THE GRIBLEX "Dad , can't you tell us just one more story?" asked Bobby. "If I tell you, do you kids promise to go straight to bed?" "Yes, Daddy, yes Daddy!" the kids chimed. "OK, I'll tell you the story of the Griblex." Once upon a time, a kingdom of many riches was ruled by a king of many riches, who in turn was ruled by the Emperor of Time, who was only a pawn in the vast dimensions of the Griblex,what to us is only as big as an ant. "Dad," Bobby said, "Is this a story or a joke?" His father, pretending to take offence, said "I'm getting to it." So anyway, in this kingdom of many riches lived a prince, Ashytow, and one day while he was riding his small but hardy donkey, a demon of the forest attacked! Leaving a barren trail of slime behind it, it crashed through the forest at an alarming rate. Ashytow stared at the light-consuming monster that was destroying anything in its path, when he realized that it was headed for his village - His House - HIS FAMILY! In turn, Ashytow crashed through the forest after the demon, flying past trees and slipping through bushes. The demon stopped before a house and stared down at the old woman who blocked his path. With stench pouring from his mouth, he boomed, "How have you blocked me, old hag?" She slowly looked up at him and said, "Foul demon of the woods, go back into the pool of darkness from whence you came! My potion will block you!" "HAG!" "Nothing can block me. I am the Demon of the Sea of Nomeg!" roared the demon as he threw the old woman aside. Ashytow ducked and weaved through the densely populated forest and broke of out of the underbrush and on to the dark trail of demonic slime. He did not take a breath as his donkey quickly made his way down the trail of dark plasmic muck. All he did was think of how he would wash off his poor donkey's legs (Be'a'koo is the donkey's name) and how he would be so happy to see his family safe. But just at that second, the demon had broken down the door to Ashytow's home and assumed his human form. He picked up the little girl cowering behind the unconscious grandmother. Assuming his beastly form again, he bolted out the door. Ashytow watched as the demon left his house. He thought he heard screaming from the house. When he arrived, he looked inside. Nothing. He heard it again, and then thought, "Of course - the demon!" "Be'a'koo!!!" he yelled and was off. End of Chapter One Damn it! Zoo is be'in a hard ass ,and that probably means no more Griblex!
