A long, long time ago, when cows were gods and green little creatures were masters of “puppets”, life was much better. Was...
One of these “puppets” was a young vanolan boy named Hero. His master was the mysterious green-skinned very old and short creature Mstr Yoo Da, who was also the last descendant of the species Shortojedi greenus. He was an alien, sent to the Earth much before this story takes place by Them, an ancient and very powerful race responsible for the creation of half of the civilizations in the universe, and the extermination of the other.
The young Hero was having fun in the sands near Lut Gholein, crushing Sand Maggot Eggs after his master has killed the Sand Maggots nearby. The attacks of these insects have become more frequent. Dark times were coming... But Hero didn’t know this and was simply happy to smash the eggs, since each of them burst in a small and almost harmless explosion. After he got tired, he and Yoo Da went to their homes. The next day was going to be their last, but they were unaware of this fact.
The next morning was cool and fresh, about 35oC, and Hero decided to get dressed this day, since people usually were naked in this hot climate. He chose his best helmet, actually his only one, which had his name on it, and went to “The Horadric Staff”, the only tavern in radius of about 200 miles, so it was the place where many different people went to have a drink or simply chat with each other. Hero loved going there just to watch the strangers, but today he went straight to the smallest table in the whole place, where his master was waiting for him. Today they were going to Tal Rasha’s Tomb on a trip. Hero was almost as excited as when he was smashing the Maggot’s Eggs. He loved tombs even more than he loved caskets, probably because each tomb is full of caskets.
Yoo Da and Hero went to the local Waypoint and in a moment they were in the Canyon of the Magi. They both threw up, since this was the cost for instantaneous teleportation. Only the most skillful Sorceresses and Sorcerers were capable to teleport without the need to vomit each time. There was a Sand Maggot near the Waypoint and it attacked the master and his apprentice. But Yoo Da used Da Foos, which was a smaller version of the BFG 10,000, very useful for dealing with any enemy. Hero went into the crater and there he found a small shabby Rubik’s Cube, but he didn’t tell his master because this was a forbidden good to posses. He secretly started solving it and just when he and his teacher entered the Tal Rasha’s Tomb, it was solved. But this Cube was not a usual one. It was the key to the awakening of the ancient god called Supercow, who was sleeping for thousands of years as punishment for his crimes against all the inferior creatures. He almost exterminated the Vanols, but Mstr Yoo Da succeeded in his mission to stop him.
“I have a bad feeling about this”, said Yoo Da as he entered the tomb.
“I don't sense anything”, replied Hero.
“Moo! I said Moo!” a third voice interfered.
The new voice sounded as if it came from everywhere. It was a godly voice. Yoo Da realized whose it was. It belonged to his old foe, the Supercow.
“Come out, come out, wherever you are”, said Mstr as he turned on his sword.
Unfortunately, Supercow was already flying on his flying carpet toward him, and Yoo Da very soon felt the carpet with his teeth. Even before his jaw felt on the ground, Yoo Da was struck with The Godly Maul on the head, and then... He felt nothing... He only saw the light in the end...
Hero, as he saw his master’s death, blew out a fuse. And then another one. Now, he felt so free, almost immortal. He charged Supercow, who was amazed by his opponent’s rage, and then dodged the attack. He cut Hero’s hand and now he was harmless.
“Hero, I am your father”, said Supercow.
“Really? You ARE my father?” asked the vanolan boy with hope in his eyes.
“Yes, I am your father... NOT! NOW you die!” and Supercow turned into thin air.
Hero felt it was hot in there, but he couldn’t move. He felt pain in his feet and suddenly realized that his metal helmet was melting, and a big drop of molten lead had just fallen on his left foot. Nearby the mummies in the caskets were burning, and Hero thought that he doesn’t like caskets anymore. He hated tombs too. But it was too late. The heat wave came to Hero. And he was no more...
