Author: Victor von Risper
Subject: Borg and von Risper


The music played and played and Risper swayed and swayed, ignoring the
handsome devil beside him holding the bundle of joy. Von Risper's smile
ignited the green glowing air around him in his sensuous ecstasy. From
minor to major beyond any human scale the notes filled the hall and
surly the walls would fall or at least expand and he SLAMMED the key
guard down and turned to face pale Borg.

"I sent for you...29 days ago." He said pleasantly enough, his smile
more than any face could possibly hold. "What is this?" He stood and
as summer wind on a flower he stroke the infant chin. "Ain't he
preeeeshise" He beamed in kindergarten delight. He patted his belly
and sighed as he paced off four steps away. "Ahh...but I've had my fill
of pullet this day."

"I bring a pure soul for thee master." Borg's human face was porcelain
white.

"A pure soul...a PURE soul...a pure SOUL...see, Borg, how no matter what
you emphasize it still comes out...a pure soul." Risper's eyes flared
red and plaster fell from the ceiling. "YOU BRING ME HALF A LIZARD
SOUL!" He mellowed and crossed quickly to the child and spoke in the
softest voice." Did I frighten you?" The child's cry stopped
immediately. "I am sorry. I meant to frighten him." He placed his
hand on Borg's cheek. "Are you frightened?"

"Yes."
"YES?"
"No... I"
"NO I?" He sighed and silenced the child again with a gentle touch.
"Know you little. I have no need of this lizard-human thing...not for a
decade. I need THEE pure soul and heart of THEE gifted child
Shane...but, you know what? I can not get it. Do you know why?
Because...you have to admire her ambition...Keecadoran has bested
me...me! In check. I do so find this pupil amusing. She has given me
laughter, tears of laughter and she is good. My sulfurous ass, she is
fantastic. Do you see this?" He held up his left hand not waiting for
an answer. "This is where I want Keecadoran. At my left hand. And do
you see this?" He held up his right hand. "This is yours." He rapped
his right arm around Borg and dangled the limp right hand, fingers all
jeweled in front of Borg's face and amused the baby who cooed with
delight at the sparkling gems of green and red and diamond bright. "All
you desire, power beyond even my own imagination shall be yours for one
final test. You have done well and I overlook this...reptilian thing
and the killing of a rather delicious dragon thing that I was watching
closely with so much pleasure and joy. I overlook you recklessly
burning trees as you pass by or frightening little bitty babies." He
tickled the child and the child laughed." You are young yet. When you
are my age...this no longer shall be fun."

"A test master?"

"Patience, patience, I am rather enjoying myself here. Ahh but, time is
short. Time...Time is all I truly have. But not this Time. This time
I want to be the greatest pianist and play the great concerts in the
world. I need this child who has the gift from...that other Guy..." He
thumbed toward the ceiling. "To take this gift of His and use it for
one earthly human lifetime as Victor von Risper...amuses me SOOO much.
And it gives me the opportunity to pass you or fail you for my right
hand Lord."

Von Risper tapped his bald head. I want you to fall in love as a
human." He waited with face full of mirth and delight for a reaction
from Borg but all he got was a dumb look. "I want you to win the heart
and soul of Ezella, without trickery or spells. Her love for you must
be real and all consuming. She must love you more than anything in this
world or the next. She must love you more than her own child." He
kissed the dragon-human child's forehead.

"Keecadoran has forgotten one thing. A mother's love. The only force
on earth that can reach into that blue mist of hers...that mystifies me.
I cannot imagine how she found the spell or how she keeps it from
me...no matter, Kee did out con me. Ezella shall bring the child to me
because...if you are the man and the lover I know you are she will do
whatever you ask. When she gives me the child. You will...well...let
us wait and see. Now go return this child to the queen or her
nursemaid. Use it to be a hero. Your human form who saved this
precious cherub from that evil Borg thing...it should win you a place at
court...but remember. No more demon crapulence or...or I shall not be
amused." He play punched Borg in the arm and waved him away...now run
along." He waited until Borg was at the door. "If you must...kill
Nikoli...but fairly...you are in the hero business as a mortal so you
can enter that wretched holy building and...do not reach into the blue
mist." He shuttered. "Wretched things will happen if you do. Now
go." The music thundered and graced through the halls of the building
and throughout the streets of Canaday.
