Strange
Norn
by Hawkeye the Writer
Coral
and her long lost daughter Gactmacha were making carrot stew in
the Grendel Tree when a small baby norn came up the lift.
" Kathy food" said the helpless female.
Coral smiled at the baby and gave it a carrot. The baby devoured
the carrot viciously. Then the little norn
started to dance. Suddenly, all the carrots Gactmacha had collected
started to float and do circles in the air.
" Ahhhh! Help!" screamed Gactmacha.
Bobo the Hand floated into sight and said, " Kathy no."
Kathy flinched and all the carrots dropped back to where
they came from.
" Sorry females." Bobo sighed, "Kathy
ran away while I was distracted and it seems she came here."
" How did she do that?" stammered
Coral.
" Oh, yes, umm, well Kathy is a Kathy
norn." The Hand said.
" A what?" said Gactmacha.
" A witch norn in other words." Bobo
explained. " She can talk to eggs and tell us what the baby
will be and she can make things float which you just experienced
Gacty."
" Cool!! So when I lay my egg she can
talk to the child." Gactmacha said with her furry hand on
her belly.
" Well, when she's a teenager she will
be able to." Bobo sighed, " That's one of my few flaws."
" Who's her parents?" Coral asked.
" Ummmm, well, her parents are Unknown."
" Huh?" the two norns said in unison.
" Well do you remember me talking about
a Genetics Kit? Good, you do, well I created Kathy, I made her
egg and I hatched it."
" WHAT! That's not possible!" screamed
Coral.
" It's hard to explain. Coral remember
when you laid that egg on the Desert Isle. Well, you never mated.
I took some of Pooh's genes, yes Rainbowsa's second mate, and
I combined them with yours to make Gactmacha.
You were asleep when I imported the egg and it landed near you.
I led you away on purpose to let the Grendel get your daughter.
And Gacty," the norn looked away from her mother who was
now sobbing, " your son, Big Gact, never would have been
born if I hadn't helped create him."
Bobo sighed because now both the norns were
crying; " Just because I helped with the developing process
doesn't mean they aren't your children.
Now, my last question, how do we take care of Kathy?"
" I can take care of myself" said
a small voice.
" Who said that?" Gactmacha exclaimed.
" I did" said Kathy.
" But, but you're not supposed to talk
until you're a teenager!" Bobo stuttered.
" That's one of your few flaws."
Kathy said mimicking Bobo's sigh perfectly, " Not everything
turns out the way you want it. Oh, by the way
Gacty, you're about to give birth so I suggest you eat a carrot
or two to ease the pain."
" She's right Gactmacha," Bobo said,
"you're about to give birth!"
Ten minutes later.
" You're son says he will try to break
open the egg again." Kathy watched as the egg cracked open
and the little baby boy opened its eyes for the first time.
