Soren's Story United

Written by Soren the Hard-of-Hearing Scribe on September 20, 2009

Needless to say, we were terribly beaten by the watchdogs. After we were dragged to an Urgurian jail cell by an Urgur, we awoke and saw that he was standing there, watching us.

"Oh, ye Vikings of the moern world!" He cried.

"He be talkin' to us?" Olaf asked.

"I think so," Erik the Noisy said. "Maybe we should ask him."

"No, you should ask ME," Phil said conceitedly.

"Then was he talking to us?" Chia asked annoyedly.

"Why wouldn't he?" Phi replied. "Who doesn't want to talk to me?"

The Urgu had completely ignored us, and had continued to speak over us. I had tried to catch what he was saying, but I couldn't over the incessant annoying talking that my compatriots were partaking in.

"... choice of death is to be yours, as well as your final wish," he was saying.

"So, we can choose how we die, and we can choose what our final wish is?" Olaf aske excitedly.

"Yes," the Urgu said. "You may."

"May we get our final wish granted before our execution?" Olaf asked.

"Of course," the Urgu said.

"May we collaborate?" Olaf asked.

"Indubitably," the Urgu said.

We quickly huddled up.

We unhuddled up.

"Ok, we want to ask our final wishes first," Olaf said.

"Then you may begin," the Urgu said, turning toward Phil. Phil had inconceivably began to start sobbing.

"I... want a mirror... so I can see.... myself one... last time," he cried.

POOF! A mirror magically appeared in Phil's hand. He was startled, of course, but took it in stride, lovingly cooing to himself as he looked at himself.

"You may choose next," the Urgu said, turning to Erik.

"I want to be able to see Lulu the Loud one last time," Erik said.

POOF! Lulu the Loud appeared, looking rather shaken and scared. Olaf looked at her with surprise. Something gleamed in his eyes.

"Lulu!" Erik cried. "You're not dead!"

After the five-minute long make-out session was over, the Urgu turned to Lulu. "What is your final wish?" he asked.

"I want to never die again," Lulu said. "Dying is scary."

"Very well," the Urgu said. "It is done." He then turned to Chia. "What is your wish?" he asked.

Chia grabbed Phil's mirror from him and held it aloft. "I want to be able to see who Is... THE ONE." she said softly.

"It is done," the Urgu said. Chia looked inside the mirror. With a scream, she dashed it onto the ground, breaking it into a million pieces. Before anyone could react, however, the Urgu had turned to George.

"I want to be brave for once in my life," George said.

"It shall happen," the Urgu said, turning to me.

"I want to know the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything," I said.

"Forty-two," the Urgu said, turning to Omar. Omar had been quiet up to this point. His eyes suddenly flamed with anger. Lifting up his eyes to the Urgu's face, he spoke.

"I want Olaf to die," he growled.
