King Vine: or is it?
By: Mistress Ravenfyre |
"It took you long enough to arrive. Frankly I nearly gave up on you arriving at all. A thought had crossed my mind that maybe the, what do you humans call him? Ah yes, the Boogie man. I thought may the boogie man may have gotten you". With this he begins to laugh in a high guttural laugh. Still chuckling, he waves his hands above his head and lightning and thunder fills the air. The sound is so loud you clamp your hands over your ears and lean over your knees in a near fetal position attempting to block the noise out.
Suddenly as quickly as it started it has stopped. Afraid to move hands away from ears you peer at him. You see an angelic creature standing before you. Beautiful in all the sense of the word. A vision you were not prepared to see. The demon you are supposed to visit is King Vine one of the most feared of Kings of the Legions. How can this be?
"Now that you are here I suppose we might as well begin with the introductions", the demon states matter of factly, nearly with boredom in his voice. His look at you is nearly contemptuous but he changes that quickly.
"Fear not cowardly human for I only wished to entertain you with my fine ability of making the skies light up and the thunder roar". "One of my talents" he states bowing. His voice is hoarse, as if he has a very bad cold. Not a pleasant voice for the ears of the timid.
"My you are a frail creature, I was expecting more but that is fine. Enough about you, it is time to speak of me alone. I am King Vine" laughing to himself for no apparent reason that you can understand. He continues on. "My main duties are urging love between that of a man and a woman. I aid in sustaining marriages". He clamps his hands together in pure delight, "There is nothing I love more than a good love story". Wiping a mock tear away from his eye.
"When at I am angry, which I will tell you something off record, I am getting better at handling my rages. I stopped in one day to view an anger management session on earth. I must say it did help. With a little modifications I made it a better system for me". He giggles. "I am still working through issues of anger, so as an outlet I make tempestuous storms which will swallow entire vessels whole. Lightning and thunder as you have seen a sight show of accompanies my anger".
"I command over 26 legions of spirits, I am planning on expanding. I am so very under appreciated here".
"I come to you as an angel. It is only one side that I show, every coin has two sides remember. My favorite covering is that of a Hart". With that he has changed into a hart. "Ah, you are looking at my fiery tail". He turns so you may see it fully, shaking it a bit. "Isn't it a fine tail? Everyone likes hot tail". He laughs again uncontrollably.
All of a sudden the walls of the room begin to shake, some of the foundation is cracking. Stones are falling around you. Earthquake in the Underworld? You think suddenly. Gazing around you know that surely you are doomed. King Vine is simply standing there in the middle of the crumbling room, a look of pure disgust covering his face. You hear him muttering "Here we go again".
From the dark shadow of a corner a voice looms out "Earle Furfur, you have gone to far this time with your antics and lies". The noble looking gentleman nods in respect to you saying" Excuse me dear one, but there seems to have been a slight mix up here. You see I am King Vine, this man here is an imposture of the lowest kind. He is in fact Earle Furfur. A known liar".
"He has told you nothing but lies as to his identity". "Here let us see him speak the truth". A triangle has been cast around Earle Furfur. Fure says "Damn, I hate that triangle. It is the only way in which I tell the truth. See it is already working". Winking at you. "Yes, the truth is I am Furfur, the Count of Hell. Once I am in the triangle I am commanded to tell the truth. I will give you answers that are true in matters of both things secret and divine".
His appearance you notice is back to the angelic form. He sees that you are staring at him. "Yes, this is the way that in the triangle I must be seen" he says as if rading your mind.
King Vine stands there looking at the two of you. He is smiling slightly, "Count Furfur, you did tell the truth about yourself. Which my demon friend is rare".
They both begin laughing in unison at that comment. Count Furfur replies "I would presume that King Vine would now wish to share your time. If you will excuse me I shall take my leave. I hope there are no hard feelings over this."
The two demons and human do not move. Nothing happens. The Count clears his throat and looks at King Vine "Would you mind releasing the triangle now?" King Vine laughs "Sorry old chap, forgot about that". With the last word spoken Count Furfur has vanished
King Vine turns facing you "Now, my young soul, let us go to my chamber and I will tell you about myself. Come the trip is a short one".
