Chess With Agatha… And The Dark Fortress of Doom

Listen To As You Read…

PROLOGUE;

“No One Loves The Fool…”

“No, Indeed Not”

“But I shall Change This…”

“It Is Within My  Power to Change This”

A Young Girl Sits alone in the Dark Morning Light, of an abandoned apartment Full of trash filled boxes… Trash to her… Remnants of a Former Life… Of a Life… No more

Her Hair Long and Golden… Eyes so Blue, it Hurts the Sea

To Herself… She Speaks

“For The Sake of Verse… I shall call him… Agamemnon…”

“And Every Day when the Sun Cracks The Sky… He comes…”

“His Coming is Sharply Marked by the Limp and Slide of his Injured Leg… And the Tap of  his Black Cherry Wood Cane…”

“And When The Door Cracks… “Agatha” he says… “Come”

“And Everyday I walk Beside Him… Never catching his eyes… No… He would not allow… I merely watch his Foot Slide, and his Cane Tap… “Tap…” “Tap…” “Tap…”

And Then the Voices Come… Like Bees In My Head… They Will Not Relent

“You Shall Need a Knight… “TWO KNIGHTS!!” the Voice corrects itself

“You Shall Need a Magician… “TWO!! TWO YOU FOOL!!” it corrects itself again

And then Agamemnon speaks to me… But not with words… Nor Does he Gaze my way

“There is… Another Life Agatha…”

“A Much… Harder Life”

“Tell Me” I say… And he stops just in front of my school…

Turns… And looks at me

His Eyes are Dark… And Deep “There will be no turning back…. You must be sure” he says, but does not speak.

“Please Tell me Elias…” I speak his True Name.

“Very Well… But first you must Play Me A Game…”
