The Death Wraith looked at himself and saw that he looked like a very fat middle-aged man, with glasses that had small, round frames. His arguably blond hair was split into two sides and he was wearing a T-shirt that had an orange lambda symbol on it. He couldn't remember how he had gotten in this state, which was very weird for a creature who is not subject to time-flow. Then, he saw skull_ripper get up and start sniffing some of the snow and it all made sense. That wasn't snow at all!
He quickly detoxed and looked back at what had occurred. He looked at the past events through both his and tawganator's memories, because they were just too trippy to miss. And then he looked at the real events. Apparently they both got so high from the stuff that was in Skull_ripper's plane that they just hugged and shat themselves and then tawg left with the skull while DW fell on the ice and tried to swim through it with one hand. Good thing no one had really been awake to see him do that.
While contemplating this, a sentence flew at him and got stuck in what was now his head, so he pulled it out and looked at it. It read "krio licks his claws and sees the skull is in it as he laughs and makes it ungrabable to anybody because he used magic..... or something like magic... i thought it was called "lughahagu"...."
This meant that tawganator no longer had the skull. The Death Wraith sunk into the ground and stepped outside the world to look at it from above. He saw three years go by and the rise of a great empire, which he didn't think was significant until he noticed that the emperor was skull_ripper and that he had the skull.
This was the peak of all civilization. No crime, no poverty, no disease. All the animals were happy and lived in peace. And all thanks to drugs. Nothing had gone wrong for three years, and skull_ripper was sitting proudly on his throne, in his temple-like castle. It was almost time for the weekly meeting with the delegates from the rest of the world, who all wanted to become subjects of this great African empire. SR and his advisors were walking down the well-lit corridor to the guest hall, talking about what was to be discussed and how everything should be approached. Of the three advisors, the one responsible with economy was walking behind SR and the other two were walking in front of him, so that they formed an equilateral triangle around the predator.
"I think you should talk about technological advancements." said one of the two advisors in front of him.
"I think you should talk about eco-" started the one in the back, but stopping mid-sentence.
SR turned and looked around, but there was no sign of the economical advisor anywhere. He thought this was some sort of prank, so he switched to his heat vision and saw that the advisor was... inside the floor. Switching back to wavelength vision, he turned to his other advisors, just in time to see them fall into the floor as if in a glitchy videogame. And then blood started dripping around him. Faster and faster, more and more, until it was almost pouring. He looked up and saw a puddle of blood on the ceiling and before he could react to it, a black, tendinous mass emerged out of the puddle, forming what looked like a human head. Except there were no eyes or teeth, just black tendons taking the shape of eyes and teeth and as the mouth opened everything beyond the puddle became dark and SR could hear a whispering voice coming from everywhere around him.
"I am the Death Wraith, the avatar of pain, I am the shadow inside the walls, I am the fear of immortality, the tears of weeping mothers and the blood of edgy teenagers who think it's cool to cut themselves for some reason. I'm here to take your skull."
The Death Wraith could feel the fear of being decapitated rise up inside skull_ripper as he touched his temple with his right hand, so he added "No, not that skull, the queen skull, you know."
"Oh." said SR, becoming visibly more relaxed.
"Yeah, so give it." said the whispered voice.
"Well I don't have it on me. I mean it's a freaking queen's skull, it's not like I can just keep it in my pocket, it wouldn't even fit in this corridor."
"Oh, right, heh..." said DW, somewhat embarrassed. "So where is it hidden?"
"It's... it's on top of the throne, it's not hidden anywhere, it's on display, right there, like a trophy, you know."
"I see. I'll just go get it then." said Death Wraith as he retracted back into the ceiling. "G'day m8!"
"What? This is Africa, not Australia" said SR a bit annoyed.
"Whatever nerd." was the last echo that could be heard as the narrow corridor became well-lit again and the advisors sprung right back out of the floor.
And so the Death Wraith went to the throne room, picked up the skull, took the shape of a generic African man and went to the nearest bar to get something cold to drink, because it was hot outside.
MY SKULL!!!!
