“You know as well as I do that it’s not my choice in this, I just announce who’s with who and right now that your opponent Jerald.” said the man named Paleos. The kid, Jerald huffed again “Fine but do not expect me to go easy on this worm.”
“Um, excuse me, giant floating storm heads? Yeah, um, sorry could you maybe explain why the hell you are in my head?” I asked in the middle of their conversation. They both trained their eyes on me, one incredulous as if he was surprised I could actually talk, and the other curious as to what I had to say.
“You dare interrupt when two of the most powerful beings are discussing important information? Know your place pig!” I was started to get seriously pissed off by this Jerald guy. “Yeah, no. I’m not about to sit here like a child while you two talk about fighting me or something! So you and your grandfather can fuck off!” All while I was talking Jerald’s cloud became stormier and stormier until I was struggling to stand my ground (Or sky in this case) but somehow I managed. “Why you insolent little-” I was sure I was about to get struck by lightning At this point but gandalf- Sorry, Paleos intervened at the last moment. “Jerald, you know the rules. No confrontation until the time is settled, Plus the boy is right, we are intruding in his dream with no permission,. It’s best to do as he says and ‘Fuck off’.” Paleos said with a small smile. Jerald began to sputter “But-but paleos!” Jerald complained but paleos silenced him with a stern look.
“Fine, I will retreat for now.” He turned his attention back to me and growled. “And you, you best watch yourself lest you face the unimaginable wrath of-” “Yeah yeah yeah scary death threats blazy blazy blah, get out of my dream you spoiled brat.” I said interrupting him just for the fun of it. Jerald stuttered in rage and stormed off (Excuse the pun) and away leaving the two of alone.
“You know, it’s not wise to anger him.” I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard the voice of Paleos right behind me. I turned around and found him standing (floating) right there beside me. He was a gray trench coat and old fashioned flat cap. It was hard to see whether or not he was hiding anything underneath his coat so i made sure i was a good distance away from him and stayed on guard.
The old-timer just grinned. “Staying on point eh? Can’t say I blame you after that display from Jerald.” He offered me his hand and I shook it still keeping an eye on him for any sudden movements. He sighed and rubbed the back of his head. “Look son, I’m not your enemy.” Well he did protect me from getting fried earlier, but I still didn’t completely trust him.
“if you’re not my enemy, then who are you?” I asked. He seemed to mull over this for a second, and answered a minute later. “I am an informant.” I stared at him for a moment. “Really?” He smiled at me again before looking at the silver watch on his wrist. “I would love to chat with you some more but It’s time for you go.” His grin grew wider. “After All, you seem to have a pleasant wake up call waiting for you.” He flicked his wrist and everything went blac
