Mnementh, having waited stock still for several days for the returning pass of the intrepid Spiff’s little red ship, finally decides he isnt coming back, lowers his guard and turns to leave.
And is promptly given a crushing blow to the back of the head by a little red spaceship. Thwack!
Consciousness fading… fading… fading… gone…
**Mnementh awakens to find himself in a beautiful garden, with plants and animals the likes of which he has never before seen. All the life is formed in gorgeous, bright colours; greens and reds and blues from all ends of the spectrum. The scent of the grass and flowers is overwhelmingly calming. Mnementh wanders forwards, in awe of his new surroundings, all his finely tuned senses taking in every bit they can of this joyous place.
In wandering through the forest, Mnementh comes upon a narrow, babbling brook. He bends to drink, and the water tastes faintly sweet, and is incredibly refreshing. Just then a sound catches his attention to the water; As he takes a few steps back, a column of water rises from the brook and takes the shape of a beautiful woman.
“Gasp!”, Mnementh gasped, “A water nymph!”
The apparition smiled, (inasmuch as a water nymph can smile), and bespoke Mnementh; “To find that which you seek, you must first find his path; For he knows you seek him, and is moving always, always one step ahead, not just of you, but also of all the others on your quest. For His mind can conceive of anything and everything, and as you exist, so he knows all of what you do and flees.”
With that, the nymph leaned forward and placed a kiss on Mnementh’s forehead, and dissapeared in a light so blinding and powerful it overwhelmed him; and he collapsed into darkness.**
Back on the roof, Mnementh, unconscious for several minutes, suddenly sits up so fast he nearly crushes the skull of kristoph, who was either worried about his new teammate, or else trying to steal Mnementh’s wallet.
“Egad!” proclaimed the Lord of Blades; “I am, thus I can be seen. To find Cecil… I must cease to exist!!”
