The Black Hole

from The Looma (part 4​/​5) by One Be Lo

/

lyrics

What is the black hole?

A taker of souls?

Space debris all moving towards the same goal?

At a certain distance, the ship boss is no longer using its own equipment to lift off. Everything including time seems to slow down as they drift along. The outside temperature is extremely cold but the Phoenix flames remain boldly gold until lo and behold, the darkness puts everything on hold. Nothing exists, except the bubble of light that encompasses
the Phoenix and ship.

For a few minutes, the light that radiates from Motu slips
into the abyss.

During this time, the outside temperature shifts while inside the technology struggles to resist.

Once the Bird is fully emerged in the event horizons curve,
the passengers begin to briefly brrr.
Unaware of what's next to occur,
they brace for the worst.



Behind, the lights from the Universe seem to reverse.
Ahead, the dark blurs from adjective into verb. USED TO BE FLY

Ee'ti and Wunda came too far to be afraid. The ship flew straight behind Motu who obeyed the blueprint laid. Flying ahead of the ship provides a bubble like field of heat waves that lit the immediate space but not more than 50 meters away. Hopefully the distraction would capture the dragon like feeding it bait.

Ee’ti remembers lesson number one. She calls the dragon by it's secret name,

“Margonos!” But not a sound came.

She tried,

“Emic G’sota!” But the results were the same.

It's almost as if the beast awaited to greet them with grace, close enough for the Phoenix flames to paint beams on its face. Wunda's heart beat speeded into a race as he saw how it's huge wings hung in place.

Not even a chase.

What the Dragon hunters don't expect to checklist is a monstrous body with two fire breathing faces teeming with rage.
