Logging off

When I was a young boy, and so was Thor, Odin told us bedtime stories. Those bedtime storys lasted until we grew to teenagers and went on our own. But among these stories stood out a fabled creature called 'The Realm Devourer'. A creature with several black tails dotted in red. The tails came out of a contrasting dark gray lizard skinned animal being huge yet it had the body structure of a dog. On the front side would be a pair of three black tentacles long and huge wide enough to take down a mass of mortals. Its paws fed off the landscape absorbing into the creature. It wore the skeletal head of a ram lacking eye sockets. The long curly thorns were intimidating,

This creature never had ears.

It had one last long tentacle above the large front legs acting as extra support.

It had triangle spikes with a missing circular half in the middle and it seemed that only tough skin kept in these parts. Whatever the realm devourer touched it disappeared from existence and fueled into his body; that is how many forgotten realms collapsed under the attack. But that stopped way before Odin's time because the remaining realms partnered up and took their greatest efforts to send the beast to where it will never come out again.

At least they thought it would never return.

I slowly saw most of the States disappearing off the map for the guide.

Something is going on within Wattpadheim.

"So what's up, King Lok'?" IlikLoki asks, as I am on a mountain overlooking the Science Fiction state. "You sure love climbing or something."

I held my index finger up.

"Something is missing," I said. "Something obvious."

"...There's nothing missing on my private messages." IlikeLoki said.

"I mean the states, mortal." I said. "Hasn't it been enough that you forgot about General Fiction?"

IlikeLoki stares at me.

"What," IlikeLoki shook her hands. "I do not understand your question."

"Your realm is being devoured," I said.

"You know Wattpad is not a realm." IlikeLoki said.

"Then what is it to you?" I ask.

"A website." IlikeLoki said.

"Your favorite website is being eaten," I said. "And whoever is in the current realm at the time is being...taken out of existence let's say. Even if they are not in the realm but are on a computer or a phone; they are gone. Nothing left of them."

"Uh...that sounds serious." IlikeLoki said.

"Do you anyone who lurks in this state?" I ask.

"No," IlikeLoki said.

"Whovians?" I ask.

IlikeLoki blinks.

"Yes," IlikeLoki said. "I do."

Then the ground shakes.

This is phase two of the realm devourer plan.

You don't notice your realm being eaten until the ground is rumbling and pieces of land disappear in thin air. Phrase three is when the beast is visible to the human eye. Taking down the beast will be harder to do if this realm has the equipment. IlikeLoki fell over landing on the ground. A roar came in the distance that sounds not 'of Midgard animal'. Clouds flew over leaving behind a blue sky in a state where science is everywhere. I watch front paws to the RealmDevourer take form.

Oh hell.

"Quick," I said. "Start telling your other associates about the realm being eaten! They must log off and when you're done; you do the same."
