The Old Dead man listened close. The mention of a Druidess perked him up and he spoke -An Tiarna- 'Then hope she has the presence of mind to approach Grace. She's a neat one. But I suspect your Druid would find that little girl, Maureen, most interesting. She's a bit of.... how you say? A bloody freak.' The Angel at his side stiffened up at the last comment -The Angel- "What he means is that she's an anomaly.' The celestial being added quickly -The Angel- 'Not to mention that bird is Otherworldly.

Reaching one ham sized hand into his furry britches, Greer retrieved the desiccated hand he had found in Valley of the Dead and cracked off another finger. He tossed what was left of the hand over his shoulder, which was basically just a palm now that he had removed all the remaining fingers from it, and let it fall away into oblivion. He then plopped the mummified digit into his mouth and summoned his flying pig over with a wave of his hand. The celestial being, who could have been named Whill Pork Tenderloin based on the way he looked, ignited a match with his hoof and lit the end of Greer Kahn's makeshift cigar. The gamorrean spirit enjoyed the smoke for a few moments as he listened to An Tiarna.
"Maureen, eh? So she has a touch of destiny in her then." He moved the cigar from one side of his mouth to the other, almost playing with it. "Your blood must be strong. I imagine you are quite proud." He scooped another cup of ale and sent it down his throat hole, not even bothering to swish the contents around his mouth.
The more he learned about this An Tiarna, the more he liked the man and his extended family. If the spirit seated across from him had been on Pzob in his time, Greer had no doubt they would have been rival war chiefs. He would have enjoyed pitting his clan against such a worthy adversary.
He grinned at the angel. "Anomaly, maybe. If she were born into my clan, we would have made her village shaman. It is a rare thing to be blessed with such gifts of the fey."

The Old Dead man sat quietly, which said a Helluva lot for him & The Angel took the stage -The Angel 馃懠- (aren't those emojithingimagigs cute?) "Grainne. They call her Grace in the Standard tongue. Sweet girl. Pretty too. Lost one eye, indeed half of her face, shame that...." Brushing that ugly incident aside for another time she continued with her tale -Where do I begin? She was here you know? Life was cut short." Eyes narrowing -The Angel- "Shame that; pretty girl." Looking at the lump of meat beside her then back at Bey - The Angel- "They were all dead." Tip of her Celestial tongue running across upper lip then nodding to An Tiarna the she smiled -The Angel- "At some point he blew up, terrible temper really." Eyes thinning - The Angel- "My where was I? Yes. The little girl." She stopped a moment so that Bey might ingest her words, then went on with the tale -The Angel- "The Monster here, as so many like to call him, challenged the Powers that Be as to what logic inspired striking life from one so innocent." Signing deeply - The Angel- "Sounds strange from such a Man. Spirit I guess." And at the word 'spirit' he interjected -An Tiarna- "You mean spirit as in booze?" The Angel's facepalmed with her left - The Angel- "Drink that." A bottle appeared on the table and An Tiarna obliged the request - The Angel- "At any rate, their lives were reestablished." This one portion of their story scarcely toucher upon the whole history of the three but gave a key part of their Tale of Life. And The Angel neatly omitted both The hound and The Raven but more for the sake of brevity than intention to conceal. Those of keen eye would ask of them.... And she would tell

Greer Kahn shifted uncomfortably in his seat, listening quietly. He was paying attention, though the subject matter was rather taboo where he came from. He doubled down on his vices as he listened to the somewhat sad tale, smoking and drinking in equal measure.From what he could determine it sounded like An Tiarna ended up here after taking his own life in either a grief or anger stricken state after losing those that were so important to him. Then somehow they were given a second chance, but he was not. It felt unjust to him, and he hadn't even been there. Sometimes the gods/fates, whatever you wanted to call them, could be quite unfair. The closet Greer Kahn had ever come to losing someone important to him was his wife, the clan matriarch, to a bad case of the snout-pox. That had been tough, but it hardly compared to the loss of a child. If something had happened to Bey when Greer was still alive, well, he didn't know what he would have done in that situation."The fates are cruel." He snorted in something akin to anger. "They took from you that which was of the utmost importance, forcing you to perform the most heinous of acts, then they conspired again to keep you separated from your kin even in the afterlife. Cruel indeed."Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! The dead gamorrean boar cracked his knuckles, staring menacingly at the Angel as though he were responsible for An Tiarna's woes. Hot steam poured from his snout, his eyes glinting red as though the blood in his veins was trying to boil its way out."Whoever is in charge of this universe has a lot to answer for."

As The Old Dead man sat concentrating on the bottle in front of him The Angel struggled not to know Geer Khan's every thought and feeling. Such was a natural attribute that she owned and one she found robbed her of a unique aspect of the human experience, that being interpreting the thoughts and feelings of another by the words they spoke and their mannerisms. The frustration Geer Khan exhibited with the nature of things was indeed something they shared entire. And in all her omnipotence it was something that should Chad only limited ability to alter

As the two continued to converse, something odd was happening around the table. The view of the universe that had been fixed on Juvex began to brighten and come more closely into focus. The floor beneath their feet was starting to vibrate. Greer looked down and lifted one foot off the floor, though it didn't seem to change the constant thrum that was coming from their surroundings. A breeze kicked up and grew stronger, the occasional gust almost knocking his drinking cup off the table. He snarled and snatched up his drink."What the sithspit is going on around here?" He asked, confused and also mildly excited.He could see from his view of Juvex that there was a gathering of individuals forming. Some were chanting, some prayed, some even played the drums. There was even a fat gamorrean carrying a long sp... "My spear!", he thought. He had been looking for it so long in the afterlife, it never occurred to him that the weapon hadn't come with him. But there it was on Juvex, in the hands of some dimwitted boar covered in flies and morrts. Greer stood up from the table and the chair he had been sitting on was blown away. There was a wild energy in the air. Random spears of light radiated from the image of Juvex.It looked so real. Almost like he could reach out and touch it.

The reality of something peculiar happening did not escape The Old Dead man. Of course given where they were fantastic occurrences were not exactly out of the ordinary. indeed here it would be off for something ordinary to transpire. & speaking from that mindset he flippantly remarked -An Tiarna- "No worry Pig; you'll get used to that kinda nonsense here." The Angel such is side remained conspicuously silent. Something was up in the Land of the Living, more specifically on Juvex

Unfortunately for the Pig, there wouldn't be time to get used to such things. The clock ticked down to the last minute for his time in the afterlife.
At least for now.
As the summoning on Juvex was reaching its zenith, it was Greer Kahn in the realm of Harmony who felt most affected of all. The winds continued to blow and he felt his sandaled feet begin to slide across the floor. The distorted view of Juvex was swirling around, transforming into a vortex that threatened to swallow him whole. He braced himself on the table they had been playing cards on, grabbing the hard wooden surface with two ham sized fists. This lasted only a second, however, as fate would not be denied its prize. Starting at the tips of his fingers, Greer began to dissolve, his hands quickly turning to ash which was rapidly sucked up into the vortex. Without a means of holding on, he found himself tumbling end over end towards the portal.
He wasn't even sure why he was fighting the inevitable. After all, this was what he wanted, right? A second chance. Still, there was something in his gut that told him he would have been happier remaining dead. Too late now...
Before the swirling black hole that was the image of the living universe, Greer Kahn caught himself one last time, planting his feet in the cotton soft ground and locking his stance. Two gleaming red eyes fixed themselves on An Tiarna, steam venting from the gamorrean's snout, only to be vacuumed up by the vortex along with the rest of him. He managed to say one last thing to the first friend he had made in the afterlife.
"Don't let the ale spoil." He strained to say through gritted tusks.
And at that moment he simply exploded into a cloud of ash and was ripped from the netherworld, destined to be spat out somewhere else.

The Old Dead man watched & listened. briefly turning to his Celestial companion he spoke -An Tiarna- "No wonder they have so much trouble filling the temples these days with Death being such a temporary thing." Signing deep she responded - The Angel- "I must admit that Death is nay what t'was in The Days of Yore.'

From his heavenly Home Harmony above The Old Dead man looked down and he saw. He was his Friend.... & he spoke -An Tiarna- 'Look! Pork Chop. No Ham Hock? No! Damn it! Bacon? Bacon that's it!' & he smiled.... The Angel spoke correcting his foolishness -The Angel- "It's Bey Kahn.... Bey Kahn. It just sounds like a pork product" ... An Tiarna saved a hand. He smiled as he watched. He watched as his Friend moved from place to place, landing & freely moving through space. Again & again..... &? yes. Again. It was Devine watching his Friend..... Going around the Mighty Universe uninhibited. Free. How wished to be Free of these Wonderful Chains that Bond him down here. He looked more. Troubled eyes stopped on Hoth. His gaze touched upon each &every member of his Family there. And his eyes tell on Gid. Then the Hand Maid Tail. Then Gid the back to the ship. Again & again & again & again....

& The Old Dead man looked Down from on High. The Universe was on the backburner for a moment as he watched a familiar facelift struggle through The Valley of Death, which sounded pretty cool but was not at all what it was hyped up to be. Anyway he watched as Briget struggled. Suddenly he declared -An Tiarna- 'Maybe we should help her....' The Angel responded -馃懠- "Wonderful idea! Let's go!" Giant right hand waving -An Tiarna- 'Ease up there sister; I said should.' With a giant smile and thinning eyes -An Tiarna- 'She's doin just fine.' Eyes wide and mouth agape his celestial companion was left speechless

The Old Dead man crept to the edge of harmony. How long it took before any caught on that he'd unzipped and was now sprinkling on the Universe below none will ever be sure. His celestial companion indignantly said -The Angel- "Oh AnTiarna! I'm so disappointed." And himself responded -An Tiarna- "No, really - they like it. Or they buy an umbrella." The Angel's mouth dropped open in shock -An Tiarna- "True. They call it p.r.e.c.i.p.i.t.a.t.i.o.n." Sitting down he lit a cigarette

The Old Dead man, now back from a walk was in a good mood. His celestial companion asked -馃懠- "And did you enjoy your walk?" Smile wide - An Tiarna- "Did I? My Home." Scratching head he commented -An Tiarna- "Did you notice that One kid pulling Golan platforms from out of nowhere?" The heavenly heroine clearing her throat -馃懠- "Well. Not very realistic"馃懠 & himself agreed -An Tiarna- "I'll say it's ridiculous. Universe is going to Hell in a handbasket!" The Old Dead man was not sure but that whole mess could easily be brought to question

The Old Dead man sat with The Angel observing. Suddenly a giant right imdex digit pointing out, food flying from his mouth -An Tiarna- 'Uook! Maghjne 'Iz datz runy gonmo stumped!!!' Being used to his idiosyncrasies his celestial companion sat and listened. Then she slapped him across the face. Hard. Having gotten his attention, the heavenly creature then handed over a glass of water to the man and spoke 馃懠The Angel馃懠 "Sorry I had to do that. Now drink that dear and tell me what you're trying to say." Drinking the water slow a much calmer Tyrant zpoke, first nodding to The Angel -An Tiarna- "Go raibh maith agat." Then turning again and pointing to the Universe below -An Tiarn - "I said 'if that's Ren on My land is Stimpey coming too?'' Actually giggling a touch she responded 馃懠The Angel馃懠 "No honey; wrong continent." The Old Dead man nodded saying -An Tiarna- 'Oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'

TheOld Dead man staggered to the very edge of that which separates where this The Other World from Our Own Living World. And he commenced to vomit -An Tiarna- 'Well that feels better.... For me. ' Clearing throat -An Tiarna- "Not sure what they'll call it down there." With a swipe of a giant right hand -An Tiarna- "And who cares?" The 馃懠 then suddenly kept forward, UZI held from in hands and burning cigar betwixt her lips she unleashed a nail of shells. Sitting the Angel calm did reply -The 馃懠- "My that does feel good."

The walk was long. And at several points the girl asked herself ~Have I done this before?~ But that was fleeting. Now was the moment. And that mattered. They finally ended up in this beautiful place.... It seemed so full of life. There she froze. Life was no more. Past tense. This was death. So on she walked. Her new friend Sekhmet walked with her. And they spoke
