>>12210207Your final step to happiness is just beyond the graveyard's hill, and once you climb it, you feel at the top of your game.
But after glorifying yourself as the king of the world, you notice something on the other side of the graveyard that catches your attention.
It's a river. Just like the one in mom's postcards.
And nearby the river? A Marowak. A female Marowak.
"What..? C-Could..Could it be?"
You're speechless. Absolutely taken by both shock and surprise. Rigel notices your imminent happiness, and leans on the tree atop the hill, just waiting for his reward for ferrying you all the way over here.
"HOLY CRAP YEEEEEES!" happy as fuck, you run down the hill to greet your mother while Rigel looks on. Not once during your descent do you stop, never again, you've been separated from her for five years, and god dammit, you can't wait for another second. After all this time, you're finally going to see her again!
You cheer like a motherfucker, and at the first chance you get, you tackle your mom.
*CLANG!*Your skull splits into as you collide against mom, you fall into the grass, skidding for a few feet. Getting up, you rub your head in agony, for whatever reason, instead of feeling skin, you felt stone..
"My...my skull! MY SKULL!" hovering a hand over your head, you realize your skull has been shattered into two. You immediately look at mom in order to find out what's wrong.
And it becomes clear instantly.
It's not mom. It's a statue OF mom.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iITPvwDLGuM"What in the...m-mom?"
Taken away for a second time by shock, you make you way over to the stone statue, where you discover an inscription.
>MARILYN>EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR.Confused, you approach the nearest person available, which happens to be a Smeargle drawing a nearby crypt, "Excuse me, excuse me sir! Please! Spare a minute!?"
He nods, "Fire."
"That...that woman there, that woman the statue depicts, who...who is she!?"
