Trouble in Othello

Meracles and the Map

Meracles and the Map

Oct 16, 2017

Meracles, the slimy sorcerer, continued to puzzle over his map. He wondered if he would ever find the other 6 pieces.Assuming he had them in the right positions, it didn’t look like a physical map. One represented dreams, another a rogue goddess, and now the World Tree. Looking at the World Tree, he noticed it looked similar. He searched his tomes and books until he found it: A d orbital electron. So was this a dual world? Or what?

He remembered seeing many such tapestries in Maba, or Blue’s, tower, but the wards were too difficult to penetrate there. She was one of the Four Wizards after all, along with Grey, Red, and Green. No one had seen Grey in Othello since two years ago, Red was working on the realization of the Pillar System. Green was writing as well as maintaining his domain in Medieval Europe, and Blue kept to herself. Meracles wondered how much stronger each one was than himself, but wasn’t about to risk his life or limbs trying to find out.

In the end he ate some gourmet frozen meals and sat on his couch, perusing the scrolls of Meracles and Meracles Segundus. His title was Meracles Tertius, and the original Meracles was now a cosmic force with a personality, furthering Darkness and Dreams in general.

So much cosmology for such a short post. Why was Tertius, this version of Meracles, so philosophical right now. He guessed he would continue to track down pieces of the map, and that was his plan for now.

Since the dice have been turning up Meracles # so much, I think I'll do a short story or two (multiple chapters) of his attempt to decipher his treasure map, or at least what he thinks is a treasure map.

Thanks for reading my flash fiction!
