Abe has another nightmare. It's always the same thing. He finds himself chained, facing Molluck the Glukkon. Abe begs him not to kill him and then he wakes up. However, this nightmare has a difference. Abe hears Molluck's voice calling him "Master Abe", which is very strange. When Abe opens his eyes, a hand gags him, preventing him from screaming. Molluck's face, very real, looks at him, but something is wrong.
"Master Abe," he said, "please, no scream."
One, Molluck just called him "Master". Two, his voice isn't his usual one. It's still deep and commanding, sure, but Molluck pronounces words slowly, he seems to have trouble with certain sounds, and his speech sounds broken. Three, since when has he had one working hand and one arm? Two even?
"Master Abe, you don't yell, me let go mouth."
Abe nods. He can't do anything else, and he’s terrified. Molluck releases Abe’s mouth and his eyes look at the ground. His eyes? They are untouched and his face has no trace of burns or wounds. Abe wonders how this could be possible. After all, Molluck was struck by lightning. Abe slowly gets up and realizes that Molluck is as tall as he is. This isn't right. He should be much taller. Also the Glukkon's body is perfectly proportioned. His arms and legs are perfectly functional. So, is this Molluck not the Molluck he knows? Abe has to know for sure.
"Uh… Mo…Mol…Molluck? Boss Molluck?"
The Glukkon's eyes lock onto his. Abe swallows.
"No, not boss. Me, Molluck from Other Side."
"Other Side?"
"Yeah. Other Side. Everything reversed. Mudokons are masters, Glukkons are slaves."
"How?"
So, the reason why this Molluck calls him Master is...
"Master Abe. Must return to Other Side. Help please."
Help him? And how? Suddenly, Abe hears a Mudokon calling him. Molluck, well, The Other Molluck gets scared and runs away. Abe is left alone, confused, and a question runs through his head. Should he help him or not?
Author's note: A fiction inspired by a dream ^.^. In the dream, Other Molluck was controllable in a video game similar to Oddworld. He could move from one world to another using strange liquid surfaces that only he could perceive using a Chant. Yes, like Abe, he can sing but his melodies are more like vocalizations/notes, like Naija in Aquaria.
