It's Where My Demons Hide

Chapter 36

Previously on It's Where My Demon Hides . . .

Dipper had accidentally time travelled and ended up in the future. There, he met Alcor the Dreambender and the mysterious Demon Huntress, who was later revealed to be Wendy Corduroy.

At the Time Centre, Wendy explained to Dipper about the Transcendence. After that, Dipper made a dream of 7 crows. Meanwhile, someone out there is going to resurrect someone.

What will happen next?

He breathed in the cold fresh air and smiled.

Gravity Falls, the sleepy town up north in Oregon; Small, yet filled with the greatest wonders; The place where everything started.

Floating in midair, he looked down upon the town.

And the place where everything would end, he thought.

He closed his eyes before opening back again, finding himself in a familiar territory, the Mystery Shack.

It was left abandoned. Its structure had collapsed and all ruined. There were police signs all over the shack, warning pedestrians to walk off and ignore it. He frowned. Such idiotic creatures. He was pretty sure it was Time Baby who gave the orders to hide it from others.

It was no use anyway, he thought. They all knew about it and didn't care; or rather, they were afraid to be any near to it.

Never mind that, he was not here to waste his time over pitying the ruined shack – did he really pity though?

Ignoring his mental conflict, he floated over to a gigantic hole next to it. The Bottomless Pit, the deep, dark, bottomless abyss in the ground.

Being near-omniscient, he knew that this was not a wormhole as he had suggested ten year ago. Instead, it was the Doors of Death, or more like the Hole of Death. It's a gateway between Underworld and Surface. The reason why most things happen to be given back was that the Demons there didn't need them. They got everything anyway. Well, except for socks. It tends to get chilly down there, and he was speaking from experience.

Focus, he reminded himself. He was here to raise the dead. He was here to bring back her. He was powerful now. He could do this.

Grinning, he raised his hands and began chanting, "Corpus Levitus! Diablo Dominus! MONDO VICIUM!"

As he did so, the ground rumbled. The trees nearest to the hole began to shake. He could hear the screeches from birds and the girlish screams of manotaurs.

"YIRMT NZYVO KRMVH!"
(atbash)

Suddenly, a swirl of blue mist emerged from the hole, casting an eerie glow around the place.

A golden tear dropped from Alcor the Dreambender's eyes, as he watched the blue mist slowly forming into a person he knew and cared very much.

After all these years . . .

Finally!

What happened between you and the demon?

Wendy snatched her head and groaned out in frustruation.

What happened?
