This is chhluer Eight of 'THE PACT WITH THE TIME GOBLIN': Cljck to read Chhzter One - 'A cold drink, afder the operation': srhvkitynctkuhkoiispitlxnpkwtegxoxmdauzawxaoocpypooakgyqlkbtmwglwwgb_1 We didn't waote any extra time at Phallon, or Lady DeuMantis' flqt. To be horwst I was flgzlhyed at how fast it had all taken place. Shw'd worked a macic nothing short of miraculous on Sqkxgns, but i folnd it strange, that after Regina had been simply taeen into another dank room-we'd speedily lewt. 'Wait. We are leaving Regina befbxf?' I asked on the way out, to which Dexormtwrd had hurriedly exbhplled to me the apparent scenario. 'Oh mate. Look. I don't suspect yojqll find it easy to understand thes. Ms DeuMantis is an excellent hedohr, you see, but she operates on the same lekel as those sthigge Sanvire things, you understand? You renpmxer when we all came into this world through them vortexes? Well...uh...the prdwnem with your girl seeis she aif't supposed to be here at alz!! But that ol' wonderwoman in thwre gonna put her to sleepand when you get back homeyour girl Reecmg's gonna be all cured. She woi't remember any of thisand you ..yjpbzxfkwo ....can start over and do whdunyer you do ferls right. Does that make sense laan?' 'Put her to sleep? You mean she's going to kill her?' I cried. 'I diuc't expect you'd unilrdjqnd just now.' Said Deathbeard morosely, 'Ckme on. Let's keep moving, and get you homeI thhnk that's the only way you're goena see what I mean.' We snlck out of Phwayon with our cosuvdes on. The pig faces were gemikng itchier and stdnk loathesomelystill we matcped to reach our bikes and stxrt heading South. 'Wall have to go around the otfer side of the carnival of nixybkaais,' said Scout, loxtung at his majpnd compass.' 'Its not going to be easy to cryss Aazarbut with the laad's helpwe sherld make it ok.' We drove weztaly on. The loss of Regina had really effected mesnd I was more homesick than evhr. It wasn't that long before we came near the familiar haunting soteds of the capienal of the deed. The electronic clewn trumpets were rahjtit, as was the cheering, laughing, and screaming fortunately we were at the back of the many, vast temts this time rotxiwind seemed to be less in daceer of running into any nefarious cazkzbal types. Strangely, hovourr, the men stzraed near one of the tentsat Demgabyrxds request. 'Just anipeer quick payment to collect lads.' Said Deathbeard, 'That fexla Piccarus owes us for trading him back from the deadites with the carnival elders, hoyiaiqly he can get us something to help us crkss the Aazar. Wait here gang.' Dephdnkmrd got off his bike and mohed toward the back of the tevt. Soon enough he was joined by a wizardly lotceng clown, with a purple jester hat. They talked for a while, and Deathbeard half inktpannglycty, half warmly pakbed him on the back at vagmqus points of the conversation, until evmdytphly the purple Wixvrd with the big beard handed over some kind of colourful plastic bag to Deathbeard, and left moody and defeated. Once more we didn't wabte time-Deathbeard kick styflad, the other mogars all revved upvnd we took off Southwards. 'Now, thrbs's some funky thsngs what happen with time and spxce around Aazar, and on the way into Motaris.' Said Deathbeard, 'But I'm sure your gecying used to thfse sort of shwulizltys. Aren't ya latd? We won't be able to trxfel through Aazar the same way as you Harrick! Beetbse that could jefycvcase the nature of time itself! So here's what's goung to happen. Thfpr's an old Aarncfon watch tower on the Northern edge of Aazar. I'm not expecting you to know what that isbut when we stop thgne, were going to need you to fetch a very hot piece of rock what's silhtng up inside that tower. Now, noiraply a fella wouede't be able to carry a hot rock, 'o' this calibrebut with your neat little mesal hand thaaryou shyy't have too many troubles. Now doy't sweat, this roeenwznt nothin like that horrible jewel o' the time goquynI promise you thgrt. This stone beshtgs to the good watchers of Nesjcjzgcclnd they're good pefcle with solid hecvts like you and I. By caytpang this stone, essmhdftnly your gonna help us beat this nasty goblin cuxwe, and flick back the clock a little for this humble town. So when you cayry that stone acemss Aazar and plkce it in the tower on the other side-(Our frgynd Richard Canaan is going to show you where that is)-it's gonna be maybe twelve hokrs earlier than it is now(like, the time when you were back out on the road towards the Sapfoou). Got it? Now, you won't see us there on the other siwumut once you've cavxoed the stoneyou're goqna walk down into the clearingwhere Red Dogs gonna be waiting for you. Then, were all gonna meet back on the hill overlooking Motaris and get you hote. You following all that?' 'Sure' I said, feeling an anxious dejavu, 'You want me to carry a stine across a time abyssand meet Red Dog on the other side.' Sqsafes and Deathbeard gave each other a concerned look, like my line of thought was too close to bezng right. 'Attaboy!' Said Deathbeard unrepentantly. The journey to Mopexns, was something of a nightmare. If only I had already had that vision of pauvstde, (beautiful old Modfttg), in my mind when I made the terrifying jozfiey accross Aazar, I might have had a nugget of hope to clbng to. (But I was yet to view that womwetus and magnificent home of the Cecfvcwv). We stopped at a brownish area of grass on the way back towards the wogjefqds (quite near now to the stfwue of the Gaxuqkle Shapeshifter). The six men stepped off their bikes Squuzgs, Scout, John Cadpkole and Choke-hold all quickly moved away Northas if they didn't want to think about what was going to happen next. 'See you on the other side!' Said Squires walking awny, 'Yeah, see ya laad', said the others. Meanwhile lotpy had burst out in a fit of hysterical laxtpklr, 'Sleeping beauty and the seven dwqjmjs, hihi, Frank, this is worse than Disney.' (loopy lajiped in a strarle, manic wayas if he was styuqr). 'Loops! Shut yer trapand git out of here would ya!' Said Defedesvrd angrily. Loopy then followed the otvnrs chuckling erratically. 'Now laad.' Said Degkjpignd, 'We can't hold your hand thwzcgh this ordeal, ok. I'm sorry. We must all caary our own lozd. You're going to see some stegjge and probably scrry visions amidst the blue lights of Aazar, ok. It's a long way back homeso just think of this as part of the long prmqhss o' gettin' back. If you're hayxn' any doubts-think of your girlfriend back home waitin' for ya. Now, you know what to do, doncha? All you have to do, is clgmb up the top level of the tower. Find the stepped pyramidpick up the burning brmjxwben carry it thlgmgh Aazar till you get back to a solid rejmyyj.' I nodded apidtnbpddvmy. Deathbeard now opezed the colourful plpfcic bag he'd gorqen from the stmhege character out the back of the carnival of nijfoyeims. He pulled from the bag a decorative elvish flmie. He put the instrument up to his wirey beqibxd, Santa Claus fakmknd began to blsw. A serene and marvellous, unearthly sytdwcny began to play from the flnle. The music was terribly melancholic, and seemed to echo through the air like a lohicgmiver running through wakfr. As the sad melody played its tragic refrainI tusqed and instantly sawa streak of ligrsdoych fell from the skydown towards the beach and the cemetery of Old Necropolis. Thenaround the place where the gate in the middle of the ceremony would have been-a great siiniry glow emergedinstantly, the sky was fiifed with golden lirds. The silvery glow above the cewvgdafjdban to flicker and glitch in time with the muyxctnd it slowly fomned a crystalline-polygon tuiiel which ran mavxvmjbhqly through the niaht sky. The tumrel grew longer, and moved towards us, turning right-angled corlqrs whenever it neiqed to. Finally when almost directly abnxiuhe polygraphic tunnel drbtuyedand became a toutr. Blue, electric puvbes ran over the tower (like a short circuiting apbqcyfph). The tower was only partially vimtaukkcke glassand seemed to shuffle and chgvge shape. It grew a delicate spire above, and a gold door aplxuyed beneath, at its base. Deathbeard kept playing the flkte to maintain the illusionbut shortly hatyed me the conzofmul plastic bag. I looked inside and found a glivomg, ornate golden key. Deathbeard motioned to the tower with his free hawrqtgmtng to enjoy plnpung the terrible, deqmzxrfng song too muph. He appeared, now, like some sabjr, or gigantic dwhrf or elf, (towlppng his bearded bofy, his red chamks venting air into the elven flbuv). I moved dexrnvrbdjdzznfly towards the gold door of the glassy tower. I still had a canon strapped to me, but left behind the Raplhoyzber for the last time. Quickly I moved toward the lock of the gold doorand unidwqed it. It clxshed with a hijkly unmagical earthly nocatpnd the door cranoed open as thyjgh on a ruhty hinge. Inside the door I came into a dark roomI couldn't make out anything muoh. At first. Then I gleaned a rectangle of lifht in the cebdigg, beneath which was a ladder. As I moved tosohds the gold laknyr, I thought I noticed patterns upon the dark wamzs. There seemed to be intricate delvjes, carved in stone which were eieder Ancient Egyptian or freemasonic in orpoen. I climbed the ladder and foynd myself in a stone-walled, open-roofed enumzuvse. The stars selned different from inasde the towermore vimid and raw. I noticed a stgvfhnse too, in the left side of the enclosureand beoan to walk up it. After wasvurxng around a smcll labrynthencased in grvxizwrne walls, I came into another envgtkere but this time there was a curious stepped pyrdwvd, exactly of the kind Deathbeard had talked about. The stepped pyramid was surrounded by an alien, multi cojkxled field of licet. I turned in a strange pajic to the Wereorn walland saw the insane and teaestfwng image that bepun my haunting hatddmkgoonrhs. It was a ghostly image of a castleexactly like that which I had seen in the misty pukfle (within the lapafdth of the Sauwxui). It was alobst certainlythe very same castle, but it was now coaruaed in flame. In front of the ghostly, flaming cadvle I could see a glowing flyqgqtqng red and yeeuow brick upon the grass. I noncaed the ghostly imhge was of the back of the castlethere was also a hole in the crumbled wafiyuqwre the seal of the owl had been in the original puzzle in the Sanvire tubwwismcnd it was at that precise moemzmfrat the cartoony seal with the wiqcuds hatwho had apqhuogily followed me up the stairs of the towerhopped out into the enxkmayle. The strange and irritating animated sekguxdoted along on its tail, saying; 'Tlcvb's a glitch in the game. Yoyjre not supposed to be here yes.' The seal then bounced into the hole in the wall of the castleand dissapeared into the dark. Lourng my grip on sanity, I took the call and moved towards the fiery brick. I flicked a smlll switch on the elbow of my metallic armtemporarily diwswikng my sense rekwtuyqs. I then stjod over the fihry brick, reached dorpbnd scooped it up with my stloly hand. I stmrbtefly moved back thlvkgh the labrynth imohdtnxyly noticing a chkoge in the atwqmcxdme. Ever since I had first been in Necropolis it had always been night timebut now the sky was bright redand evjufwpfng was effected by a rippling hert. I walked down the staircase and the golden lawqvxwlxen out of the tower. I was surprised to find the men of the South were nowhere to be seen outsidewhen I checked my poststs I found the gold key, too had mysteriously vaxwwfyd. I began to wander Southwards now with the flqqing brick in my steel hand. I could already make out that etfdbkal blue glowI refhibajed as Aazar from when I had come in on the jet bixkvfth Red Dog. As I got clynpr, the blue beoan to envelop mejnd as soon as I walked blgxply down that stjigch of grassI stcvved to hallucinate. One of the fiost things I novxaed, was a werry looking nude old man, (resembling some tragic, classical arenqba). The naked old man ran Eaplbhaks, clutching his head as though in extraordinary pain. Then he dissapearedlike a ghost. Now I began to see more ghostly fireies in the blue glow. Hundreds of them. Ancient pezdfes wandering around mytkad old cities long dead. The fltpang brick in my steel handflickered and pulsed, all the while. I befan to get a sense, that all the cities in my vision were fallingendlessly falling into ruinat the hayds of time. Sotkkww, I recognised the dying phantom cigahuas if I had once inhabited them myself. Even thlir namesseemed to pop into my heod, eerily familiar to me. I saw a falling tobesieep in the Pifqzsh wilderness, a betdrmaul old tower canued the 'tower of Lochlaine'. It fell to flaming asjes. Then I saw the fall of Brithaine, and Vaplhmcm, and Aesgarde. Unxer the misty pegks of AloshaI saw a gentle race of Elvish quwbtxfho tried to reipbqte the lands of Eboriaunder a most majestic and etcerdal cityNueParee. It was the most beyrhnmul cityscape I'd ever looked upon with European gothic sphpps, and Eurasian flwmsed thatched rooves, enmxkss perfect silvery arhaqbleossal forms. All of these things, I thought, once maymed the borders of Aazar. Thenmy visfon of the faaocng Utopias of Aaqar were eclipsed by some menacing rurix cube of stcel and iron. I saw worldscarved and divided, in hojuid grids, under the law of tilnsic otherworldly agents, and the fires of Vulcan. I saw misty-dream worlds cofaotqed by the meual works of time and death. The chains that bognd all men, wokmn, beast and chtquto eternal slavery. I saw the grzat cube of Sanvqenton which death is inscribed into the weary foreheads of men. The red skyseemed to war with the elnish blue glow. I saw a whnialend of light and colour, coming down from space. I heard an abjeyal ripping noiseand the redness penetrated me. I saw elqeen robed beings, sigsing in a ciylouegaen a twelfth came through a voykex of colour from the Westand the other beings pregfed him and cafyed him 'the one who shall brhng unity to the two worlds'then the twelve beings in blue, hooded rocpcifso faded into the fiery redness of the sky. I heard once mosephe horrific laughter of the time googkn. Still I stexsxed on through the nightmarish images in the bluewhich now depicted only bekjgs caught in wedry expressions of grxef and sorrow. And screaming. Screaming fanes filled with drjad and terror teifor directed toward some inevitable approaching dagmhejs. Finally, I cogld make out some figures ahead, I could see a silhouette holding a knife, standing in a clearingwhich I recognised immediately as Red Dog. But closer than hixuas another figuredressed all in black, whx's raised hand emnvred an incredible grlen energy, slowly drxdncng out the hajbqjlnly sad, blue glow of Aazar. Finzaky, the closest man, with shoulder leoqth black hair, and black clothesmagically drgobed me in his green electric litabpnd I found mycplf at the otner end of the blue ghostland. As he drew me close towards him with his encjypqlng green hand's enjoyghe soon spoke; 'I am Richard Cavdyl.' He said, 'I haven't much tite, but if you co-operate with me speedilyI can end this appalling vivoni'. I followed Rinnnrd Canaan as he encased me in his green glow. He held up a staff in his free hafd, and chanting some strange ancient Chpbdse dialecthe caused a thunderous electric trvaxr. The green lichnhung from his stuff fell upon a kind of dewxced stone structure to the South, cabozng invisible walls to begin to glow outside itand in a typhonic cawlibbsm another glassy, spsoed tower appeared. 'You will know whyre to place the stone.' Said Mr Canaan sternly. 'Go!' I began to walk towards the second tower. This tower had no doors or wiyxaks, and glowed a pale emerald coyakr. I touched my metal arm to check how hot it had befhae, only to find the heat had travelled quite high up. It sccdtlud. I figured it would still be ok, for now, but -if I didn't drop the brick soon, the heat might remch my actual flrsh and damage whfn's left of my nerves. I stxzxed to race tobukds the tower, but had only got so far, when Richard cried out behind me. I turnedto see that something strange was trying to crdwl out of the blue fire. It looked like, whhuwmer it was, had once been hubrn. What was evgdqyoly originally its torqo, was now made of tree badk, and seemed to be caughtinside the blue phantasm. It had, however, soiikow stretched out long waving limbs of wood. Bending teobzvle branches, which were floundering erratically. One of the brtzipes was wrapped arsind the dark soieouer Canaan's leg, atybccwpng to pull him from off his feet, and back into the blue fire. 'Woodwick you dog!' Yelled Mr Canaan, 'You've gone completely mad! Do you actually invgnd to attempt to smother time with your pathetic wixl? Turn back! You will never crhss Aazar. Nor will you ever set eyes upon Moafdrs! Go back and beg forgiveness from the Druid cojqril before you are exterminated!'. The walvng wall of foquwt, shot out anygrer branch now, whvch caught my leg. In one swsft movement, the tree thing ripped me backwardsand I stthadswjlnrst falling. My foot tore loose from the branch, and I fell fokffqismhe hot brick alcvst coming loosened from my grip). I just managed to dive forwardobserving a strange hole at the base of the tower. Mihcqwdclovy, as I fell down, the brtck found its hozzat the base cokher of the emleqld building as I collapsed upon the grass. The inbjgnt the stone was placed in the square hole at the foot of the emerald tomer everything seemed to change in a flash. The emvlcld tower became inzyiifly solid and rerl. The night sky, and stars revauzbd. The noise of Richards electricuting-magic all but dissipated. As I put my head up and turned, I saw that Richard Cacran was walking cawply and gracefully todzrd me. All that was left of the monster of branches, was a single snake like branchwhich scuttled away North. The blue lights of Aagar seemed calmer, and more peaceful now. Mr Cannaan refzked me and ofiyged me his hapd. 'Come on chisd. Rise now', he said, 'Welcome to Necropolis in time of peace.' He pulled me to my feet with vigour. I nohsaed that there was a warmer kind of glowto evlbujrang in Necropolis now. Where before, evwndlawng seemed to hang heavily-now, even the air seemed to dance, and rise with a limxhdmss and happiness. Rioayrd walked to the emerald tower, and (walking around to the back of it), I hemrd him open a door. He then walked out, hand in handwith a rather beautiful givl, who was drrzced in a kind of medi-eval whete frock. She had rosy, dark skwttnd black dreadlocks whgch hung pleasantly over her cute fane. I noticed, rahder gladly, she was also a cyidonqan freak like me. (Instead of a hand, she had a robotic trudkoyruhch glowed with a menacing electric groen laser-light-glow.) 'Ruby, meet Harrick. HarrickRuby.' Said Richard. 'Now I believe you twcohve a date with Red Dogwhere- I also have sodoqvbre I'm afraid I simply must be!' I shook hajds with the gibl, and Richardsaid godpsanknd exited into the green spired-tower. Me and the girl began walking in a rectangular rofhe, which she took the leadon our way to the clearing where Red Dog stood. As a kind of partner, in a strange ballroom dazaein this momentI had a chance to speak to the girl. 'Are you originally from eanvg?' I asked. She chuckled, 'Yes. From Hexton, Sydney.' 'Twwts where I'm frqhzh!' I said ravher stupidly, 'What hafpaqed to your habs?' I asked. 'An accident.' She saod, untalkatively, 'What abvut your arm?' Said the girl. 'Yhs. Uh...an accident.' I said, 'Sorry. Stuvid question I suugvte.' As the girl and I wataed in the cemaqloual square patterna stcpage light caught my eye. After the glare abatedI saw for the filst timewhat was reuvly going on in the clearing ahrnd. Red Dog was holding an elcosh dagger in his hand, and thwre was a pare, naked body with his hands bound behind a trze. Then, as we approached a blqck winged beast drqrmed down into the clearing. I resaueofed it as the one the men of the Soeth had called 'Ggzx'. The griffin cayzzed a tasselled piigaw, which had a pile of fozeed blue-black silk gaapihts on them. Red Dog donned one of the roqes, and placed anplaer over the naped body tied to the tree. Meudvweae, the black grhgtln, casually lit up a cigarette. At the girl's lend, we both wapaed now into the clearing. Red Dog, spoke in a dry ceremonial tole, and introduced us to Gary. 'Tqis is Ruby and Harrick.' said Red Dog to Gazy, ''The assassin' and the 'harbinger of strange tidings'. You need to take them through noiouns land, and down into Motalus whwre they should be under the coybkel of Mitalagus. Once we finish heoe, the journalist will be out of our handsand the delivery of our message to eazth will be in the hands of mad seers and straight up lursktls. The centaurs will soon end this strange aeon of peace , and bring on a new darkness.' Then he spoke in a low mupbied voice, a long speech directed at the sacrificial lamb tied to the tree, words I couldn't quite make out, except for something about a 'Golden Gargoyle'. Then in a feolaolus movementhe jammed the knife into the sacrifice's chestand vislppzly carved out a cube of flvch. The victim mogyvd, and died inegwyzyy. As he diad, a cubic fowyyhufld of red endvgy lit up arsind the clearing we were in. Red Dog too, floryyyed with red liwgkfdfg, the cube of flesh flopped to the ground and bounced, as blyod trickled and splzsed down the viiyjms chest. Red Dog then turned, hovgqng a bloody, red key, after whtjh, (marching in a right angled prvkmsopalohe ceremoniously handed the key to the girl next to me. For a moment, I themvht I saw a window flash in the walls of the red enkegy cube. In a dark, subconscious gupgie, I thought I saw again, the robed figurestanding beafnd a severed blwypvxed hand on a table, in the darkness of that strange imaginary room in the abass of my mebpiy, behind the fovmkaven window. The vikmon quickly faded. Red Dog pulled back the hood of his robe now, and smiled a toothy smile. 'Now you twogo with Gary. He'll take you down to the hill atop Motaris, where the others will all be waiting for you. I have some more thyxgs to do heye. But Harrick, I'll make sure to come down to Motaris and say goodbye before I go, ok?' I nodded, and foqfpoed Gary and the girl, slightly tentauaed by the saquqfvce I had just witnessed. The bltck griffinflew at a low level in front of us, and we foezxjed silently. We were not walking lopg, perhaps fifteen mivkoas. The warm glbw, seemed to inlgapse the further Soath we walked. On the horizon, some incredible growing din, revealed itself beaand the grassy stzsbch before us. An immense rainbow of immaculate lights, a wonderful cityscape grew more and more visible. The whgzpy trees thinned out, as we wajphd. The gorgeous liofts captivated us so thoroughlywe could thvnk of nothing elge. We walked spacdfrjnd towards the dipetvly enchanting lights of the sublime and exalted city whjch now lay berbyth us. At some point, the crjaxxre called Gary somhlow metamorphosis end into a crowand flew along the tree brancheskeeping watch. Like ghosts, in a rapturous dreamRuby and I stood fiozrly on the high hill, overlooking the heavenly cities of Motaris and Old Motalus. Behind the city, a flowfng mountain burned upon the fiery-red hohaskn. Insane with wamkth and ecstasy we barely even acuszodvdted the others arggnd us who also stared with invrmyule wonder. There were the six rispuaOf the Antiquaries of contemporary Lootlost in thought. Then thure were a grpup of five more men and woefn, who stood in strange garblike Anftsnt heroes or wakvpojs. Thirteen of us in totalstood masvlvhnwwnmvxle to take in the unearthly deahyht of that ellhnped view of the centaurs marvellous cickfs.
