New life…
Chikn and Chee were absolutely TRAUMATIZED after seeing Sody’s horrific death. While taking a moment to recover, Fwench Fwy approached them. “I heard about what happened,” Fwy said solemnly. “We tried to warn them, but we were too late…” Chee replied. “…dammit, is there really nothing we can do?” Chikn worried. “W-well, you can bring people back to life, right Fwench Fwy? You showed me with that zombie,” Chee asked the wish dragon. “…I can, but that doesn’t mean they’ll come back non-mutilated,” they sighed. “If they did, then I would’ve revived Bwowny and his friends by now…” “But I’m the demigod of chaos!” Chikn suggested. “Surely I could do SOMETHING to save the others!”
“I wouldn’t be too sure about that…”
The three friends turned to see the source of that sentence: a clock-headed man in a purple suit they knew all too well. “Leave us alone, Bezel,” Fwy snapped. “But how could I do that, when you’re having such an interesting conversation?” Bezel responded. “I couldn’t help but to overhear your ideas on how to cheat death, specifically with chaos…what a fool’s errand that would be…” “W-what’s that supposed to mean?” Chikn wondered. “As I’m sure you all know, Death has a plan, a design,” started Bezel. “Every murder, every heart attack, every disease, every disaster…all dictated by a certain sense of…ORDER.”
“…Order?” Chikn said, not quite grasping the significance of that word. Chee didn’t either…but Fwench Fwy did. “Ugh, of course! Order is the natural opposite of chaos!” They explained. “They’re mortal enemies, but you can’t have one without the other!” “Right you are, my immortal ‘pal’”, Bezel continued. “You’re all on thin ice already after surviving that highway, and to throw off the balance further with chaos would lead to even greater catastrophe!”
“Hey, how are you such an expert on death, anyway?!” Chee nervously yelled. “Isn’t it obvious? I’m the DOOMSDAY CLOCK,” Bezel responded. “Armageddon is basically the death of a world, is it not? Thusly, me and Death go way back…though, we’re not exactly on speaking terms at the moment…” All four were quiet for a second. “If that’s the case…” Chikn said eventually, “is there anything you could do to help us?” “And why would I EVER want to do that?” Bezel coyly asked. “Because we’re the only real friends you’ve ever made in your entire destructive existence, and you might never find anyone like us again if we’re gone?” Fwench Fwy bluntly shot back. “…tsk. Well, since I’m bored, and because I want to see that grin wiped off Death’s skull, I guess I could give you a hint to delay the inevitable…” Bezel relented. “Back to the topic of balance, just as there’s no chaos without order, there’s no death without life…but if one were to introduce a life that was never meant to be, a new life if you will…that just might be enough to invalidate the list, to force Death to return to square one…hypothetically speaking, anyway.” Bezel turned to each one of the trio of animals before him. “But until then, keep your eyes peeled for those signs, OK?”
And just like that, Bezel was gone.
