| 2- All the clients the Twins hoped to see at the portal are all hiding from the foul vampyre Ozvidius the Insulter, who can't kill them, so he corpse-shames them instead. "But, he's killing our business potential," say the Twins. "Invisible clients have no need of Valkyrie Wings couture. We will bring him down!" "I am very glad to hear it!" says the Pilgrim nearby. "If you really mean it, follow me." "He strolls byand does the most hateful things. He poked out my other eye, 'as a public service,' he said. Can no one banish him?" cry the Insulted Ones. "As soon as we step outside onto the balcony," say the insulted Oldtimers, "here he comes in his carriage shouting insults at us." A desperate performance artist group holds a Fire Invocation of the High Priestess to come and help. This great Lightbeing is never called unless all else has failed. Their plan is a simple one. Herlight rays of celestial magnitude lull the vampyre into a deep sleep, and the Pilgrim takes over down below in his mouldy crypt. "Devious, you can't Go Back to the Whorl," says the Pilgrim. "You can stay here or Go Forward. You too,Dubious. You must choose now. Take the Light-Basher and hit Ozvidius with it as hard as you can." Devious hits Ozvidius, but.not.hard.enough. "Good Lord, Devious! You were supposed to banish him, not wake him. Now what arewe supposed to do??" "Ladies, fear not. I’ve got this," says the Stranger, materializing out of nowhere and banishing Ozvidius to the Netherrealm with the Light-Basher. The Twilight Twins suddenly go forward to become Celeste and Celene Dawnaura in a much brighter dimension, where they instantly see a huge potential for basilica fashion, and they begin working on that right away. So, the Book speaks true, the Whorl is anew, the Willing ascend. The End. |
