I won't be making that mistake again.
"I don't think I will, buddy"
"Euhh?!" The fish's mouth was now agape.
"What the hell do you mean you won't?! Don't you hear our doom incoming?!" It frantically flared it's fins.
"Think about it," I said as I pushed my imaginary anime glasses. "You seem to be a very powerful Daiko, that is what you call yourself. Manipulating reality, from street to ocean. So what threat does a cat with a katana hold against you?"
"There's no need to fucking think about anything, chump!"
Snap.
A twig snapped.
The fish's head whipped quickly to the sound.
"Just pick the goddamn second contract already!"
I smirked.
"Too bad for you, marine life. I have a knack for memorizing shit! And so even if I just got a glance," my eyes shot to the contract that made most sens, "I knew your words were bullshit!"
A being with low energy would find a way to retrieve it's energy. Memorizing the shapes of the words from the contract, of course not understanding all of it, I did recognized that the words it said didn't match the fish's descriptions.
"What the fuck do you think you're about to do?! Haven't I saved your ass!"
"And I don't care!"
"Anyways," my hands fully flew towards the contract which made a woosh sound.
"I fucking hate sea food!"
I chose the first contract!
A stupid idea.
But a stupid idea that I made myself!
A cold chill first struck me. Next? The absolute brain numbing pain of my flesh being teared of the bone. Each vein being ripped off, from layer to layer, I was lobotomized by the strange chill that continued to burn me in the cold. Later, flames. Each strand of my flesh screamed in agony, I screamed in agony, being burnt until even my bones were dust. Then again, and again, cold, hell, chill, hell, until, God had enough of toying with me.
"Stupid fuck!"
I numbly heard the fish.
But, it wasn't only the fish I heard.
I heard each individual leaf in the forest, each insect that occupied their habitats, each twig that snapped, each drop of water that either was welcomed by the earth or made ripples on small or large bodies of water.
I was, in that moment, pure light, a concept, lucid.
Like water down pouring on me, energy that was painted purple dripped from the top of my skull to the toes of my feet. Though, there was no liquid state that feel, as I only felt my existence renew each time the energy pulsed.
Then the concept of my being finally took physical form as I felt my bones materialized and living tissue, veins, skin, followed.
From a near pool of water which smelt fresh as it had only rained an hour ago. I saw my physical manifestation.
I was, undeniable, unmistakable—a fucking cock- I mean a small chick!
"Ahhhhh!!!!"
My actual consciousness decided to kick in as some poetic fella was kicked out of my head. "What the fuck was that?! And why the fuck can I smell colors?!"
My eyes shot in different places, panicked of course. From looking at the stars like my eyes were a telescope, to looking at the earth like they were looked through a magnifying glass.
For how much I wanted to black out or maybe die in that moment, I couldn't! My body felt like puking but no sour taste climbed up my throat.
"What... are you?"
I shifted my eyes to the fish
"I should be asking you that!"
Wait...
"Wait..."
It was actually—
"This is... Interesting"
The cat?!
"Hey-hey, weren't you about to kill us a minute ago?!"
"I haven't seen anything like this before, have you?" The cat who was ignorant to my question asked the fish. "Hell like I've seen shit like this" the fish replied, handing out—popcorn?! Is this a show to them?!
"Stop ignoring me! And where the hell did you even get that!?"
Both seemed to scratch their chin like they shared the same braincell that ping pong between their heads. Goddamn it.
"Stop ignoring me!!!"
My annoyance reached to a spike where I saw my arms—small wings! Glow a distinct neon blue. My beak suddenly caught a flame with that same glow. Then—peck!
Peck! Peck! Peck!
My beak was merciless to the box of popcorn the cat held nonchalantly. The fish on the other hand, "Fucker, get your own popcorn!"
Boom!
Ahhh! What now?!
All this goddamn explosion is about to blow my fucking head off my neck!
All our eyes shifted towards the sound.
And in that moment, we all shared the same thought that rolled to our tongues like a orchestra of different instruments.
Mine was of a exhausted trumbone.
The fish, a pissed off percussion.
The cat, an out of tune flute.
We sang the same note,
"Again?!"
