Now there was one entity somewhere in Ilvir that he could tell couldn't have cared
less about his offer.
The Lenuarian Hydra
She of 21 immortal heads who was born of Typhon and Echinacea
and had battled such Godly greats\as Zeus and his son Hercules.
And she seemed
bored and contemptuous of Ilvir's
desperate last ditch attempt to save his
skin.
She appered as a vision in his flailing
mind and Ilvir
could see she had regaine
19 of her previously hacked off heads
and just needed one more
to get "back into the saddle"
so to speak
And with so much as a by-your-leave
Ilvir found himself
confronted by
the 14 foot tall
Lady Monster multiheaded
snake princess the Lenuarian Hydraa.
She was all Regal Bearing
and as she slithered around him with her
huge serpents body
those 19 cobra heads,females everyone
of them
moved around him
like waving grass
hissing and
whispering and inviting
him to cast aside
his petty existence
and become the last Sister that was
needed
to heal the 21rst stump,the one
with a missing head.
Above this weaving forest of cobra heads
towered the immortal eternally living
Queen herself
who made Ilvir
HER offer
She'd been around long before his ancestors were one celled
microbes living on the surface of a newborn
Universe.
And she and her 19 reborn sisters
would be around
long after Ilvir and the rest of the monsters were
way beyond the dust stage
She had no interest in his body
but haad the power to remake his puny head
and mind into the 21rst cobra Sister if he accepted her
offer.
Death as Ilvir
Rebirth as a eternal Sister
with a new Lenuarian body of her own someday.
Dealing with the Dust Bunnies
was a simple matter of negotiation
but if Ilvir refused
he could go sod himself with Hercules
and Zeus for all she and her
Sisters
cared
