Chronicles of the Wolf III: Brotherhood of the wolf

Chapter 6

Andromeda as Luna Nova walked down the hallway shortly behind this mysterious Archimedes Doink.

“How much do you know of the young master?” Archimedes asked.

“Besides him being an evil bastard?” Luna said.

“Well that explains him to the letter,” Archimedes chuckled.

“Why…why are you…” Luna asked.

“Different?” Archimedes asked.

“Yes,” Luna asked.

“You see Aldibah was a planet that the Cherapakah Empire has never really been able to win over, oh that’s the young master’s family” Archimedes said, he added this for Luna who nodded. “We protested a lot of their decrees and we did refuse to bow down completely to them.”

“Wasn’t that dangerous for you guys to do?” Luna said.

“Yes, that is true,” Archimedes said.

“Then why are you doing it?” Luna asked.

“Ms. Luna, there is one thing you must understand.” Archimedes said. “The young lord is the 21st Cherapakah, and at the same time he is the first of this current rule.”

“This means…” Luna asked.

“Have you heard what many people refer to him as?” Archimedes said.

“Aside for that moniker he has now?” Luna c****d her eyebrow.

“Pervaya Cherapakah,” Archimedes said.

“Wait that doesn’t make any sense,” Luna said.

She knew enough of that weird tongue of theirs to know exactly what he had said. The First Turtle, or more appropriately Turtle One. That was a peculiar thing to be called. Especially considering what kind of creep he was.

Luna remembered the records she had found of this young lord as Arhimedes called him. Twenty rulers had ruled over the Altanim, that belonged to the Cherapakah family. The last one being D’vantyk Cherapakah whose name literally meant the Twentieth Turtle. Tenshi was the son of D’vantyk, and he was not even the eldest he had no right to the throne from what she recalled.

That did not matter to him, however. He killed all his older siblings. Making him the sole heir to the throne, and waited, and waited for his father to die, but no matter what the old man kept kicking and living. So Tenshi decided to no longer wait for his father to step down or die from old age he took matters to his own hands and the result was what was and had been happening. Total and utter obliteration of several civilizations. Including some of the oldest races in all of creation.

“Lady Aras is the key, she will be his downfall.” Archimedes said.

Meanwhile

“What the hell did he mean without it, Shiva could not destroy all the universes?” I asked as we suddenly reappeared back on Vega.

“Ask your friend there,” Hanuman said pointing at Walker.

I looked at Walker who suddenly looked like he had seen a ghost.

“What are you talking about?” Walker asked.

“You used my murals to get yourself transported here,” Hanuman said. “You turned into Willow and Robo you and shadow you and back to another Willow and a bunch of other stuff because you grabbed a mirror instead of reading and adhering to the instructions, I gave you.”

“I have no idea what you are talking about,” Walker said but it sounded like he was not totally honest when he was saying that.

“Oh yes you do, you followed Tanya here, she was a big busty girl in your universe.” Hanuman said. “I figured that a big busty girl would make you look for it, but I was kind of hoping you would have read the directions things could have ended up differently. Anyways I needed someone to find the damn thing and you did, I guess that’s all that matters.”

“What in the hell are you talking about?” I asked.

“Go ahead tell him,” Hanuman said to Walker.

Walker was looking around trying to see if he could get out of this somehow, at least it appeared to be that was what was happening. Walker looked at Hanuman then looked at me, then looked back at Hanuman.

“I know who you are from Walter Zuniga,” Hanuman said.

I looked at Walker when Hanuman said that.

“I know what you were,” Hanuman said. “You were a treasure hunter your home universe was Universe 617. You went around looking for treasures all over the cosmos, and then a girl showed up named Tanya. She kind of sort of seduced you into accepting the job. Hey, guess what she ended up here somehow and the Tanya that is here is actually the same one you knew back home.”

“Do you know what he is talking about?” I asked.

“No point in hiding it,” Walker sighed. “I…came from another universe.”

“Join the club,” I snorted.

“No but he has a point I was the one who got myself transported here,” Walker said sighing heavily.

“But how is it that you…” I asked. “You seemed to have a profound affection when Victor was going crazy on us two years ago.”

“Because I lived with them for two years before you showed up,” Walker said. “I was an adult in my universe here I am just some kid.”

“So, you somehow made it through here?” I asked.

“I used this thing called the Zerkalo Aaena,” Walker said. “It was used by Lord Brahma to go to different universes. I studied all about that, but I never…”

Walker froze and then looked like he realized something.

“Brahma had something in his hand when he was travelling through the portal.” Walker said looking at Hanuman who tapped his forehead as if signifying something. I didn’t understand that gesture, but Walker seemed like he did.

“Methuselah is Brahma’s kid,” Hanuman said. “And you just saw that he gave it to Kyzl who was one of like 10 million girlfriends he seemed to have.”

“Then that thing was on my planet, and Da’Mon, I mean Hunraken was on my planet trying to find it.” I said and Hanuman tapped his head again.

“That’s right,” Hanuman said.

“So, what does that mean exactly?” I asked.

“Before I sent him to go find that mirror Hunraken was looking for it. He disappeared off the face of the universe after the whole Time Trapper incident, I did not realize that this was because the jack ass had found the mirror and transported himself accidentally to your world.” Hanuman pointed at me.

“And that ended up benefitting the Lizard because he ended up having an informant on my world.” I said realizing what that meant. “Da’Mon was knowledgeable in our myths and customs, he must have told them to the Lizard and that was how the Lizard knew that Lacia was a descendant of Kyzl.”

“That explains why he left when Lacia died,” I said suddenly realizing this fact. “He must have thought his trail to find this thing died with her.”

“In a way it did,” Hanuman said. “But the Lizard as you call him, had a back up plan. Your dad knew all about the legends and myths also. So, he captured him.” I froze when he said this
