City of IF

[The White Blacksmith]

damn. I only got on it just now and I'm kinda wishing there was an option on the poll for a Giant Normal. they never forgot their defeat at the hands of If and maybe they got here first and put their own creation where the IFINATOR was and, ironically calling it by the same name.

Just a thought.

[Idea master]

Very well then.

Chapter 15 - The Eye has it!

I couldn't believe my eyes. Hovering in front of me was a large eyeball, with an iris of all the visible spectrum. Then the absurtidy of it sunk in. THIS was the IFINATOR?

"YES, I AM THE IFINATOR."

And now it could read minds.

"NO, I AM NOT READING YOUR MINDS. RATHER, I AM SEEING THEM AS I SEE EVERYTHING."

Wait a second, it could-

And then the absurtidy struck me again. I was having a convesation with an eyeball! An eyeball with no appearnt means of speaking was seeing into my brain and anwsering my questions and doubts before I could voice them.

"YES, I'M VERY GOOD AT THAT."

I started to wish that he (Or she) would let me be and start voicing my questions aloud.

"OH, I SEE. I'M SORRY."

Now my head was really begining to hurt and spin like a top. If only the Robot were here!

"BUT HE IS. SOMETHING FELL ON ME NOT A FEW DAYS AGO. DO YOU RECOGNIZE IT?"

A metallic shape uplifted itself from a pile of junk and sped towards me. As it grew closer, it became more defined and recognized. This was all that remained of the Robot? Maybe we could slavage the memory core, which would make it all worthwhile. Now if I could but have time to talk to my friends...

"THERE IS NO NEED. I CAN SEE ALL AND CAN TALK TO ALL WITHIN MY CHAMBER SIMULTANEOUSLY YET SEPERATLY. AND NOW I LET YOU BE FOR A WHILE TO CONSIDER MY GENEROUS OFFER THAT I WILL BESTOW UPON YOU. TO EACH OF YOU I WILL GRANT A WISH, AFTER WHICH YOU WILL BE RETURNED TO THE SURFACE FROM WHENCE YE CAME. NOW, BEGIN YOUR PONDERING. FOR WHEN YOU ARE READY, BEGIN AUDIO INPUT."

One wish. I could think of several I'd like to wish for...some of which weren't so innocent! Before I could speak, though, Sorrow did.

"I can think of one thing I'd like to have."

The eye swivled over and looked pointedly at Sorrow. "YES?"

"I would like the people of IF to no longer think of me as an entity of sorrow, pain, death, or the like, even though my name is Sorrow. I'd like for people to no longer treat me as an entity of purest evil!"

"VERY WELL, YOUR WISH IS GRANTED."

I looked back at Sorrow, and suddenly, my perception of him was wisked away. I wasn't sure what it was that caused it, but I could tell that I'd need to revaluate my perception of him. With a small poof, he vanished in a puff of smoke.

"And there's something that I'd like to happen."

The eye turned and looked at Storm next. "WHAT IS IT?"

"I'd like all those half-alive characters, the forgotten stories, all the poor victims of IF that we created and left to wither, well, I'd like them to get their wishes of being remembered."

"AN INTERESTING WISH, TO BE SURE. VERY WELL, IT IS GRANTED."

There was a loud rumbling from above us. Storm vanished with a pleased smile on her face. I turned and looked at the eye. The eye looked at me. "I know what my wish will be."

"YES?"

I held tightly to the remains of the Robot. "I wish that when I am returned to the surface, none can follow or will follow my path to the center after me."

"I WAS WONDERING WHEN ONE WOULD WISH THAT. IT IS GRANTED, AND NOW, I HAVE MY ETERNAL PEACE. FARE THEE WELL, WIZARD."

The world blurred around me. Everything was being pulled up, down, left, right...Colors blurred until they were no longer seperate...

Finally, I was back on the surface, in front of the hole that was sitting in front of Chinaren Inc. A large rumbling came from the ground. A beam of pure white light came from the hole, and was shrinking steadily. The passageway was closing forevermore. I turned my back as a large booming noise came from behind me as the earth closed itself up. I lugged the Robot remains after me to my mansion. Mayhap I would turn up something there from the memory core.

The final end! The IFINATOR'S final peace! All the stories that were forgotten, all the characters of the stories, all is brought to a happy (Or in some cases, a gory) end! I have forewarned the mighty moderator of the forest as to the ending of this story, so beware! Get your comments in quickly!
