|
|
The blade howled as black electricity danced along
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
its rune covered length. Elric leaped onto the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
back of a dragon that had suddenly appeared.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Swallowing the clone whole, as Moonglum smiled a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
little bit, thinking about this princess chick he
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
spent the night with back in Jadmar. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Short rogue worried about his friend Elric. "That
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
thing you did, was it really necessary? For
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
summoning a dragon must be very taxing." Elric
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
replied, "Yes, but very kinky." Then, winked. "Let's
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
see if the dragon can fly us to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Walmart. I need a blue slushy, and a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Disney Princess backpack, as well as some more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Blue Oyster Cult CDs." Moonglum was shocked by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lord Elric's insatiable desire for more cowbell and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the godlike guitar playing of Buck Dharma Roeser.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Meh" Bloom said, "Cowbells just a myth, Lanier
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
didn't play it either. It was overdubbed by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
evil cows who want you to eat
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more fish. Elric began to travel away quickly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moonglum climbed on the back of the dragon
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and put in an 8-track of Black Sabbath
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The voice of Dio invoked "Heaven and Hell".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moonglum, who was more of an Aerosmith fan,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just repeated the "Crying" lyrics to himself softly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and thinking "Hawkwind should have made it bigger."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As if in answer, Balo the jester's expanding
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Singing Citadel appeared, its haunting song sounding out
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a refrain from "Cultosaurus Erectus", but he winced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in pain. "Not Black Blade! For some reason
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
it sang Monsters causing his head to implode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Elric drew Strombringer and strode towards the Citadel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strombringer, that epic pastrami sandwich of doom, howled
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
as the eldritch runes on the rye bread
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dripped mustard. The large, intelligent tomato next to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the jalapeno pepper from the blackest pits of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mexicano-Hell leaped skywards trying to smash Elric. "Damn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
you taste great, but you really mess up
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
my digestive system. Runeblades are hard to swallow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"A dragon could use one as a toothpick,"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"And hopefully will!" countered Smiorgan bald-head as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
he looked towards the sky. A blood moon
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
had appeared on the horizon. "This can't bode
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
good fortune." Stormbringer screamed, and chopped his head off.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
drinking his soul like an icy-cold beer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Elric laughed heartily as the power entered his
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
soul, like fire ants scrabbling twixt his nethers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ahh.. the joys of his misspent youth peaked at the corners of his mind.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like acid flashbacks in a dieter's fat cells
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moonglum cleared his throat in that manner of his.
