King Cipher

Ch.1: Bad Dream

He was surrounded by an intense blue blaze, feelings of confusion, anger and fear overcame him. He was in a small room resembling a living room, and there was someone else in there with him sitting in a chair. By the looks of him he appeared to be an old man. "You're going down Bill, you're gettin' erased. Memory gun, pretty clever huh?" The man said to him. Bill? Who was that? And who was this man? As if someone else was speaking for him, replied. "YOU IDIOT, DON'T YOU REALIZE YOU'RE DESTROYING YOUR OWN MIND TOO!?!!" Was he in this guy's mind? "Eh, it's not like I was using this space for much anyway" he was freaking out, but felt like these feelings weren't his. "LET ME OUTA HERE!! LET ME OUT!!!" As he said that last word he attempted to use some powers but it failed and it fizzled out. "WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING!!?!" he gripped this head in confusion. The man had gotten up from his seat and stood behind him. "Hey, look at me! Turn around and look at me you one-eyed demon!!!" One eye? But he knew he had two eyes. He turns to look at the man. "You're a real wise guy, but you made one fatal mistake. You messed with my family!" He wasn't sure what he was was talking about, as far as he knew, he hasn't messed with anyone. Once again words fly from his mouth against his will. "YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE! I'LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING! MONEY, FAME, RICHES, INFINITE POWER, YOUR OWN GALAXY! PLEASE!" His body began changing forms and glitching out. "WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MEEEEE!!??" He then said something incoherent like it was in reverse, and with an intense foreign anger he reached out towards the man and shouted out a name. "STANLEY!!!!!!" The man punched him in the face and he dissipated into oblivion.

"AAAAHHH!!!!" King jolted awake from his sleep, hyperventilating and clutching a stuffed bunny tightly. What was that dream? It felt weird, almost.... real? He shook his head. No it wasn't, dreams aren't real. "King Are you alright? I heard you screaming" A bit startled he looked in the direction of the talking and was relieved when it was just Luz.
Luz came into the living room where King had been resting and sat beside him on the couch. "Hey Luz, I-I'm fine" "what's the matter?" She looked at him with a worried expression on her face. He looked down, his focus on the stuffed bunny in his arms. "It's nothing". "Oh come on, 'nothing' couldn't have made you scream like that. Tell me what's wrong" He let out a sigh. "Fine. It was just a bad dream okay?"
"What was it about?" She couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. "I think there was this blue fire, and there was a guy there, and I guess I was someone else? Ugh, I don't know, all that I remember is that I died or something" "That's weird, you you don't remember anything else?" He thought for a bit, trying to think about what happened in the dream. "Uuuhh..... I remember being really angry, and scared? I think I was being destroyed...." "Huh, I guess it must have been kinda scary then. But you don't have to worry about it, it's just a dream" "yeah..."He decided he wasn't gonna think about it and went on with his day, any thought of the dream slipped away from his mind.

Later that day, the entire trio stood in the living room. Eda spoke up "I have a task that I need you two to take care of" "Really? What do you need us to do?" Luz asked, always ready for anything Eda asks of her. "I'm gonna need you two to go into the human realm and find more interesting human items. I haven't been getting many sales at the stand lately and I'm running low on stock" King was excited to go to the human realm. "Yes! I finally get to experience the realm of humans!" "Don't you have Owlbert take care of that for you?" Luz asked in slight confusion. "Yes I do, but I want to see what kinds of things you'll find, and give a chance for you to have a bit of time in your own world again"
"Aw, that's sweet of you Eda, but I'm alright with being here" She was touched that Eda had been thoughtful of her. "I know, but thought you might be a little, home sick" "yeah, I guess I am a little bit. Okay Eda, I'll do it" "Alright then!" Eda set up the door and handed Luz and King an empty sack. Opening the door she rushed the two towards it. "Now get going, we don't have all day" They approached the door and took a step through. Before she forgot she added, "Oh, and if your gonna steal anything, try not get caught" King turned to her and replied, "Sure thing Eda!" before walking through the door and entering the other side.
