Quoth the raven
#6 of Omegas
"So did I always look like this?" All-star said as looked at the mirror. He had just been restored after some incident they weren't willing to tell him yet.
"Well no actually." Mimic said as he continued his examination. "You have eight wings six more than you did before. You have two more horns bringing the total to four. You've grown a beak and tail you never had feathers anywhere but your wings, and last but not least you knees used to face the other direction. Oh and you got taller." He paused as he looked at one of All star feathers.
"So I'm completely different from the other guy?" All-star said as he ran his talon through his head feathers. "Then why do I have to use his name?"
"You share few physical characteristics in common with your past self but that doesn't mean you're not the same person." Mimic pulled one of his feathers making All-star wince. "For instance you both have the same mannerisms, the same soul, and the same mind-set". He tossed the feather and it embedded itself in the wall. "While you were regenerating in the egg it probably caused some mutation because the magic used wasn't designed for your species, and as for your oddly selective amnesia your mind was gone when we put you in the egg."
"I took a trip to cloud cuckoo land and you guys decide to bring me back by stuffing me in a potentially hazardous egg?" All-star said as he adjusted his wings into a cloak. "If you guys are my friends I'd hate to meet my enemies."
Mimic rolled his eyes. "It would be pretty hard for you meet them considering you killed 'em all." Mimic picked up the med chart and walked to the other side of the room. "We knew the egg would either kill you or cure you so we took the chance because: one you were out of your gourd two you were dying anyway and three because if we didn't do something you would've killed us."
All-star sat stunned for a minute before standing up and walking out of the room. "They gambled with my life and I killed people and would've killed my friends.... I need some air."
All-star stood in middle of the open fields all he could see for miles was golden grass. A smile crossed his face to him artists and sculptors were second rate the element were true artists. The simple beauty of the world could never be surpassed only given homage.
"Lovely isn't it?" All-star jumped as the voice and a fluttering of wings pierced his solitude. "Sorry didn't mean to startle you." All-star turned to the voice and found a young female raven had landed on the ground about a foot from him. "My name's Lenore."
"Parent's weren't very inventive were they?" All-star said as he tried not to laugh. Lenore gave him a confused look. "Ever read The Raven?"
"No, what about it?" she asked her wings flared a bit and he noticed that she had her feathers puffed up.
"Well in the book the guy is morning his wife Lenore and incomes this raven and all it says even when he's asking for it to leave is Nevermore." All-star explained hoping it would relive her ire.
"My last name is Nevermore." She said with a tone like ice.
All-star tried not to laugh he really did but laughter is more slippery than strapping soap to your shoes and going ice skating and so doubled over in laughter. "I'm hahaha sorry that's not HAHA Something to HEHEHE laugh about." All-star's apology was of no avail. As Lenore grabbed him by the horn and turned and walked towards the woods dragging him along behind her "hey owow stop it. I'm sorry geez."
"Hey really let go of that it's important."All-Star whined as he was dragged along. Lenore released his horn and he stood back up and leaned over her "why did you do that!"
"Because you are an oblivious twit Johnny Alejandro."
"Hey how'd you know that name my mother was the only one to call me that." All-star said puzzled at anyone knowing his real name.
"I heard you got hurt but how could you forget about your fiancé!" Lenore shouted as she held up a ring with a black diamond on it. A rush of memories filled in the blanks. A war a successful battle a meeting of two souls destined to be together another battle another victory sabotage two souls become separated new places new people pain that never eases betrayal madness. "I've been looking for you since we were separated and you just forget about me?"
All-star wrapped his arms around her. "not on purpose I thought you were dead." Lenore laid her head against his chest.
"So you do remember me." She said as she flicked her wings back behind her "do you remember our anniversary?"
"Um ..." All-star scrunched his brow as he tried to remember. "It's today isn't it?"
"Yep. remember what we were going today on our next one?"
"Uhn get married?"
"That's right. So what do you think I'm so angry about?"
"That we aren't married after 700 anniversaries. I can fix that." All star said as pulled out his phone. "Hey mimic can you set me up for marriage ceremony?"
