The Mehliad

Chapter 13
Continuing the tale of young Dan Fogelberg (no not that one), who fell asleep in a storm and woke in a fantastical, creepy land. Beyond that, your guess is as good as ours. (Catch up here.)

We sailed for three weeks, completely lost at…not sea, exactly, since we were in an airship, but we were above an ocean so yeah, at sea. I guess. Geoff had long ago lost his freewheeling good humor and had become a sullen lump, rarely leaving his bunk and grousing whenever he did. Norton obsessively hunted for the “threats” he swore were present on the ship, and Goggles ceaselessly scanned the horizon for any sign of land.

Aoelh would periodically bring me glimmering discs of plastic and place them into my hand.

“Welcome,” Aoelh would say, then, “Goodbye,” as he turned and left.

What a weird fucking dude.

I had all but given up hope and was getting high in my bunk when suddenly our ship jolted with an impact. Land! Or rather, a tower! We’d finally found something! We all scrambled to the deck of the ship, giddy with anticipation at what awaited us. We saw a small man with embarrassingly outdated facial hair staring at us from a loading bay. Laborers busily tied up our ship and extended a plank to help us exit.

“Uh, ahoy!” I beckoned. The curly-haired man with the goatee stared back mutely. He was an odd fellow, made odder by the fact that he was obviously trying to be odd. Like, okay dude I get it. After a few seconds of awkward eye contact I made my way down the plank and towards him.

“Stop!” he barked suddenly, freezing us all in our tracks, “You are about to enter the nation of Sa.”

“Okay,” I responded, “We come in peace.”

“I don’t give a shit how you come,” he sneered, “But you gotta pay $9.95 before we let you in.”
