Post# 4040


    X and the very unpolished Dinosorcerer made their way away from
civilization. Stopping along the way to raid a Seven11 (Well,Dinosorcerer
tried to pay, but the attendent just kept babbling mindlessly and refused
to take it) for M & Ms, lots of various canned goods. And a can of lysol
which they promptly emptied over the fortress they carried with them,
following up with a good rinse under a public water fountain.

    They eventually made their way to the countryside, and after
scouting for a bit, X finally said "Here, this is a good place, for the
time being, set the palace under the rock there, and let us enter it"
Dinosorcerer complied, and managed to shrink himself down to an
appropriate size. But it took him a little longer to focus on X and shrink
X likewise. "I"ve really got to figure out how to use these things."

    X culdn't agree more after the momentary distortion because of
during the brief moments when Dinosorcer couldn't quite focus on her, some
parts shrunk initially at different rates in a most discomforting manner.

    Finally once all was settled and they'd dined on frozen chicken
wings due to a lack of obvious microwave, Dinosorcerer turned to X and
asked. "Now what is this all about? It's been going so fast and no one's
had time for an explanation yet."

    X nodded "True, you'll need that and a lot more. It started long
ago, some suggest even on the day when the universe itself hatched. There
came a tale that from the foulest swamps of the most backwater planet
would come..."

    "A great evil?" interjected Dinosorcerer?

    "No, Laywers originated elsewhere. As I was saying, from these
swamps would come a lone creature ho would be able to 'shape the aether to
his will'. Regardless of who he was, there's a big slimeball out to find
him at all costs. And the task of past Dinosorcerer's since time
immemorium was to... NO!!! Don't lean on that button!"
    
    Dinosorcer startled, promptly hitting the large red one X had
tried to keep him from. There was suddenly a bright flash of light
followed by a muffled crashing noise outside.

    "What have you done?!" hissed X as they both ran to the front of
the fortress, looking out upon the night.

    There, fallen and sprawled across the ground outside lay an 8 foot
tall stegosaur, rubbing his head, and spying the tiny X and Dinosorcer
inside the fortress. 

    Jerhevon said, as he sat up more. "Odd that. I don't recall
drinking that much marsh ale."
