After going through the mories of Victor, that was his na. I felt a similar connection to the indomitable will power. Just like the previous I felt I could view mories if I chose to. I decided to. Who do you think has the strongest will on planet Earth? Would it be Batman, Superman or Spiderman? Would it be a green lantern? No. It was soone completely different and unexpected.
The mories don’t start on Earth but in Avalon, a magical realm tied to ours. The man was a knight turned sheriff in his old age. He was big, really really big even for people in Avalon who were on average bigger than those on Earth. He lived peacefully, only needing to kill a few stray wolves and drag drunkards off the street and into cells.
That is until the rumors of Morgan Le Fay reached them. Rumors spread that she had gone crazy as a lover told her she had a wrinkle below her eye. She struck the man down and began hunting virgins to kill and bathe in their blood. Only two weeks later did Morgan Le Fay show up at their small village. The mories shifted from third person for context to first person and I could feel the sa feelings as the body I just flew into.
She had a small army of undead soldiers behind her with two vanguards standing next to her. They slled like death but I couldn’t tell for sure because they were wearing full plate. Morgan asked. “Mmmm, handso man. Do you by chance have any children in this village? We are searching for them to work in my castle. You’d be well rewarded if you told where they are."
I chuckled at her audaciousness. I wasn’t the brightest but even I could tell that was a bold faced lie. I spoke calmly. “The only won in the village are those too old and feeble to run from you. The only n left in the village are those who stayed behind to buy ti so you couldn’t find them.”
The haughty look of hers broke as she sneered before ordering the sacking of our village. n fell in line beside and died in the war of undead. By the end of the first hour I was the only one left alive and I fought for another four. She finally grew sick of my impudence and struck with magic binding my hands and feet before asking again. “Foolish mortal! Tell the direction they ran and I’ll give you a swift death, otherwise you’ll end up the sa as my two death knights beside .”
“Co. Co closer.” I mumbled out as I tried to draw her in towards . She dismounted her stallion and got closer to . I couldn’t move still, completely bound beside my ability to speak. I spit in her face. She reeled back before chuckling. “Oh, you poor poor fool.”
She ca closer resting her hand on my chest. My body went still as I felt my heart stop. I could still hear her speaking as my body died. “You will beco one of my greatest creations yet fool. The mont of your death you’ll be put into a torturous hell where all you can feel is pain until you agree to my contract. When you do, I’ll have you hunt down every girl you thought you saved from this village and bring them to .”
Her wicked smile vanished from her face as she had already grown bored of . My body died as the rest of her army passed over . Pain, so much pain it was unbearable but I had to endure. One day, two days. The pain was sothing that would drive a man crazy in minutes but I lasted. The two death knights by her side had lasted on days which had already shown their strength of will.
Days turned into weeks. The only thing that kept sane was a mantra I was taught as a child that involved my na. Weeks turned into months. I no longer thought, I only repeated the mantra over and over again in my head. Months beca years. The village laid abandoned for over twenty years.
A band of adventurers passed through and talked but I couldn’t hear them. I was too busy repeating my mantra. Fifty years passed since my death and a family moved into the destroyed village. One family beca two, then ten. They buried in a shallow grave nearby as I repeated my mantra.
I couldn’t tell how long it had been. More than a hundred years but less than a thousand sothing finally snapped. The contract she was holding over my head faltered and suddenly my eyes shot open. I clawed myself from the grave and into a bustling city. I made my way towards the tether of the contract repeating my mantra.
“Ssssss. Ssssssooooo. Sssssooooooo. Sssssooooollll. Ssssssooollllooooommmm. Sssooolllooommmooonnn. Ssoolloommoonn Ggrrr. Ssoolloommoonn Ggrruunnddyy. Ssoolloommoonn Ggrruunnddy b-born on a monday. Solomon Grundy! Born on a monday!”
I repeated that mantra over and over again. I said it close to five hundred million tis by now. I kept going. Anyone who saw ran. They ran any direction that wasn’t towards as I chanted my mantra. I kept heading towards the tether. Days turned into weeks as I spoke my mantra. “SOLOMON GRUNDY! BORN ON A MONDAY!”
I scread it from my lungs. Weeks passed and I reached the top of a hill and saw a battle of epic proportions taking place. Morgan Le Fay's army had grown far larger than before but most were bodies now. There were only a few knights dead but I could tell each was worth a hundred undead.
There numbers were about even then, the fight could swing in either direction. I charged at the army shouting. “SOLOMON GRUNDY! BORN ON A MONDAY!” Half expecting the n to see and run or co towards to attack they split open like Moses parting the sea. They let charge in.
The number of death knights Morgan had by her had grown to eleven. If I had been converted I would have been number twelve, I didn’t know the significance of that number. I tore through the death knights with my bare hands. All were a head shorter and not nearly as wide. I yelled as I ripped my third in half. “SOLOMON GRUNDY! BORN ON A MONDAY!”
Morgan looked at with a snarl on her face. “You! You did this to ! You’re the reason why I failed. BEGONE!” I couldn’t do anything again. In only a second a portal had appeared in front of and I was kicked through it. I fell and fell and fell. I continued to fall for a very long ti before landing hard into a body of water.
Hungry. I was still in pain and hungry. I didn’t know why. “Solomon. Grundy. Born on. A monday.” I walked along the bottom of the ocean for an entire year before I reached oxygen. “Solomon Grundy born on a monday.”
I approached a village beyond being hungry and in pain. The buildings were big and strange. I tried, god did I try. I was just so hungry. I was spotted by n and won who ran. Different n showed up before pointing black sticks at . I finally saw an animal and couldn’t contain myself. I picked up the thing and ate it in three bites.
The n in blue uniforms black sticks made noise at and I felt sothing strike . It didn’t hurt, it was just annoying. I left that area and kept walking until I found an animal then ate it. A man in a field ca out with a bigger black stick and used it against when I ate his cows.
Finally a man in a blue suit with a big S on his chest confronted . He followed until I saw another animal and he took it from before I could eat it. He punched which made feel pain for the first ti in centuries besides the contract pain. He beat up and put in a room I can’t leave… Hungry… In pain and hungry.
