Chapter 9: Brief Warning of the Council

You and Bill returned to your room, and, again, you landed on your bottom with a thud.

"Haha! You'll get the hang of it sooner or later... Or maybe not." He smiled mockingly.

You stood up and picked up the mug that your landing had knocked off your nightstand.

"I guess." You brushed yourself off. "When do you expect to go find the next piece?"

"Can't get enough?"

You put your hands up defensively.

"Trust me today was sufficient. It's just that school starts this week, and I can't have you taking me out of class. Everyone already thinks I'm weird, and a one-eyed, floating triangle might end up putting some of the closed minds in a coma," you smiled.

"Ah yes, the systematic brainwashing facility. Public school is so diabolical you'd think that I created it. Ha! But even I'm not that evil!" He laughed nefariously. "I'll leave you to be tortured, and I'll continue surveying for possible hiding places of the pieces."

"Good. I think. What did you mean about being evil-"

Just then a plume of purple smoke erupted next to Bill. The smoke dissipated revealing a figure cloaked in a long, dirty robe. The hood covered the being's face.

"Bill Cipher your audience is requested by the  Revered Members of the Almighty Council," the being said in a raspy voice.

"Wow, what a name, they sure have you around their finger,' Bill laughed. "So, they  request my audience, huh? My how the tables have turned, I even was sent a messenger instead of them rudely transporting me there without warning. Have I been knighted or something?"

"They said that it was a matter of the utmost importance," the cloaked being said, annoyed.

"Wait, but Cipher," you protested.

"Hush, Sunflower, I've got to leave, so you behave yourself," the triangle floated over to you and patted your head. You glared up at him unamused.

"You go enjoy the rest of your day celebrating being a year closer to death. Besides your parents are probably dying to hear about your new friends." His eye smirked, and he floated back over to the messenger.

"Farewell," he winked and tipped his hat before disappearing with another plume of the being's purple smoke.

You scoffed and walked downstairs.

Bill again found himself in the dark circular room with fires lit on the walls around him. The three robed members of the council appeared in front of him.

"Bill Cipher," their voices rang in unison.

"What's the sitch, guys," Bill asked disparagingly, leaning sideways on his cane.

"It seems that thee hath been traveling on physical land. Has thee found a human companion, as was planned," the member on the right questioned.

"Yeah, yeah, I've found myself a meat sack to follow me around, don't you worry," Bill said, twirling his cane.

"Be sure to keep up thine end of our deal, for if not, thine powers we will repeal," the member on the left warned.

Bill rolled his eye.

"You robe heads try too hard with this ancient speak. You're going to hurt yourself one of these days."

"Give head to this dear Cipher in whatever you do, we the council will always have an eye on you," the council announced simultaneously.

"Hey, that's my line," Bill bellowed, but the council had already vanished.

"Those simpletons always know how to waste my time," Bill sighed and dematerialized with a snap of his fingers.
