ever wonder why Abe is so deticated to his cause? Well heres my take on it.
The second chance.. (takes place after Abe's death, so theres no date)
Abe was floating in nothingness. He couldn't see anything but blackness.
"Where am I?" he said.
"You are in the place where we spirits await our next life." someone said.
"Who!?" Abe said startled.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I am a fellow spirit, waiting like yourself."
Abe saw a white mudokon appear in front of him.
"You're a Moon Child?"
"In my last life I was. I am glad I am finally able to speak to you directly Abe"
"How do you know me? Or rather who I once was?"
"I know you because I was with you your whole life."
"I don't understand, I have never seen you before."
"Let me explain. I was once the Moon Child named Zel. But you maybe only have heard of me as the insane Moon Child that had killed many of your kind."
"Ack! Then why in the world..." Abe said, taken back by what he just heard.
"Please let me continue..."
"Ok, go ahead." Abe said, still apprehensive.
"I was a sane mudokon once, one that tried to get my people to help your kind in their plight with the Glukkons. But that was before I was captured and experamented on by the Vykkers. For four long years I was in their grasp before I was finally able to escape. By then my mind was losing its grip on sanity. Only my desperation and thoughts of being with my mate again, kept me sane. After a year of being lost, I was finally reunited with my mate. But alas, things had changed. Thinking I was dead, she had taken a new mate and had a child which we were unable to have ourselves."
"Ouch."
"Needless to say, I lost whatever shred of sanity I had left. Due to my insanity, I blamed your people for my misfortune, and went on a killing spree. After seven years, I was finally stopped, by a dragon."
"Dragon? That had to be Dragadon. She never told us about this."
"I'm sure she had her reasons not to."
"Well anyway, how does this involve me? This all happened before I was even born."
"You see, the gods knew that I wasn't at fault for my actions and that their was nothing I could have done to prevent me from becoming insane. Therefore, after I had died, they told me they will give me a second chance. But on one condiction."
"And that was?"
"Before I could live a true life again, I had to aid someone in saving as many muds as I had killed. The someone was you."
"I still don't understand, I never even saw you."
"That's because I was within you, acting as your motivation behind your drive to save your people. I was the one that keep you going when times looked grim."
"So you where...controlling me?"
"No, I was not allowed to have such control. I could only motivate you, and nothing more."
"I understand now. So did you earn your chance?"
"Yes, that is why I am speaking to you now. I am now waiting for my next life to start as you are. Though neither of us will remember this conversation in our next life, we can both take comfort that we helped each other, accomplish our goals. You. Ending the rain of the Matog Cartel and saving the Mudokon Nation. Me. Redieming myself through you, to earn my second chance."
"I am glad I could help you, even though I never knew it until now. I hope your next life is a much better one."
"As do I. I hope you too will have a good next life. I must go now, fair thee well."
Zel disappear then, leaving Abe alone with his thoughts.
