2050 A SPACE MYTH

"I'm sorry Hank but you really do have prostate cancer." The doctor solemnly said.
"Me...me...me never think this could actually happen.' Hank the space-troll stuttered. He slowly turned and left the doctor's office. Hank pushed open the double doors and shambled out onto the space hospital's doorstep. He stared into the starry expanse before him, but only one thing came to mind. He should have listened. He remembered.

Hank was happily skipping through the field when suddenly, a giant shadow blotted out the sun. He turned and saw a truly terrifying beast. It had the demented form of a giant grub; puss leaked from every pore on its body. Its mouth opened to reveal rows and rows of razor sharp fangs. Something that looked like pudding oozed between its fangs. Leather bat wings the size of a ship's sails pumped to keep the creature aloft.
"WHAT ARE YOU!?!?" Hank screamed.
"I AM GORLAGG," the creature bellowed, "THE SPACE WORM GOD, AND YOU SHALL DO AS I COMMAND!"
Hank began to whimper, "What do you want from me?"
"YOU MUST RETRIVE MY SACRED GOLDEN PLATYPUS FROM THE SPACE TEMPLE." Gorlagg rumbled. "I RULED THE UNIVERSE WITH THAT ARTIFACT, BUT THE OTHER GODS OVERTHREW ME AND LOCKED IT AWAY IN THAT TEMPLE, I AM THE LAST GOD LEFT. I WAS CURSED NEVER TO ENTER IT AND I NEED A MORTAL TO RETRIVE MY ARTIFACT SO I CAN RULE AGAIN! YOU SHALL BRING ME THE PLATYPUS!"
After hearing this, Hank denounced all evil and yelled, "Hank never help evil monster!" Gorlagg roared in fury, tiny globs of pudding flying everywhere.
"THEN YOUR PROSTATE WILL WITHER UNDER CANCER AND YOU SHALL DIE!!!"

Hank stood there, remembering at what had happened. "NOOOOOO!!!" he yelled in desperation. Suddenly out of the black abyss of space rose Gorlagg, and he was laughing manically.
"SO PUNY MORTAL, WILL YOU DO AS I COMMAND NOW?"
"Yes..." Hank sighed, "me guess me have to."
"GOOD THEN CLIMB ONTO MY BACK AND I SHALL TAKE YOU AS CLOSE TO THE TEMPLE AS I CAN GET." Rumbled Gorlagg; it was obvious he was pleased. Hank eyed the mountain of Gorlagg's back disgustedly, but he managed to climb aboard. The mighty worm god's wings started beating faster and harder and they shot off into space.
They flew through the blackness for what seemed to be days, but eventually they began to see the bulk of the space temple. Gorlagg crashed down into the field encircling the temple.
"THIS IS AS FAR AS I CAN TAKE YOU," he rumbled, "NOW GO, AND RETRIVE MY ARTIFACT!" Hank jumped off Gorlagg's back and turned to face the temple. It soared hundreds of feet into the air, and was built out of solid gold. It had many layers like an Aztec temple; there were stairs that led to the top, and he could see a shining light radiating from the top. Hank could even hear the massive jets that held it suspended in space. He began to run toward the temple as fast as he could, but when he got closer he saw a figure at the steps. The figured stood up and yelled, "Halt!"
"What is you?" Hank questioned.
"I am the temple's high priest." said the figure. "And my name is Larrondo." Larrondo stepped a little closer and Hank could see what he really was. He was wearing flowing purple robes, had long shriveled arms, but mostly it was the fact that his head was a giant eyeball.
"How do you eat?" said Hank.
"I'm maaagic!" said Larrondo.
"Well how do you tal-"
"I said I'm magic!" Larrondo interrupted. "I know why you're here though. You want the platypus, don't you?"
"Yes" Hank replied.
"Well you'll have to pass my test." Said Larrondo "All you have to do is eat this sandwich, while on a pogo stick, hopping through a minefield, while I throw rocks at you. Easy enough, right?" Hank just stood there with a terrified look on his simple face. He took the sandwich Larrondo handed him, mounted the pogo stick, and began to hop.
"Just hop toward those little lumps." Larrondo said. Hank hopped forward, and suddenly a rock sailed over his head. There was a thump, and then an enormous bang. The ground was exploding all around Hank, and he did the only thing that came to mind; he crammed the sandwich in his mouth, and swallowed it whole.
"Very good!" Larrondo said after the smoke cleared. "You really didn't have to do that, but I get bored up here. So just climb to the top and get your platypus then." Hank was extremely angry, but he had to get the platypus first.
After a long, hard climb Hank finally saw the platypus. It was small, but like the temple it was made of solid gold; holiness radiated from it. Hank picked it up. Suddenly he was aware, he was intelligent. He could speak correctly, and most of all his cancer was gone. He now knew what he had to do, he had to stop Gorlagg.
When he got back to the temple's base Larrondo was still there.
"I need your help to stop the evil worm god Larrondo. You are magic right?"
"Meh, I've got nothing better to do." replied Larrondo. So, they ran as fast as they could to where Gorlagg waited. When he heard them he turned his massive head in their direction.
"WELL THEN, GIVE ME MY PLATYPUS NOW!" bellowed Gorlagg.
"No we're here to stop you." replied the newly educated Hank.
"THEN I SHALL DESTROY YOU AND TAKE IT THEN!!!" roared Gorlagg. He flew into the air then came charging down at them. Hank tossed Larrondo the platypus, who began a strange chant while hunched over it. Gorlagg swooped down and Hank barely missed being crushed. He flew high into the air, roared again, and began to breathe fire. Soon most of the field was in flames. Gorlagg swooped directly down a t Hank again.
"Hank, catch!" Larrondo yelled, and threw the platypus which now had a blue glow around it. Hank caught the platypus and threw it into Gorlagg's mouth. Gorlagg just continued to charge at Hank, but his skin started rippling. Gorlagg began to howl in rage as he realized what was happening. Then he exploded. Gobs of spongy meat and green slime rained down on the heroes.
"What are we supposed to do now?" Larrondo asked.
"Well I haven't eaten in three days..." Hank said while eyeing a big chunk of meat.
"Hmmmm....yeah why let something like that go to waste..." replied Larrondo.

And Gorlagg was never seen again...
