Never Ending Story

[okidoke]

Or so he thought, but another part of him said to run like hell in the opposite direction.

 

[Skyless]

He ran as fast as his sore legs could carry him, away from the tower, right into the fog, only to be greeted with the same familiar structure in front of him yet again, he had made a mistake.

 

[okidoke]

His form began to change.

 

[Skyless]

As the large black feathers began to sprout from what was once his hands, all Eddy could say in exclamation was “skwaaak?!”.

 

[okidoke]

With a few hesitant flaps of newly formed wings, Eddy was able to take flight and carry himself skyward, above the dense fog and away from the dark tower.

 

[user 190481]

He drifted along for a while until what appeared to be a desert island coming into view. He did his best to descend as slowly as he could.

 

[okidoke]

But he hadn’t mastered landing yet and fell short, amongst crashing waves where he broke a wing.

 

[user 190481]

After a lot of coughing and spluttering Eddy got to the surface. A huge wave suddenly came along and washed him to the shore.

 

[okidoke]

The maw of an ominous cave beckoned him.

 

[user 135671]

Eddy struggled to his feet and started towards the ominous cave, Thinking to himself "why not, my day can't get any bloody worse".

 

[okidoke]

But that was his second mistake and his form began to change once again as he entered the dark entrance to the cave.

 

[okidoke]

Now, as a bent over crippled old man, in the mouth of the dark deep cave, nothing stirred and he thought he was all alone in the world, until a tiny glowing light bounced around up ahead, further into the cave.

 

[user 190481]

While pondering whether to go along inside a bit more he came across a stick, he used this to assist his struggling steps.

 

[okidoke]

But alas this was another mistake because its brittle structure crumbled within his grip and his gnarled fingers began to soften and sprout suckers.

 

[user 190481]

Stumbling across to the wall he managed to adhere himself to the side with the sprouted suckers, they worked well until.

 

[okidoke]

Until the little bouncing light up ahead shot towards him and burst into a millions oily sparkles that slipped his suckery grip, landing him flat on his spongey face.

 

[user 190481]

Due to the absorbency of his spongey face he started to struggle to breathe.

 

[okidoke]

And he continued to struggle, and struggle, and struggle some more.

 

[user 190481]

Just as he thought he would take his last breath he was grabbed by a force so strong.

 

[okidoke]

Eddie just allowed himself to be carried along the dark cave until it opened up to a colossal amphitheater whereupon he was plonked into a small purple pool of strange liquid, all the while thousands of pairs of yellow eyes gazed upon his odd sponges sucker-skin form.
