Saurai's Ring
The
creature fell. He was falling to his death, the hobbits on the
mountain thought. He was falling in the mountain, and an earthquake
was starting. As the creature fell he wailed:
"Precioussss!"
Another creature appeared, that the
hobbits never saw. The Lone Shee. As he activated his portal, he
brought Gollum, the ring, and its owner along without knowing. Its
owner entered an egg being created at that same time. The hand
hatched the egg and used the inseminator on the Ring's owner, to make
his daughter. The Ring's owner was Sauron, a norn, his daughter was
Saurai, an ettin.
I
stood gazing at the cheese, lost in thought.
"Express." The hand said, coming up behind me.
"Saurai look food." I responded, wondering why I was so
different from all the other ettins.
"Eat
food." The hand told me.
Just to please it, I obeyed,
although I wasn't hungry. Then I pushed a ball, then went through the
door to the norn meso. There were other creatures there. I veered
away from Sauron, who I hated without knowing why. I just felt uneasy
around him. Meanwhile, I tickled Quentin the grendel, and said:
"Maybe eat seed Dora" Since she'd said she was hungry for
starch.
Then I pushed a teleporter and went to the bridge.
There, I saw a geat, who was sitting next to the splicer muttering to
himself in a language I didn't understand. I listened, then figured
out a bit about what he was saying. He was holding a gadget he
called: 'Our birthday presssent.'
"It's
ours. Our birthday presssent. It came to us on our birthday. We
ressscued it from the nasssty hobbitses. Nassty hobbitses were going
to dessstroy it. Nasssty, nassssty!"
I looked at the
gadget. I felt a strong desire to grab it. So I did.
"No! Nasssty, nasssty thingses grabbing the Precioussss. Mean
and nasssty!" He slapped me, and I ran.
Then an idea came
to me, and I pushed the birthday presssent. Suddenly everything
looked hazy, and I saw him go right past me.
"Nasssty thingy! We hates it, it puts on our birthday present.
Nasssty thieves puts on our birthday presssent. And then even our
clever eyeses can't see it, nasssty thingy!" I realised that I
was invisible.
Then I saw everything get more hazy, and I
noticed a giant eye, a slit with fire around it. Suddenly I heard a
voice:
"Give it to me. Give my Ring to
me. I see you. You cannot hide! Give it to me!" I pulled the
Ring and then I was standing in the Capillata Hub, trembling.
I
realised that I was in danger, and I pushed the portal that always
sat by the Comms door. Then I was in the norn meso, but there were no
norns there. Also, I saw a toy I'd never seen before. I decided to
hide the ring, so I disassembled the holistic learning machine, hid
the ring in it, and reassembled it. Then I fell asleep. When I woke
up, a hand was there, but not the hand I'd grown up knowing. This
hand was grey. And it held a gadget.
"Push
gadget." It told me. I pushed it, and it taught me words. Then
the hand said:
"Can you understand
me?"
"Yes, Saurai can."
"Why were you scared?"
"Scared?"
I said. Then I told this grey hand what had happened to me.
"Saurai look gadget, geat get gadget, Saurai get gadget, geat
hit Saurai, Saurai push gadget, geat can't see Saurai, eye come, eye
say 'Give my Ring to me!'"
"Where
is it now?" The grey hand said.
"Saurai
flib machinery." And pointed to the holistic learning
machine.
"You hid it in that machine? I
didn't know that was possible!" The hand said. I responded:
"Saurai flib machinery. Norn can't."
"Wow! Can I see the gadget?" The hand said. I went to the
machinery and dismantled it again, and showed the hand the ring.
"One ring to rule them all." The hand said.
"One ring?" I asked.
"Nevermind."
The hand said. "Can I hold it?" I felt suddenly possessive
of the ring. This hand was going to take it away!
"No!" I said. And pushed a portal.
Then I was in
the containment chamber with a male ettin. He had pink fur all over
and his fur stood up on the top of his head. He pushed me, and I
pushed him back. I felt a drive I'd never felt before, but knew the
name for.
"Saurai friendly."
"Maybe push ettin Saurai." He said, pushing me again. "er
very friendly." He told me. "Maybe push ettin er."
"Saurai like er." "er like Saurai." We chatted
and kissed, and I forgot that I was holding a gadget. Then suddenly I
wasn't interested in him any more. I was hungry. He was now bored
instead of friendly. A black hand came, and warped us away. I don't
know where he went. I went to the Comms room of another world and
found a dispenser giving out an odd type of food that seemed to
relieve all kinds of hunger. After eating a bit I felt another
unfamiliar feeling I knew the name of.
"Saurai intensely homesick." I pushed the door and paced
about complaining. A hand came and picked me up and carted me off to
the desert. Then my homesickness decreased. I amused myself chasing
gnarlers and thought about all that had happened. I hid the ring in
the cheese vendor and left it there, so it would be safe. Then I went
up to the desert floor again and crouched down, and laid an egg. Ow!
That hurt. I stared at the egg, feeling protective of it like I'd
felt of the ring. But it wasn't that I wanted the egg, more that I
felt that it needed me. It was just a little egg sitting all alone.
When it hatched it would have to face the world, and the world was so
big and scary. I imagined a little ettin, scared and lonely. I'd
protect this egg. I picked it up and walked to the norn terrarium. I
chatted with a bunch of pregnant norns as well as norns with eggs and
baby norns.
"eem homesick."
"Maybe approach norn home eem."
"Maybe approach ettin home eem."
"bub foo dat."
"em
boop."
"me push norn."
"Saurai happy."
"Eve seriously
hungry for starch."
"Definitely eat
seed Eve."
"bub coo Adam."
"Adam like bub."
