THERE IS A MONSTER IN MY CLOSET: Maire and Mark (Alloy) confront the Vikings. These
are the Vikings from Maire's dream. Mark grabs Torg and fights the Vikings. Maire
senses that the Vikings mean them no harm. The Cylodian shape changer follows them
through the portal. It assumes an unbeatable form and then grows more, out the top
of the house. Mark and the Vikings jump out the window. Kamakazi, Kohl, and Ethan
were in the South Wing of the complex, safe from the destruction. Now they see it.
Ethan uses his feet to catapult Kamakazi up on top the monster. Her plan is to sever
its spine...if it has one. The Vikings emerge from the wreckage and will not have
a woman fight their battle. Ethan finds Maire alive. Ethan is mad that Mark didn't
protect her. Mark doubled back into the complex. Mark puts on a new outfit for the
first timeññña form fitting battle shell, made from puncture proof, fire retardant
acryloy. He comes out and faces the monster. It eats him. His plan: do more damage
from the inside. Maire gives an incantation, believing this to all be her fault.
She reverses the Cylodian's changing process and Mark comes out of the splitting
monster body, it being torn in half from belly up! Kam thinks that was the most disgusting
thing she has ever seen. Mark says, "You're telling me?" Torg explains
to Kohl. He introduces his buddies, Byorg and Laris, all Sveins from the land of
Try. Since the age of Piancle, life was good...until the Cylodians attacked. The
people surrendered. A small band of men attacked and killed all the Cylordians except
one. The most powerful used Svein slaves to force the band into the sea and that
is when they saw the light. The Svein warriors do not wish to go back and cannot
since the gateway is gone between the two worlds. They will have a good life here
among the sea, the mountains, hunting and fishing, and they will find good women.
"It will be a fit life for a Svein warrior." |
