaf?" the Urgu asked.

"I wish to know what Lief's Dentist prisoner knew," Olaf said.

There was a flash; Olaf was suddenly soaked with water. He looked at himself with disgust. "This wasn't exactly what I had in mind," he moaned. George looked ove at him; a light flashed in his eyes.

"And now," the Urgu said. "How shall you be executed, Phil?"

"I wish to die a natural death," Phil said.

"As do I," Erik said.

"As do I," Lulu said. She had caught on quickly, as the method of execution had been discussed in our prior huddle, the one she had been without.

"As do I," Chia said.

"As do I," George said.

"As do I," I said.

"As do I," Omar said.

We all turned to Olaf. We all expected him to reply in the same way as we did, since it had been his idea. As he stood there, completely sopping wet, we heard him chuckle.

"I wish to die in te same manner she first did," he said, pointing to Lulu.

We all gasped. The Urgu nodded. His tone was an obvious anger. "Very well," he said. There was a poof. A small glass appeared on the floor in front of him. Olaf grinned.

"Gee, now isn't this surprising?" he retorically asked. "Here we all thought that you Urgurs had killed us with but a thought. When you really killed us with voice-activated poison, didn't you?"

"No, of course not," the Urgu said hesitantly.

"You lie!" Olaf yelled. "And here's the proof!" With a savage "Olaf the BAAAAALD!" he lunged at Lulu. Before she could react, he had drained the glass down her throat. With a cry, she fell backward. Erik yelled, "NO!" at the same time Olaf yelled, "I WILL DEMONSTRATE!"

Lulu collapsed, completely limp. As Erik turned toward Olaf with hatred in his eyes, he suddenly screamed and jumped back. Lulu was melting. At least, we had thought it was Lulu. Befoe ou very eyes, 'Lulu' turned into anoher Urgu. The Urgu jumped to its feet, and the hatred inits voice was obvious.

"It wasn't Lulu, Erik! Nothing can bring back the dead!" Olaf yelled as the second Urgu screamed, "You may have discovered that we cannot kill with a thought, but one touch will leave you gone forever!" As she lurched toward Olaf, George suddenly grabbed him. Lifting him up in the air, he threw him at the Urgu.

There was a brilliant flash of light as Olaf collided with the Urgu. The Urgu shrieked with pain as it suddenly dissolved into a million tiny particles. As Olaf shakily stood, the second Urgu completely disappeared. The First Urgu, which was still outside the Jail, stared at us. Though he had no face, we could feel the anger emanating from him.

"Water is their weakness," George whispered. Suddenly shaking his head, he cried, "Man, I wasted my brave act on throwing Olaf into something!"

"You will dry off eventually," The Urgu said, turning and striding away. "You shall all die shortly after."
