The Dark Crystal Page #3

Oh, no. Right in the mud.

Fizzgig.

You Gelfling, like me?

Well, yes.

But I thought I was the only one.

I thought I was.

Here. I'll help you out.

-The first thing I remember is fire.

-Where did it start?

It's a war, I think.

A tree. My mother

puts me right inside, and we--

Mother! Mother, the monster!

First thing I remember

is the kind one.

He picks me up. He makes the

monsters disappear, and I'd be safe.

I am safe.

What's happening?

We're dream-fasting,

sharing our memories.

I'm having a bath.

When I was little,

I used to get fed by my new mom.

-She called me Kira.

-...and then bigger.

And master showed me

the whole valley stretching out.

I thought it went on forever.

Kira, watch out!

The Garthim!

They capture the Podlings.

-Then I am happy.

-It makes me cry.

My master is family,

teacher and friend.

And I can nearly forget

everything that happened.

And talk with flowers

and the living things.

He shows me numbers

and things called words.

Everywhere I go,

I learn the shapes of kindness.

I learn from them all,

except there's no one here like me.

I need to find--

I love them all,

except I need to find--

-Wait.

-I want--

-It's going away.

-It's going away.

Oh, no. I'm sinking.

-Don't move.

-Don't move? Where would I go?

-What is that?

-Just a Nebrie.

She won't hurt you.

Kira.

Your name is Kira.

We were dream-fasted, you and I.

Fizzgig.

Come on.

Fizzgig!

-You seem very strange to him.

-He seems pretty strange to me.

He's nervous.

Here, Skeksis are watching always.

We must go.

Come.

-Roast Nebrie, my favorite.

-Roast Nebrie. I want the rare piece.

Slaves.

You slime face!

Rotten!

Slaves!

Eat!

It seems to me that Gelfling...

...has escaped, huh?

No Gelfling ever escaped

from my deadly Garthim.

More food. More food!

Something stuck in my teeth.

Enchanting meal.

Dessert! Crawlies!

Dessert!

-Stop it!

-Crawlie!

Not bad at all.

Look. The Garthim return.

The Gelfling.

Release the Gelfling.

-What's this?

-Fools! Skeksis fools!

What do you want with me?

This is no Gelfling!

Of course I'm no Gelfling,

you putrid lizards!

I'll get my eye to you.

She was with him.

She helped him. Where is he?

Gone! Gelfling gone.

Stupid Garthim.

You want Gelfling, why not ask me?

Easier to send your crab-brained

soldiers, burn my home!

Now home gone, Gelfling gone.

Nothing but Aughra!

Mouldy mildew mother of mouthmuck!

Dangle and strangle to death!

Oh, how crude!

Watch your tongue, harridan.

We are lords of the Crystal.

Lords? Not for long.

What about the prophecy...

...that a Gelfling

will end Skeksis power?

He'll come, make you crawl,

like the worms you are.

Find that Gelfling now!
