SINISTER HE IS...

A strong gust of wind enticed the smell around town, and inwardly the villagers groaned while they covered their faces. He was coming.

When the wind settled down, they could see him stalking toward the town from the nearby hills. His stench was wrapped close around him like a dark poison cloud, and through it, the mahar peered closely out at the town below. He was looking for stones that would shine brightly when struck by the sun; he chuckled to himself at the stupidity of the humans for leaving such precious things lying about.

"Glory!" His friend called out in a deep, heady voice, and Glorious jerked his head up. "Yah, let's go!"

They headed towards civilization as each took broad leaps and long dashes toward the town. Glorious's golden scales shimmered brilliantly in the daylight. His entire body was decorated with radiant spots; his own body reminding him of the thing he loved the most: gems.

The screams of the citizens in the town rang pleasantly in his ears. "Yaha!" he laughed loudly, his own voice bellowing and dark. "I do hate people!" His friend joined in on the laughter, and their voices rang across the sky like thunder.

Glorious halted his run in a garden of smiling bell-flowers. His large tail swept in a broad arc and wiped out the hated things. "Ugh," he covered his nostrils with his claw. "Humans are so disgusting. They're really..."

As Glorious finished his sentence, a leaf blower went off nearby, from a neighbor cleaning up his yard in order to make it neat and tidy. Glorious turned his head sharply. Who could dare to be outside when they were here?! The insult of it!

With a single leap, he landed in the yard of the unfortunate noise maker. His claws scratched at the earth, ruining the human's efforts. His friend cackled in a tree nearby, his claws ripping at the bark as the tree bent slightly over, as even its best effort could not allow the tree to hold its heavy burden.

Reaching out with his claw, Glorious gripped the teenager and lifted him off the ground. As he did, the music player fell away from the young man, and Glorious crushed it with a flick of his tail. Hated noise makers.

"YOU!" he bellowed, his bad breath causing the young man to lean over his claws and vomit, for Glorious did not brush his teeth any more frequently than he bathed. "Who do you think you are, you..."

The noise of the sliding glass door blocked out what he said, and an elderly woman hobbled down the steps, leaning on a broom for support. When she reached the concrete deck, she wielded the broom like a weapon and thwacked Glorious sharply on the tail. Glorious dropped the teenager and whipped around, causing a large gust of wind to blow through the area, but the elderly woman stood her ground.

"Young man!" she started, waggling an accusing finger. "Look at what you've done to my yard!" Her grandson yowled in pain, having landed awkwardly when he was dropped, which broke his ankle. She ignored him, as she continued to berate Glorious.

Glorious looked sideways at his friend, baffled by the woman's reaction. His friend, equally surprised, gave an indifferent shrug, his hulking shoulders causing the tree to sway and shake.

He turned back to the woman in enough time to hear the end of her tirade. "Now, after you've apologized and cleaned up the yard, then I will make you a nice ice cream sundae for your work. Your friend," she gestured broadly to the sun mahar in the tree," obviously needs to help too, considering the poor treatment he's giving my oak!"

"WHAAAAAAT?!" Glorious howled. Cleaning? Apologizing?! ICE CREAM?! Before he could even start in on his best slew of curses that he had learned over the years, the grandmother smacked him on the nose.

"Now you stop that bellowing. You're bothering the neighbors," she sniffed. "Besides, what are you going to do? Set me on fire? I'm old, and my meat is tough. You wouldn't want to eat me."

Glorious took a step back and coughed. "I, uh, can't, uh, breathe fire. Coughcoughhackwheeze. I never, ahem, got an education on how to." He looked sideways. This woman was really interfering with his plans to terrorize the town, steal a few gems, and then leave in a wonderful dash of victory.

"Aw, poor thing," she said in a voice that was soft and understanding. She patted his left claw and he looked down at her.

He jerked away from her and howled, "I AM GLORIOUS WONDER. CONQUEROR OF ALL HUMANS. FEARING OF NO ONE. I DO NOT GET PATTED!"

With the end of his short, self-righteous speech, he left the area. His friend followed hesitantly on the street behind him, equally anxious and unsure. "Yarh, this just not be a good area. They've seen too many mahars lately. Tomorrow, we try in Centropolis. Far away from Riverside."

Glorious sniffed in acknowledgement and scowled in annoyance. "Yah, till tomorrow."

They walked off in different ways, Glorious heading home to a cave that was situated between Veta and Peka. In a short time, he found his way to his cave's hidden entrance, his claws scraping at the hard stone floors. Winding his way through his cave's tunnels, he reached an end where the floor fell out.

He leapt into the air and dove deep down into the many gems that were waiting below. Bathing comfortably in his gems, he reached out and clutched his favorite large blue stone close to his chest. Just his eyes peered out into the darkness. They were dark and angry as his brain ran through simple, but sinister and violent schemes for payback on the humans.

How unfortunate it would be for Centropolis to be visited by the one named Glorious Wonder!
