Jack's quest and the Sacred Oil.
On Nov 19, 12:05*pm, rafflescat wrote:
The mists of time roil over the glen where Jack has to find McCat and seek the sacred anointing oil. Since the beginning of all time, McCats have served the Great One, the supreme being, the most wise one. McCat is descended from the great whiskered ones. All warriors, and protectors of the silver truth of Bast. The guardians of the portal and the sacred oil. The Great One is only seen in times of great joy or great sorrow and only then if the correct offering is placed on the Muckle Rock. The Great One sees all, hears all and knows all.He is the one who will give the sacred oil to Jack, if Jack can earn his respect. Only in attempting the great feat will this sacred oil be given freely and be used to bless Jack's perfect union with Trudi. The pass into the glen is narrow and rocks crash down the steep sides. Water runs there too,cold, frothy and impatient to reach the ground. Jack's little knees tremble as he steps forward, he hears the skirl of pipes and now and then, figures seems to form out of the mists, but when he turns to look, no-one is there . He wraps his plaid around his shoulders and pins it in place. He is glad of his walking stick and the stout boots he's wearing. The ground is uneven and sparkles with ice. Up ahead, Jack sees the Muckle Rock, a massive rock formation that broods over the glen.Mist swirls around it and small creatures scurry here and there. Jack climbs the incline and soon reaches the flat stone that is perched on the top of the rock. He stops for breath and looks around himself."What do I do now?" he wonders and sits down. He takes his hip flask out and drinks deeply from it. The aromatic smell of good Scots whiskynip rises from the flask and suddenly, a frightening voice booms out. "Who goes there?" Jacks heart quails, he is terrified, he should be at home in his little bed dreaming of burdees and mousies. Instead, he is sitting here in the rain and wind trying to gain some sacred oil from a terrifying unseen creature who sounds furious. Jack is brave, he thinks of his beloved Trudi and stands up.With a voice of courage he says "It's me, Jack of the Howse of Gordon. I seek the sacred oil." Suddenly, a coldness slides up Jack's spine. He turns to the left and is confronted by a fearsome sight. A towering figure, fur bristling and thick with a tinge of ginger, green flashing eyes, unbelievably long, sharp teeth and claws and wearing only a kilt with sporran and a plaid wrapped loosely around a barrel chest, slowly unfolds itself from a niche in the rock. "What do you want in the glen of the Great One?" *Jack is aghast. This must be McCat. *How will he get the sacred oil from this monster? Needing time to think, Jack takes another drink of the golden whiskynip. "What's that you drink?" bellows the monster. Jack looks at him. "It's my whiskynip, would you like some?" He holds out the flask. The creature grabs the flask, and gulps it all down. He smacks his lips and drains it all. Jack looks on and laughs to himself, obviously McCat doesn't know how strong his whiskynip is. Very soon, McCat begins to nod off to sleep, he burps and sighs as he slides to the ground and very soon, he is snoring. Jack is relieved, he didn't know what to say to the monster, but he soon realises that he hasn't found out about the sacred oil, and after all, that's what he came for....what is he going to do now? The rain whips his face with renewed vigour and the mist clings to his clothes. He doesn't know what to do now. The sacred oil would have given him and Trudi a long life blessed with good health. Now what? He reaches out and touches the Muckle Rock. He is distraught.......he's old and weak and tired but he doesn't want to return empty handed, a tear slides down his cheek onto his whisker and then onto the Rock. Suddenly, the rain abates and the mist clears. A weak sun shines on the Rock. Jack is relieved to feel the warmth of the sun and he wipes another tear away. *He must persevere, he must obtain the sacred oil, he must for his Trudi who trusts him so much. He starts to talk to Bast and tell her about his lovely sweetheart and as he thinks of her he smiles. She would look so beautiful anointed with the sacred oil. He knows however that he has reached the end of his strength and endurance and all he can do now is return home...he has failed in his quest.His head is lowered, he is ashamed. As he turns to go, a beam of sunlight falls on his face and transfixes him. A gentle voice insinuates itself into his head and as he listens, *it tells him how pleased it is with his fortitude and valour. The sunbeam warms Jack and he slips down into a warm sleep. =^-^= A little black and white cat awakes. The sun shines on him and warms his fur. He feels rested and as he rises from the heather, he stretches and arches his back. It feels good. Beside him, nestled on the heather, lies a tiny bottle with a jewelled stopper. Jack reaches for it. He gently removes the stopper and as he does, a little vapour escapes and touches his face. The aroma from the vapour is divine. Jack quickly stoppers the bottle. How can this be? He failed in his quest. Failed. What is in this bottle? A familiar figure detaches itself from the rock beside Jack. McCat stands there holding his head." Aye wee one! You put me out of business last nicht awricht - that disny happen ower muckle!" " Sorry" smiles Jack, "but you did it to yourself McCat." " Aye weil, we wull say nae mair aboot it then. Bast wus smilin on ye last nicht Jack, she wus so impressed with yer courage that she has granted ye the sacred oil. Ye must use it wisely. Not to be used until ye and yer wee lassie need it, and then only fur yersell and the lassie! Remember!" *The rocks seem to slide before Jack's eyes and McCat disappears. As Jack left the glen behind, he stepped out with a speed that amazed him, he felt invigorated and well. The porter stood where he had left it. He jumped in and Harry hugged him. " I'm that glad to see you Jack! I thought Bast had kept you!" They stepped out of the porter and Jack looked around happily...." Oh Harry, it's good to be home. Think I'll have a little nap now." Harry smiled too, things were back to normal. Wuz dat Bwiggaddoon ware he bisicked? Meowy, dazzled by Jacks benshur. |
