In Between Life and Death...

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 20427

For a moment you seem to remember something...something about pain and dying, but the memory eludes your grasp and drifts away into nothingness. You stare curiously at the mists surrounding you, and realize that you have no idea where you are. For that matter, you have no idea who you are either, or anything else about your existence. You feel that this absence of memory should disturb you, but for some reason it does not.

You feel your nipples harden in the cool air, and looking down, you se that you have a pair of enormous breasts, a trim waist, and well-rounded hips and buttocks. You are nude, of course, but that fact doesn't seem to bother you at the moment either. You suddenly have a feeling that you should be going somewhere, so you start walking. The mists swirl around you with each step, but the terrain does not change. The ground remains featureless and white, as made of marble, and the mists obscure your view of whatever might lie beyond them.

Finally, after walking for what might be hours, or even days, you feel a tap on your shoulder. You turn around and find yourself facing a beautiful young woman wearing a long, diaphanous white robe. You can clearly see the nipples of her inordinately large breasts through the flimsy fabric.

"I'm sorry I'm late," she says rather contritely. "I was unavoidably detained with another client of mine."

"Who are you?" you ask with a confused frown.

"Why, I'm your spirit guide, of course," she replies. "I am here to take you to your next life."

"N-next life?" you stammer uncertainly. "Then, I'm dead?"

"Well, technically you're just a disembodied spirit right now, in between life and death. Or rather, in between lives, to be more precise." She takes you by the arm and leads you off into the mists at a brisk pace.

You let her lead you along as you absorb this information, then think of another question. "Why can't I remember who I am or where I came from?"

The guide purses her lips. "Uh, well...you see, your case is rather special. It has been decided that you must learn certain, specific lessons in life, lessons about humility and obedience and stuff like that. You will keep repeating the cycle until you do learn; it wouldn't be a fair test if you could remember all of your mistakes from the last go round, now would it?"

"I suppose not..." you concede. "So I'm going to be born again in a new body? Will I remember being here."

"No, you won't remember anything about this place, and, uh, you won't exactly be born, although you will have a new body."

"I'm not going to start out as a baby and grow up all over again?"

The guide shakes her head. "The powers that be have decided that they don't want to waste that much time, so you will start out in the body of an adult woman - no younger than eighteen, no older than thirty." The guide suddenly stops in her tracks. "Ah, here we are."

You look around and see the same, swirling mists that have surrounded you since your arrival. You open your mouth to ask the guide where exactly you are, but before you can do so she places her hand against your back and gives you a firm shove. You suddenly find yourself falling into darkness. You close your eyes in terror as the air rushes by you, but just as suddenly the sensation of vertigo disappears. You cautiously open your eyes and discover...

  1. ...that you are standing on a battlefield, surrounded by the bodies of slain female warriors clad in armor identical to that which you are wearing. Several dozen male warriors also surround you, but they are quite alive, and look upon you with hate-f
  2. ...that you are standing in a ruddy desert, wearing nothing but a few scraps of silk and pieces of jewelry. The spires of a beautiful city rise toward the heavens in the distance, and two small moons hurtle through the sky overhead.
