| "Here is Merlyn, Master, a mage who is capable of doing that you
require." She indicated the rather surprised-looking man who had appeared
at her side.
"I have not been called by that name in a month of blue moons!"
Flagg says, laughing a little bit with something that could only be called
humor if one wanted to be charitable.
Frankly, Flagg was VERY angry with being called away without so much
as a "by your leave." Here he'd been planning the most entertaining greet
for that stupid Gunslinger. Maybe, just maybe he'd finally get Roland to
cry off in his quest! And here this genie had yanked him away! It would
take a long time to get back to Mid-world from this distant sector in the
multiverse. He'd barely be able to arrive in time.....
"Okay, what the f**k do you want?" he grumps, dropping the happy, luney
manaic mage monster act. Only wanting to get it over with.
Maybe it would halfway interesting.
Somewhat put off by Flagg rather bad manners, none-the-less Fred and
Astra the Djinn explain the gist of their problem.
"So, I guess the reason why you dragged me here is to help you turn
your squeeze back into a human being?" Flagg finally asks, amazed.
Don't they know what he was?
Yes, it was true he appeared human (and had in this form access to his
powers....making him appear as a mage). But surely this magical being should
be able to look past his seeming and see his true nature!
"Yes, basically." Fred says, perplexed at the surprised tones in this
"Flagg's" voice.
Well, time to enlighten this lady to the true nature of things,
Flagg the Demon sighs, Hmm, should be interesting on how the next action
effects her....considering the connection of djinns to their masters! Should
prove educational. If she survives this, then she'll be more cautious at
who she brings forth via her magick!
And in this sector of the multiverse, he was allowed more leeway on
how he interacted with the Clients....
Flagg's face shifts, showing the black nature of the being within....and
Velus gives off an almost human scream of horror as Flagg throws a black
bolt of magic at him and Fred before Astra can even lift a finger to block
the foul being known as Flagg.
Everything goes black for them and.....nothing.
"You and your little dog to, my pretty!" Flagg giggles, quoting from
the movie he'd borrowed from for the party that he'd planned for Roland
before being so rudely interrupted.
This is a horrible thing that he's done, but hey, the guy is a demon....after
all. A demon who'd good at hiding his nature from casual detection, unfortunately
for Astra the Djinn.
Astra screams as her link backlashes at her. She flickers out, and ends
up in a daze (invisable) in a small town that some would say had an American
Western motif to it. But she's not familiar with such a style and isn't
coherent enough to wonder at that. Seeing a door with a key in it's lock
(also invisible to others...as well as immaterial to others except for
those like herself), she dazedly opens it and steps through it.
Past the large figure....and passing out into a spare bedroom further
on in the keep.....
Meanwhile, somewhat sated by that senseless act of violence, Flagg finds
and opens yet another door....on his way back to Mid-World (maybe if he
hurries.....) when a trio of voices beckon to him from another doorway.....
-
 Intrigued
in spite of himself, Flagg goes over and steps through....and finds a van
with a young woman trying to coax out a large dog out from where he's cowering...
Go Back
