Chapter 11 – One Big Lizard

We stared on as the massive shell of energy cracked and fell away. Ella-Marie swept me back with an arm. “Behind us Parker.”

Dorothy looked from the creature emerging from the dissolving shell of reality with a cocked eyebrow toward her girl. Toni blushed and squished up her face as she said almost cutely, “Sorry.”

I just stared on in disbelief as Ella-Marie said, “Bloody hell, that's one big lizard.” It was, and I was a little confused too.

I know what all of us were expecting, we knew Toto had been thinking of Godzilla and all those old black and white monster movies of the giant lizard stomping through Tokyo. Apparently, Mnemosyne had used the intent behind Toni's thought to model a similar threat. I pointed at the beast as it shook its head as if to clear it and then swung its gaze to us, “Umm... that ain't Godzilla.”

As the monster roared, it hesitated at all of our confused looks. It hissed out, “I shall be your death. And when you and your allies fall, then we will reshape the mortal realm and shepherd it into what it could have been.” Its massive tongue snicked out to taste the air.

Even Dot was smashing her lips to one side and pointed at the creature, a questioning look on her face. Toto shrugged.

Our confusion seemed to enrage it as it bellowed, shaking the ground and cracking parts of the great stone wall we stood upon. “Prepare to be undone!”

Ella-Marie held up a finger. “Point of fact before we get to the undoing, but why do you look like some little girl's feckin' pet chameleon? Not saying it's a bad look on you, you really pull it off, but I thought you were trying to scare us, Meepleboop or whatever yer feckin' name was.”

This oversize chameleon pulled back a bit, looking confused, and if it wasn't fifty feet tall standing on its hind legs, the expression would have looked cute. Then it roared out, “Silence! I told you that I am Mnemosyne. You will accord me the respect that is due an Elder of Xiltrylnyn! My power quested out a reptile form when I plucked the thought from the weak-minded simpleton and this was the most prevalent one in the area.”

Toto pouted. “Hey!”

I pointed out as I noted the look on Dot's face and felt immense amounts of her reality-warping magic flowing from her, knowing now that the girls were just stalling for something. “That's a mouthful. How about we just call you Meep from Zil? No, that's too much like Invader Zim, so maybe...”

She screeched at us and started rumbling toward us, her power flaring so much I almost couldn't breathe, being a sensitive. Ella-Marie wasn't used to how I felt magic as a physical thing, and being in my body, they staggered when they felt just a portion of what I felt. The remaining buildings that had not fallen in the battle thus far, crumbled in her wake.
