The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume III Chapter Twelve<\/p>\n
Anathea said \u201cWhy would the oracle do your bidding?\u201d
\n\u2018The Shadow\u2019 said \u201cBecause it is only fitting.\u201d
\n\u201cWhen I was trapped in the lamp it was near.\u201d
\n\u201cI could hear its cries of fear.\u201d
\n\u201cIt was trapped in the sealed cave.\u201d
\n\u201cNo one knew it had been put away.\u201d
\n\u201cAfter Aladdin freed me, I freed the oracle.\u201d
\n\u201cI opened up the cave.\u201d he chortled.
\n\u201cThe oracle was so relieved, we became fast friends for life.\u201d
\n\u201cI kept her cave a secret, which seemed only right.\u201d
\n\u201cBut, somehow, \u2018Fake\u2019 Kronos found out about it.\u201d
\n\u201cIt has been abusive to the oracle. I don\u2019t doubt it.\u201d
\n\u201cThe oracle will be more than happy to trap \u2018Fake\u2019 Kronos.\u201d
\n\u201cThe oracle knows what will happen. It doesn\u2019t know.\u201d
\n\u201cIt is way to arrogant to even ask about that.\u201d
\n\u201cWhich is great. We will trap Its ass.\u201d
\n\u2018The Shadow\u2019 vanished to talk to the oracle.
\nHe took the box along to show the oracle.
\nThe oracle speaks from a well in the cave.
\nThe oracle cannot be made anyone\u2019s slave.
\nWhich is why \u2018Fake\u2019 Kronos wants the \u2018genie.\u2019
\nIf It trapped him, It would never set him free.
\n\u2018The Shadow\u2019 told his plans to the oracle. It already knew.
\nIt said \u201cI will play this game of deception with you.\u201d
\n\u201cI won\u2019t be lying because the \u2018genie\u2019 will be here.\u201d
\n\u201cIt is just that the total truth will not be made clear.\u201d
\nThat was exactly what \u2018The Shadow\u2019 wanted to hear.
\nHe said he would be right back with the others.
\nHe was gone, then almost instantly back with others.
\nEven the oracle was a little mystified by this.
\n\u2018The Shadow\u2019 was there, or was it just a mist?
\nThe others hid out of sight for safety\u2019s sake.
\nThey didn\u2019t want to make a mistake.
\nThe oracle contacted \u2018Fake\u2019 Kronos with the news.
\n\u201cThe \u2018genie\u2019 has returned. Come now. You can\u2019t refuse.\u201d
\n\u2018Fake\u2019 Kronos got a big old grin.
\nIt zapped there instantly. \u201cI will trap him\u201d
\n\u201cWhere is this \u2018genie\u2019 you told me about?\u201d
\n\u201cIn the box there. It is its new home. It can move about.\u201d
\n\u2018Fake\u2019 Kronos walked over to the box.
\nSet Its hand on the top. Sneaky as a fox.
\n\u201cI don\u2019t detect anything strange here.\u201d
\nIt lifted the lid. A rush of wind pulled It in.
\nIt let out a scream & tried to jump out.
\n\u2018The Shadow\u2019 sat on the lid till it sealed shut . \u201cNot getting out.\u201d
\nThe box was shaking and jumping about.
\nThe others rushed over. Anathea worked her spell.
\nThe box got still. It seemed the spell worked well.
\n\u2018The Shadow\u2019 pointed his wand at the box.
\nIt floated into the air, then vanished from that spot.
\n\u2018The Shadow\u2019 vanished also. In seconds he was back.
\n\u201cI have delivered the package. That\u2019s the end of that.\u201d
\n\u2018The Shadow\u2019 appeared in Frankenstein\u2019s lab,
\nalong with the box. Only Egor was there, looking sad.
\nHe jumped, and almost feinted.
\n\u201cRelax\u201d, \u2018The Shadow\u2019 said \u201cThis visit is not tainted.\u201d
\n\u201cI have brought you your creation. The \u2018Fake\u2019 Kronos.\u201d
\n\u201cIt\u2019s memory is erased. There is nothing that It knows.\u201d
\n\u201cIt will become Frankenstein\u2019s monster.\u201d
\n\u201cI will produce all the surgical scars on the monster.\u201d
\n\u201cUsing magic, that can never be detected.\u201d
\n\u201cThis body you have here, I will dispose of. It won\u2019t be resurrected.\u201d
\n\u201cPut your creation in its place.\u201d
\n\u201cNothing needs to be done in haste.\u201d
\n\u201cDr Frankenstein won\u2019t notice the switch.\u201d
\n\u201cTell him it has a good brain. A good fix.
\n\u201cHe will be so happy, he will fix your hump back.\u201d
\n\u201cI will work a little magic on the Dr. so all will go smoothly.\u201d
\n\u201cThis monster, without a soul, will be a real doozy.\u201d
\n\u201cThe rest is up to you. Do you understand?\u201d
\nEgor said. \u201cYes, yes. I will do all I can.\u201d
\n\u201cI know you will for the rest is all history\u201d
\n\u201cWho, or what are you?\u201d It was a mystery.
\n\u201cI am \u2018The Shadow\u2019, that\u2019s all you need to know.\u201d
\n\u2018The Shadow\u2019 helped Egor make the switch.
\nThen \u2018The Shadow\u2019 did magic to make the stitch.
\n\u2018The Shadow\u2019 appeared in the Dr.\u2019s room.
\nHe did a spell that would help the Dr. soon.
\nThen, \u2018The Shadow\u2019 took the other body.
\nLeft it in the in between. It wasn\u2019t shoddy.
\nThe body just ceased to exist.
\n\u2018The Shadow\u2019 returned to Egor with a warning about all this.
\n\u201cNever speak of any of this.\u201d Egor took the warning to heart.
\nHe would never speak of this till, through death, he does part.
\n\u2018The Shadow\u2019 was back with the others in a matter of seconds.
\nHe related to them all had happened as expected.
\nThere was cheering and partying going on.
\nWord was spread throughout the world that It was gone.
\nTheir job complete, they returned to their heavenly homes.
\nThe Chronicles Of Kronos comes to a happy end. No more foes.
\nWill there be more tales of where he goes?
\nPossibly a prequel?——-Who knows?<\/p>\n
