Heh, I can't really write this often any more. This chapter wasn't really hard to write, but wasn't so interesting for me to write. I have decided to make four parts, for there are new characters to introduce. Here's Part 2.
Part 2: Possession
Day 1
Mudokon Base 1:26
Hillker didn’t know where to start. He had so much time in the world to use his new powers, and it the day was still around midday. Hillker could do anything, anything at all. Hillker decided that he would like see his village in an entirely different way.
Hillker could not see the colors he knew in the village. The Mudokons were giving off an eerie blue, but were still solid. He looked down at his hands, only seeing a liquidly outline of his arms. It was mysterious in how he can see himself, but others would not even notice his existence. Perhaps only people with his powers can notice the outline.
Hillker soon grew bored of his invisibly powers, because there was nothing that was new. Mudokon huts weren’t really anything new to him, for they all looked the same on the inside. Mudokons weren’t hiding anything that they don’t want people to know and what use could it possibly be for him? The only time I have ever met a Mudokon who didn’t want people to know his secret, was when he found out he had three arms. Wasn’t pretty. Anyway, Killgan had told Hillker that rumoring was the doing of glukkons, who had enslaved their race. Surely Hillker would not try to be the people who wanted Killgan dead? Even though he felt like that he was entirely bored, he knew that there was one place he wanted to see.
Hillker ran north of the village, to find an mountainous, green Scrab statue. Hillker couldn’t really tell if it was green, but he knew that the statue had a different color than the rest of the stones around him. But he could notice that every detail was nicely carved, which made it amazing that this was the work of old mudokons. There were a long sets of stairs, leading into the legs. This was the sculpture called Monsilpcrab, where precious, ancient history was stored inside. It was also a place of mediation. Or so Hillker was told. However, only few were honored to go in. Killgan was one of the honored, but he refused to let Hillker inside. Killgan went inside at moments, but never spoke of what happened inside. Hillker only saw this place as a museum and couldn’t figure out why it was forbinned.
Looking at the sculpture, he saw that there was very few guards around the sculpture " Tight sercurity." thought Hillker as he ran up to one of the four legs of the Monsilpcrab. He started to go up the seemingly endless staircases, taking breaks at times, because it was so tiring to run up the stairs. After his fourth break, he seemed to noticed that a sandstorm was edging nearer the village. Hillker thought that he should sprint up, since he thought that Killgan would be home soon and seeing a body without conscious, would not make him happy. At last, the door was right in his eyesight and all he had to do was step inside.
Hillker gasped at what he saw inside. There was a huge corrider, that had been completely circular, except for the floor. On the walls, there was several torches lit, with green flames inside. The torches had the shapes of a wooden bird and some had the Big Face mask on them. The walls were probably the length of 4 Scrabs laid down! On the walls, several cave painting were made, some were more primitive than others. But never less, all the painting had story stones below, to explain their purposes and their history. Hillker couldn’t wait to find out what they all meant.
At first, he placed his hand in a story stone with the painting of a Mudokon riding an Elum. Inside, the stone story said,
"First inscribed: 167 B.G.E (Before Glukkon Era)
Location of first engravement: Spooce Forest
Purpose: To tell that Elum riding is required. Also was used to afterwards to tell a clue to the savior of Mudokons of what is up ahead.
Made with: Pieces of chalk or Meetle clippings."
This kind of information fascinated Hillker. So much could be learned in this museum. He looked at more of the painting descriptions, each having some new interesting stories to them. As he traveled through out the tunnel, the paintings turned into a artifacts. They varied often with mystic objects, such as Ghost locks and Spooce. The ones that interested him the most, were the weapons displayed. There were slingshots with stones, Tomahawker clubs, and Mudarchers’ their classified weapons. Others were the weapons of rider Mudokons, ones who ride Meetles and Elums. These fascinated Hillker the most.
Yeah, Hillker wasn’t the only one in that place. There was more of them, but they seemed to have left over time. Hillker had to avoid them, since Mudokons would freak out if they bumped into something invisible. Trust me, it is just freaky. So as time had pasted, it seemed like it was only Hillker was the only one. It actually took him only a few hours to go through that entire column. Hillker was suddenly very disturbed. What if Killgan had already found him in his hut? He wouldn’t be happy at all. But something was going on upstairs and Hillker felt like that he must go up there. When at last Hillker reached the end of the hallway, he saw a ladder that went up further. Just as Hillker thought that it wouldn’t hurt to search some more, a bird portal mysteriously opened right in front of the ladder. "Who did this?" was Hillker’s only thoughts. Yet curiosity filled him again. He jumped into the portal waiting what was on the other side.
The portal instantly opened and Hillker found himself in a giant room. There wasn’t much, besides the scriptures on the dome walls. There was also an enormous chant circle in the middle. The people in it would surprise you. The queen, her two Mudarchers, and Killgan were in the circle. Many thoughts of curiosity filled his head. Why would these four be in the room, of all people? Then he remembered the four had earlier about warning the Grubbs of the Drats. The possession was going to happen so soon. No wonder Killgan had left so soon! He must have been here to support the queen with possession. Hillker was suddenly stunned and excited. It wasn’t every day he saw the full extent of Killgan’s powers. But something distracted him. He could hear voices outside. There were some opening to the outside, so Hillker sneaked to one of them. He peeked outside and gasped. He was on the top of the Monsilpcrab. He never left it, just went up higher. On the bottom, there was countless guards protecting the Monsilpcrab. Over the time Hillker had been inside, the guards must have all came together, to give the queen some privacy. Now Hillker knew what he had to do. He had to get out, before Killgan finds out that he had left, soul less, and found out about the plans of the queen and Killgan. He was so frigthened, that he didn’t hear that the possession phase was starting.
Hillker turned around after some moments of thinking and ran. He didn’t find out, until later, that he was heading towards the possession orb. He slowed down to watch Killgan and the queen chanting. Their powers seemed be combining together, to form one orb. It was odd to see other Mudokons chant as one, so odd, that he had been walking sideways to watch. Isn’t wasn’t very long before Hillker felt something odd. He felt almost as if he was being squished up into a ball. Hillker looked down and gasped in horror. He was being swallowed into the possession orb! Even with effort, Hillker could not escape. At last, Hillker became part of the possession orb.
For some random luck, Hillker had kept his consciousness. He felt like he was the orb. He couldn’t see anything, but he could sense what was around him. And he could sense that the two had stopped chanting. Now, Hillker knew what to do. He had to possess a Scrab and get to the Grubbs. He floated away, using an opening to escape.
Killgan awoke from his chanting slumber and looked at the possession orb. It was floating away and the queen wasn’t even controlling it either. He had a bad idea in who could possibly be in that orb. He started to say to the queen, but she already responded, "Yes, that was him. And that means that the prophecy is coming true." She stood their in confusion. Killgan knew that it was time for him leave. But as he left, he thought, from the corner of his eye, tears was coming down her cheek.
