Soren's Story (Continued)

Written by Soren the Hard-of Hearing Scribe on Sepetember 6, 2009

As soon as the Urgu had left, Gregory the Hairy jumped out of his seat and ran to the spot where the Urgu had left. Before he reached it, however, he stopped. Reaching a hand out, it suddenly disappeared. Before anyone could gasp, however, he had drawn it back, and his hand was still intact.

"Whatever he used to disappear like that left a trace," he proclaimed. "Does anyone want to follow the Urgu and see what is happening wherever he went to?" No-one moved.

Suddenly, the ceiling exploded inward. Some of the Viking Chicks screamed as a dark figure fell onto the table. Jumping up, the dark figure yelled, "Was an Urgu here?" As the dust cleared, we saw that it was Lief the Armless. A huge sword was clenched between his teeth. No one responded; Gregory simply pointed to the spot where his hand had disappeared. With a savage roar, Lief dived into where he had pointed. There was a brilliant flash of light, and the leader of the Vikings disappeared.

Everyone sat in stunned silence. Erik the Noisy was the first to break it, running over to his now-dead girlfriend and sobbing. For everyone else, the silence became greater; no Viking had cried for the death of another since the Time Machine incident, where Chompsky the Inventor's wife had cried when he had been left behind.

Vikings do not cry for the death of others; we know that they are having a better existance on the other side. The only sad thing about death is how that dead person is no longer able to assist their enemies into enlightenment, which, in turn, turns them to friends.

Olaf was the next to speak. "When a Main Character dies," he intoned. "It shows that the story is coming to a close."

Gregory chouted, "Get everyone on the ship! We're meeting at CVU!" That is where the Vikings decided to meet should any sign of a mass destruction take place.

We were there the next day.
