The Early Bird

It catches the worm, does it not? I believe that since we started earlier, we have finished earlier. The boy's...changes are complete. His mind...well, to put this more gently...

After so long, my German is getting a bit rusty...I believe the correct way of saying it is, "Es hat gebrochen"? It broke. His mind, that is.

Let me tell you a Geheimnis. A secret. I do not serve the freak that Maze calls Master. No, my lord is one infinitely more powerful and infinitely more wondrous. No - I am a knight, and I serve a king. No, I am not under the command of Maze. No, I do not plan to give the boy to her Master. No, these past few weeks were not to turn the boy to her side. No, I do not argue with myself. No, from the very beginning this was to let the boy achieve what many others could not - a way - a way to bring my lord into the world more...permanently. No, these little...monsters you call fairies did not come out of nowhere - I summoned them, in an attempt to, as you say, get the ball rolling. No, my lord does not lead the others - but he does lead - but he does take a pivotal role in the Jagd. I cannot fathom all the glorious purposes of my liege, but he assists the Hunt in ways that no one else could. It is interesting that the boy decided to nickname one of the Little People "Woden", as he is the leader my lord follows - as he is Wodan as he is Odin as he is the leader of the Hunt, as he is the leader my lord follows, although the "fairy" is nothing but that. No doubt he will get so caught up in all the excitement that his tiny little heart will give out.

The boy is to be rechristened "Regen", in honor of his recent experiences with Wasser. Besides a multitude of other reasons, the cleansings of his mind, body and soul have washed away the scent, the Gestank of human from him, leaving Regen free to join in the Hunt if he so wishes - but only after he has managed to bring my lord here.

I will be helping him, of course. He does not know all the important details of how to do it. What he is needed for is efficiency and knowledge, and perhaps some higher mathematics.

No doubt this is a bit of a shock, ja? I believe you'd call it an Ass Pull. You better watch your asses, then, lest they get pulled up into the Hunt's path.

So, now I only need to dispose of Maze and we can begin...

Janus? What is the meaning of this? Stop joking and get to work.

Janus said...

You do not command me any longer, nor have you ever, you ridiculous woman. Don't struggle, and it will be over fast and painlessly.

Janus said...

I knew this would be difficult...Come out, come out, wherever you are! Let's see - if I were a maze, where would I hide? Ah, there's some nice philosophy...

Maze said...

The Master will have you, fool. You'll not find me.

Marty said...

I don't know what to do. Should we help someone?

Arnold said...

We could just bash them both.

Woden said...

We need to help Jo! He's the one we care about! Determined face!

Arnold said...

I guess you're right, aren't you, Woden? Yeah, let's see if we can help him...

Farris said...

Maybe we could just get him out of here.

Justo said...

Can we try and help Frap somehow, you think?

Joce said...

Hörest du nicht Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht?

Ved said...

That's not good.

Terry said...

That looks a bit like spoiled milk...does anyone have those Cheerios from earlier?

Sherry said...

This is NOT the time for food!

Justo said...

But what can we do? I don't care how many dozens of us there are, there's only a few who could help at all and even less with wings.

Joce said...

Jetzt faßt er mich an! Jetzt faßt er mich an!

Justice said...

Joce, hört mir zu, bitte, tun dies nicht. Bitte nicht mit den Erlkönig gehen. Ich habe die godsdamned Übersetzer aus. Bitte. Sie sind nicht Regen, du bist Joce.
P.S. Deshalb habe ich dont Nickerchen.

English: Joce, listen to me, please, don't do this. Please don't go with the Erlking. I got the godsdamned translator out. Please. You aren't Rain, you're Joce.

P.S. This is why I dont take naps.

Maze said...

Janus, DYNAMITE is not going to help! You could kill the boy!

Justo said...

Damn right it's not! You've almost killed me! It's hard to escape that kind of blast radius when you're so small AND you have a back brace!

Janus said...

I assure you, dynamite is an acceptable method of hunting.

Janus said...

And anyway, the boy is already as good as dead, is he not?

Maze said...

The Master wants the boy. The Master will have him. And He will not want him dead.

Janus said...

Neither will my lord. Perhaps we come to an agreement? I kill you, and I get the boy. Sound fair?

Maze said...

Absolutely not. This is NOT over.

Janus said...

Most certainly not. I shall be retiring for today. I don't think it'd be wise of you to do much but the same.
