"A different form, a different time."

~ • ~

Summer had come once again, an odd yellow-green painting the morning sky. Two young men sat in a tree, one wearing a yellow suit and the other wearing a pale red one. They boys spoke in whispers and hushed voices until the one in yellow suddenly started laughing loudly.

The one in red looked at him calmly. "You assume that I am lying." he asked in a subtly annoyed voice.

The one in yellow soon calmed down and looked at Axolotl with a serious face. "You... You're not joking..." the other male shook his head.

"So, I'm stuck- Like this- Forever?!" he yelled, his high-pitched voice grating on the ears of whatever poor soul happened to be nearby.

Axolotl shook his head again, smiling a little. "No, not forever."  the dream demon let out a sigh of relief. "Just for until your human body has served it's purpose."

"BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE A MEATSACK!" the once fearsome demon shouted. "JUST TELL ME HOW TO GET BACK MY OLD SELF!"

Axolotl sighed at Bill's temper. "Bill, do you not remember? 'One way he will absolve his crime. A different form, a different time'." he said, quoting the spell used to reserect the dream demon. "You cannot go back, you must only go forwards now."

"So, what do I have to do? I haven't got all day." he asked in annoyance, crossing his arms.

"You must undo what wrongs you have done in this dimension." he said, standing up and floating over the edge of the canyon just a few feet away.

Bill's brows knit in confusion. "Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!" he yelled, jumping down from the tree limb.

Axolotl turned around with a smile. "Start with your Cipher wheel and go from there. Good luck" he turned back around and disappeared as soon as the sun came up.

"My Cipher wheel?" Bill said to himself. "...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!"
