Chapter 32: Necrobyssal and QUIVER IN FEAR BLAND ONES!

It has to be said, that discovering that a mysterious shadowy interdimensional medical organization is probably inactive isn’t really the worst of news. Dr. Bones however felt a feeling of sorrow, as if a beloved son had departed in untimely manner.

“Wonder what got them in the end?” Miss Fern callously mused.

-If they were got by something, hopefully that too has passed, otherwise it bodes ill for us.-

Doctor Bones tried not to consider the possibility that he was what that thing was. The exact nature and purpose of the seal in his mind after all, was not known.

“This doesn’t really change much though, does it? We’ll still be poking around in ruined labs won’t we?” Miss Fern asked.

-It does change some things. Most of the sigils are quite ancient. One however is still active. Whoever sent it yet lives-

“One last patient for Latent Corpentsis”

-Might be more fitting to call us Remnants of Corpentsis.-

“We’re going right away then?”

-Yes, I’m amazed the sigil has lasted as long as it has and we can always return to here-

They moved back through the greenery, talking as they did so.

“So where is it?”

-Oh, the Necrobyssal-

Miss Fern almost tripped over her own legs, all four of them.

“I-isn’t that were all the dead and refuse end up if they slip through all other dimensions? Oh no, now I’m thinking about all the knowledge I got about it. This is terrifying Doctor!”

-Don’t worry so much, I’ll make sure to give you a protective suit… er bowl. You can even stay inside the coffin if you want-

“Oh no, I have to see it for myself!”

-Weren’t you complaining about it being terrifying!-

“Yes, but that’s what makes it so romantic! A flower alone in the dimension of the dead! Where-ever will she go, what will she do?”

-You’ll be with me though-

“Ah, yes if anything goes wrong you can just blow everything to pieces with that monstrous weapon of yours”

-It’s a medical instrument, not a weapon- Dr. Bones protested.

They walked right out of the tower. The main entrance no less. They had quite forgotten themselves. Which meant they had quite forgotten about the Draggy Tot tribe savages. They were surrounded by the Draggy Tot tribesjellies in moments. The jelly tots themselves were hooting and screaming at the two for daring to have snuck into their holy grounds.

It didn’t help matters that Dr. Bones had forgotten to put their disguises back on.

“It looks like you’ll have to subdue them, call the red stick of doom down Doctor”

-That would be fatal, I’m sure I can find some…- Doctor Bones began.

He trailed off because the jelly tot people had started a mystic chant. A chant that caused a dimensional tear to appear in the sky. Sparkling white clawed hands poked through and then rent the tear open. Leaping then from the tear was a being no smaller than the tower Dr. Bones and Miss Fern had come through.

A shining being radiating power! Every part of it, each curving muscle covered in sparkling grains. Two mighty arms. Two wickedly taloned feet. A pair of wings to replace the light of the sun. A perfectly square featureless head with no horns. A tail whipping around behind it. A figure of a blockheaded dragon made of sugar.

It might have been laughable had it been small enough to fit in a palm, but the size and power of this being conveyed that it was a monarch of dimensions. A being with few equals. A higher dragon!

-Well this is rotten fortune, they’ve called a bidden! This is part of why its always best to avoid contact-

“We did a fine job of that Doctor”
