"Someone gave my brother this power." I say. "Years ago, when he left. They corrupted him."
Lani sighs. "Zeke?"
"Yeah?"
"This is crazy. I mean, c'mon, like we're gonna find some sort of demonic loan shark that gives power in exchange for one's free will." She says.
I take a deep breath and look at the sunset at the other end of the endless expanse of sea.
"We'll let him be."
Some worm-filled cans are better left unopened.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I have this vague memory from before the undoing.
This guttural roar.
Alone in the woods I managed to replicate it.
I'd just skipped a stone over the Worldpool. When I roared like the voice, the stone unskipped and then reskipped. The longer I held the roars for, the weirder it got, until eventually the stone was reduced to dust. When I stopped releasing the noise, the stone de-dusted itself and finished skipping across the water.
I tried it again in a different spot of the woods, and this next time, with a half-eaten apple.
It unate and I felt hungry again. Then it completely ate itself up. Then the core rotted. Then the apple unrotted and unate, and blinked out of existence.
Silence, Ezekiel. The voice told me. I will remove my roar from your arsenal if you misuse it. Silence.
And that's how I obtained the power of the God of Time!
Yeah.
Just kinda... happened.
Sudden.
Ah well, moving on.
Got a life to live.
