[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 1.1: Reflections on the Wind[/glow]
Far in the forest fields a mouse scurried along doing mouse things. In it’s everyday struggle to survive it had adapted to the usual fracas that demons, demon hunters, and other things caused by their kind. Today however it found itself in a bit of trouble. An owl of sizeable proportions swooped down upon it. The mouse was crushed in the powerful talons on the owl who oddly enough ploped to the ground dead; nearby an identical owl departed from a tree along a dirt path.

“Well journal, today is another gorgeous day. Mye looks so stunning as always. Zeno got quite the scolding from her earlier. I still feel bad he didn’t get the girl but alls fair in love and war. Today has been normal otherwise except that flock of dead birds. Such a mess to clean that was. Anyways it’s times for dinner. Tschüs.”

See, I'd guessed that, and suspected that Tony may have been the 1.2 viewpoint... this could be really cool, I am looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Given your track record, I have high hopes =P

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 1.3[/glow]
“What a day; dinner, a scolding, 3 failed potions, and Kavonn’s hat became a jackelope cannonade.”
“Ja toots, it were crazies.”
“Well at least it’s over. Night Tony.”
“Good night liebe.”
And so Tony and Mye settled to bed for the night.
Outside a familiar owl was staring at the wall or, rather, though the wall. A rustling interrupted the owl’s concentration. The owl turned its head 360ºs. KRZZZT!!! The owl fell in half in a rapid descent to the ground. The owl’s organs were circuits and motors and oil was its blood.
Two short for stature individuals with staves approached the owl; Charby (with his staff of Oswego) and Kavonn (with his wand).
“What do you make of this Kav?”
“Nothing good Charbs. Let us wait and see how things develop.”
With that Kavonn and Charby vanished into the night. The owl twitched a couple times and its eyes glowed bright red with the words “Upload Complete”.

Ahh the matrix. That movie was terrible. And not because it was bad but because it had too many sequels.

Hm... so was this owl the one whose computer systems we were getting a readout from in chapter 0? Or was that a master control? I'll have to wait and see...

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 2.1: The First Reflection: Fear[/glow]
It’s dark… so very dark. Where am I? Why am I here? What was that? This feeling… it’s not funny but I feel compelled to laugh… everyone should laugh with me!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Dear Journal Day… I’ve lost count. The scythe is talking again. Why is it talking again? I’m taking the pills like I should. Another voice has joined it. It’s getting closer and I’m compelled. Compelled to…”
“Zeno! Dinner!”
“Alright Mye! I’m coming!”
Zeno got up from his bed and made for the exit. He was quickly out the door.
In one corner of the room rested the scythe at the opposite end a black spot appeared growing to about 3 feet tall then it closed just like that. There were no other changes. Then the scythe started to vibrate.
Fwoosh! The scythe flew across the room and flying in circles randomly darting at walls. The door to the room opened and closed quickly the scythe plunged into the door and stilled.

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 2.2[/glow]
“Why do you torment me with lies scythe?!”
Zeno was in his room shouting at the now chained to the wall scythe. There was a rather large hole in the door where the scythe had been extracted.
-Awww… has the little demon a heart? Will you laugh with me?-
“I’m not talking to you!”
-Do you fear me? Is it because I’m in your head? Shall I join your world and let you see me? Will you laugh with me?-
“Silence!”
-You do not wish to laugh with me. Then I shall laugh at you. Fear me. Hate me. Laugh with me. Will you laugh with me?-
“Why do you torment…”
Blood everywhere, Humans hanging by their own entrails, Mye’s skull crushed, Tony with a large iron spike piercing his skull. All this and more appeared. The hole in the door began to leak with more blood still. Slowly the room filled up with blood and bones and skulls floated along the red currents.
-Will you laugh with me?-
All the corpses began to laugh.
-They laugh with me. Join us in laughter. Will you laugh with me?-
Zeno couldn’t help himself as he laughed compulsively.
“Laugh with us!”
-Laugh with us! Will you laugh with me?-
The scythe began to hum dully.

[glow=blue,2,300]Intermission 2:[/glow]
Wait, wait, what’s this? Intermission 2? Where’s intermission 1? It’s in irrelevant changes land of I decided that it was an inept idea. Why did I? Well there was another I was talking to about it and well. It’s just for the best trust me. And no I’m not telling and I don’t care if it’s not fair. Oh I didn’t say what I’m not telling… whom I talked to and what about of course.
-Will you laugh with me?-
Oh be quiet you we’re getting to that. But before we do. Intermissions are points in which I will reveal a few secrets of the story one or two tops. And as to what fore before will be the secret. People don’t always think about it but when you create a character it is your baby. You nurture it and make it grow. Or kill it off in some alley gutter… and if you take that line seriously please don’t it’s not meant to be offensive or funny it’s fact. But when a fanfic artist changes something they are without thinking often corrupt these children. It is thus that they must tread carefully. It is true that many of us wish for certain relationships to occur in stories that haven’t a chance or aren’t set for the conditions of the without a writers convenience but sometimes a change must not be used for it destroys the structure of the story. For those who do not know writers conveniences are things like Tabby in Olaf der Avatar Demon or that fellow in the comic proper that told Mye of what was going on in the bathroom thus inspiring her to enter the bathroom to check on Tony. By now you’re all thinking about how the heck my mind functions that I can say this and yet put up that crazy chapter a second ago but heck, that’s just me at each end of the extreme at extreme times. And for the one I talked to. I know you’re watching this. Thank you for helping me realize the above stated myself. It is something everyone could learn to be applicable to all walks of existence.
-This is boring. Will you laugh with me?-
Now for the spoiler… the voices name is Fear.
-Boring. Will you laugh with me?-
Until next time, tschüs.

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 2.3:[/glow]
-We are one. One we are. Our existence is within ourselves as ourselves. The meaning of our life is to give our lives meaning. Go too fast. Move too slow. Blood is oozing down the walls. The walls are oozing up the blood. Death is all around us. Within us all is death. The mission is to stand and be immortal. We have the right to be ourselves again. Error. Continuity error. Will you laugh with us? Will you laugh with us? Will you laugh with us? Us… us is irrelevant it is all me… Will you laugh with me?-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Ahhhhhhh!!!” Zeno burst up from his covers. He had seen things… things that were gruesome. These things are indescribable. So much is the horror they instill. They are one but they are separate. They are simply a new way to be.
-You aren’t laughing. Will you laugh with me?-
“Shut up voice. What were those things?”
-That is a contradiction Zeno. To be silent it is impossible to say those things that are in your questions. This conversation is devoid of laughter. I don’t like it. Will you laugh with me? –
“You’re deliberately unhelpful voice.”
-I am only as helpful as you are to yourself. You fear yourself don’t you? Don’t you fear me? Everyone leaves those who don’t know fear and keep it close. Keep me close and know me. Understand me. Will you laugh with me?-
“If I laugh with you will you help me understand?”
“If you laugh with me I will laugh with you. Numbers are power and power is in numbers. Will you laugh with me?”
“Fine.” Zeno started to laugh. At first he was reluctant but he soon laughed with full abandon. All creatures in and out of the house heard and were afraid.

That laughter is not a good thing... fear me, for I state the obvious when I have nothing more intelligent to remark about >_>
Not going to post this anymore for fear of supreme redundancy, but I look forward to the next piece

redundancy is a silly word. i prefer to think that it's a motivational speach. just a veryveryveryveryveryveryvery short one.
i lack understanding of the obvious that you are statings a wells

That is one way to look at it I suppose.
I thought it obvious that the laughter was a bad thing, and if I'm wrong I'm going to feel like an idiot xD
