Walking along the beach at nights was my hobby. I have done this from a young age. It helps to calm my mind and think. I like to view the stars in the night sky in the beach with the lull of waves. I could stay like that for hours and never get bored. When I was a child my parents told me if you make a wish while seeing a shooting star on the sky that wish will come true. Since then I would come on the beach at night and look for a shooting star and make the wish.
As I grew old I understood that it was a silly tale my parents said to entertain me. But right now those same parents are dead. My job kept me a great distance away from them and now I lost both of them in a car accident. A drunk driver crashed the car into the side walk and my parents lost their lives.
I saw a shooting star in the night sky. I made a wish. I didn't want to stay in a world where my parents were absent. So I made a wished for god to take me away from the world. But of course there is no god. If there was our world would not be full of shit. There was no higher power and we were alone in this small blue dot in the Universe.
Suddenly a bright light came in front of me and my god, am I seeing this right. I rubbed my eyes and looked again and sure enough I saw a silver coloured bat. What the fuck did I drink this night?
"You are not Hallucinating son. I am real" It said
"Oh god, a talking bat. I am mad" I cried
It bonked my head and flew around me and then set itself down on the beach.
"I told you I'm real son. I am what you would call an ASB." It said
"This is impossible. I thought it was hocus-pocus created by fanfiction nut jobs with their insane ideas and imaginations." I blinked several times just to make sure this was real
"Every story must have some truth in it son. I am the truth of many stories." It said puffing up its chest which was funny and weird
"Oh, I guess. Wait, why are you here?" I asked
"Well you made a wish and I was fortunately nearby munching on an apple when I heard it and decided to help. I can get you out of this world, but it is a onetime offer." It said
"Huh, uh you are serious..." I looked at the little bat incredulously
"Yes, but you have to decide now." It said
"Well where will you send me?" I asked
"Hmm let me think, Harry potter universe is full. Avengers... nah everyone there has gone mad, aha got it. I can send you to the infamous Game of Thrones universe." It said
"Are you insane? I will get killed by the battle hungry backstabbing bitches in that world." I screamed at the bat
"Well, I can give you special powers as compensation. How about captain America super strength? You can thrash people left and right and as an added bonus you get to be a Targaryen." the bat said
"Which Targaryen...?" I asked curiously
"Viserys Targaryan of course" It said with an eye roll
"What? Can't you make me Aegon the conqueror?" I asked hopefully. Who wouldn't want to be that guy, he thought
"Nope…. Sorry, not available." It said
"Well, at least give me a dragon my buddy…. You can do that. Common you are a supercool ASB." I asked
It puffed up at the praise and took a thinking pose.
"After I take the Iron throne I will give you lot of apples if you visit. We can have it together in the throne room as best of friends." I tried to bribe the bat
"I need some bananas as well and some pineapple" the greedy bugger bat asked
"Yes I will give you that as well. Lots and lots of apples, bananas, pineapples and anything else you need bro." I agreed
"In that case I will send you to dragonstone when Rheagar died. The dragon egg will appear in your hands and whenever you say the word Dracarys the egg will hatch and a dragon will be born. The rest will be on your hands. Since you had the decency to invite me and give me food as a guest I guess I will give you immunity to fire and very low levels of warging powers. Is that enough?" the bat offered
"Oh it is more than enough my dear friend" I said happily as I embraced him
"But let me ask you one thing will my parents be alright?" I asked
"Don't worry every soul that gets chosen by an ASB has a free heavenly family pack. They are in peace. But you my dear friend are in for a tough ride. Take care and don't die. Now enjoy the new world." the bat said as it created a portal and my soul got absorbed into it and I knew no more
