Jarlot: Thank you... Satnak.

Satnak: What the...you should be out cold.

Jarlot: You are ever the hero who tries the hardest and struggles the greatest to put the world to right. However, when it boils down to it... you can never win the battle that must be fought by others.

Satnak: You're... Shadow....

Jarlot: Now bound in my true form and more powerful than the GODS!

Aerith: Oh Silver Flame no....

  • Jarlot lifts his sword*

Jarlot: I COMMAND THE DARK GATE TO OPEN!

  • The tear from reality from earlier starts to open once more to Xoriat*
  • Kanatash teleports in*

Kanatash: What do you think you're doing.

Jarlot: I've decided to do some redecorating to the universe. I am the Child of Khyber but I only know of the Light of the Dragon Above by Jarlot and the Dragon Between through my pathetic mortal life here. There is much beyond the Celestial Dragons, though, and I intend to have it all. I have absorbed the essences of that Necromancer and when I slay the others I'll have your knowledge too. Then I will break down this world to remake to my liking with the power of the gods.

Kanatash: Worm. TASTE THE DARKNESS BEYOND!

  • Kanatash then blasts Shadow possessing Jarlot with the full taste of his powers*

Jarlot: HA! It didn't work last time because I am Chaos and Darkness incarnate. I have no name for Satnak to bind! You cannot drive insane the true Horror beyond! Your masters are a pale shadow of my glory.

Kanatash: They shall soon teach you differently.

Jarlot: I think not. For this body was designed for the one way to destroy a Daelkyr Forever. BY ABSORBING THEIR ESSENCE!

  • The Gate begins pouring the black monsters and horrors into Jarlot's body directly*

Jarlot: Prepare to taste OBLIVION.

  • he lifts his blade to kill Aerith*

Tifa: MASTER NO!

Jarlot: INSECT!

  • he channels forth black lightning from his fingertips to electrocute her*
  • Tifa... hits... the ground*

Jarlot: Consider that a divorce.

Aerith: I know there is good within you! I know you can't be surrendered to evil completely. Jarlot, I love you!

  • Jarlot then shoves his sword behind him and stabs Aerith*

Jarlot: And what a stupid thing for you that was.

Jarlot: YOU BASTA**!

Shadow: I am sick of seeing you in the mirror every day, pathetic and pitiful human soul.

Jarlot: I won't let you kill her or any other member of my crew!

Shadow: What do you think this is? One of Ketler's ridiculous animated dramas? Perhaps a story ook? NO, it is pain and suffering and this is life. You're a drunk and a lech and I am the god. In real life, the strong are victorious and then justified by history.

Jarlot: Shut up and fight.

  • Jarlot unfolds his mechanical broadsword*

Shadow: I shall burn the flesh of your bones without...

  • Jarlot stabs himself through the chest*

Shadow: Oh...

  • The Dark Gate Closes*

Jarlot: *coughs up blood*

Tifa: *moaning* I knew you... had it in you... master.

Jarlot: Terra has a lot to pay for when this is over...

Aerith: I feel myself... fading...

  • Aerith's body turns into flames of gold*

Jarlot: The damage from all this has damaged the ship... we can't stay afloat much longer. We'll jut keep going faster and lower until we crash....


Halester stands in confusion as his connection with his daughter is severed. The very air around him begins to pulse as he realizes what has happened. He quickly warps to the side as shadow spikes shred the space he was in. Terra appears before him, holding a broken gem in her hands.

Terra: (crushing the gem into powder) I'll have to thank Sa'vor when he returns. Because of that blast, I'm free of your little spell.

Her eyes burn with the fires of hate. The world around her warps as she gathers her power to destroy him.

Halester: Those pirates are more trouble than they're worth!

Terra strikes at him with the fury of a woman scorned (NEVER mess with this kind of woman :D ). He is thrown back several hundred meters, his left arm completely destroyed. Terra appears behind him in midair, sending another withering blast at him, removing the skin from around his face and burning out his right eye. His screams of agony can be heard for miles around as she continues to strip him of limbs and flesh. He finally hits the ground, bleeding, burned, and literally half the man he used to be.

Halester: *cough* *gurgle*

Terra: Your suffering has only just begun, father. I will make you pay ten thousandfold for what you made me do!

She readies to strike him again, but another shadow wraps around him and pulls him into the darkness.

Terra: So, he has decided to take action. This should be interesting...


Somewhere within a shrine in the Plane of Shadow...

???: Imbecile! You have failed again to secure my prize!

Halester: *cough* Please... forgive me...

???: I will not kill you yet. I still have need of you.

The demon thrusts his hands into what is left of Halester, fusing with him and restoring his body to... almost its original state. He is now far more demonic in form, his eyes seem to lead to the pits of Shavarath. A second pair of arms sprout from his back, ending in claws, and horns sprout from the back of his head, curling downwards.

???: I am Theronas, destined to be the greatest of the Demon Lords! You will not escape me again!

He disappears from the shrine, and the plane seems to cry out in pain as he moves through it.


Satnak - Earl, Kanatash, we gotta save the ship.

Satnak and Kanatash focus their will and begin slowing the ship's descent via TK. Earl, on the other hand, unleashes a nifty little trick.

Earl - I call this one *Polaris Boost*

The crafty elemental alternates fire and frost and the massive enrgy given off by the extreme changes in temperature begin to slow the ship.

Regardless, the landing is still unpleasant.

KRAK-KRUSH

MIckey - Okay, a sroll of true res for Aerith, a raise the dead coffee for jarlot, and then help Aerith get the others back up.

Lisa - Seems we are out of demons

Ketler - yeah I think we landed on the last of them.

LIsa - Well, you guys get this tub back in the air, I'm heading out.

Satnak - Lisa, with me, Kanatash, stay here, guard the ship. I'm sorry to say this but we might have to release the Crystals.

Kanatash - I was afraid of that.

Ketler - On the plus side we could then leave them here.

Squirrel teams race throught the ship and surrounding area setting up materials for repair and rescuing injured crew and those lucky enough to be on the revive list. Sorry, crossbow redshirt number 34.


Allen's Log, Journeydate 07 Today I managed to find Kanpai, although I have a strange feeling of dread. It's as though I'm still connected to the Forgotten Freedom somehow, because I can almost hear them call out. I could barely hear the ship crash into the ground somewhere, although that thought is almost too impossible to think about. With everyone on board, it would taken something incredibly awe-inspiring to damage the ship and the people on board. But enough about that, I came out here to forget about it, not dwell on it...

Allen's Log, Journeydate 10 Kanpai was just a few ruins, with a strange artifact inside of it. I have no clue what it does, but now I can see things that have happened and are happening on the Forgotten Freedom during my sleep. Perhaps it's the artifact I found, or that the ship itself has a kind of life, and is calling me back. It could be that throughout the adventures it had, all of the people inside of it, it gained levels and became a PC, as Jarlot would say, although I don't know what that means. My guess is that it is alive, possibly, in the same sense that a city is alive, that the people inside of it are like its blood.. They fight off invaders, repair the ship, similar to how we are able to fight off diseases and recover from injuries. But why I am still thinking about it?


Satnak and Lisa exit the ship and prepare to track down Theronas. Terra walks up to them, somewhat worse for wear.

Lisa: Are you back with us now?

Terra: Yeah...

She is unable to look Lisa in the eye. How could she? It was her fault they were in this mess in the first place. Sa'vor's insane, two thirds of the crew dead or critically wounded, wrecked ship, and Volrath was gravely wounded as well. What could she say or do to make this right? Lisa walked up to her and lifted her head.

Lisa: I don't blame you for this. The ones who enslaved you are to blame. We will recover from this. It will take time, but it will happen.

Terra smiles, but the feeling does not last. A shiver runs up her spine as she senses Theronas's approach.

Terra: He's coming... and he's mad. The vengeance of a Glabrezu is not a pretty sight...

Satnak: Bring 'em on! He's got nothing on me.

Terra: I appreciate your sentiments, but this is my fight. That bastard will know the full fury of the very powers he gave me, as well as a few he has no idea I possess. Should I fall, you are welcome to him, but I have to try.

In a rare move, Satnak defers to her.

Satnak: Very well. I'll wait till you're finished.

Terra: Thank you...

She turns to go meet him, but Lisa grabs her shoulder. Turning back, Terra is met with a deep kiss. In that moment, she feels as if she's truly been forgiven, even if it is only by Lisa.

Satnak: *ahem*

Terra & Lisa:  :blush:

Lisa: Oh, something else for you.

She hands Terra a bracelet that glows with a mystical light.

Terra: What's this?

Lisa: I know he's after you, so I blessed this to protect you in case he tries to possess you. It should also make anything you hit him with that much more effective.

Terra: (putting it on) Thank you. I hope to see you soon. Go make sure Michael's okay, and tell him I said thanks for protecting you...

Terra disappears into the shadows again and goes to head off Theronas.

Satnak: She knew about that?

Lisa: (smiling) At least that part of her hasn't changed. Always trying to know what's going on...


Satnak - Rock paper scissors, loser gets to hunt for Volrath.

Lisa - Coin. I'll flip thank you, you always pick rock and you always win because the other person's hand is irrecognizable.

Satnak -  :D


(imagine this happened immediately after Andrea and Marish were killed)

Norbaz rushes through the corridors, having heard the alarms sounded for, as Jarlot had described it, "Encounters above CR 20", whatever that meant. Soon he turns a corner, to see the dead body of Marish and the Sliced in two form of Andrea, walking away farther down the hall but slowly is Shadow Jarlot. Norbaz seethes but regains his composure, quickly casting a few spells and psionic powers upon himself.

Norbaz: Captain! What is the meaning of this!?

Shadow Jarlot turns to face the cooky.

Shadow: Oh? Just you. For a minute I thought it would be someone I would have to waste energy on.

Norbaz: You aren't the captain.

Shadow: So, you catch on.

The half giant dissapears for a moment, and the room becomes eerily still. Shadow Jarlot casually waves a hand and deflects a large dagger in a large hand that seemed to fade into existance for a moment. He repeats this manuever, effortlessly defending from several different directions. Finally bored, Shadow Jarlot puches the air, and Norbaz is shot back into existance and visibility, sliding back on the floor as if his feet had no friction from the blow. The half-giant is bleeding heavily and wounded.

Norbaz: Khyber's depths, what are you?!

Shadow Jarlot just laughs and draws his sword.

Shadow: Heh, be gone.

The cooky unhooks a small vial from his belt and throws it towards the one winged evil captain.

Norbaz: I'm not done left. Time for the 20 alarm!

The small vial erupts in a gouge of molten goo, vapors, and flame as it roars to life and freedom. Shadow Jarlot seems caught unawares for a moment, but begins fighting the beast and overpowering it. Norbaz uses this time to run back to the bodies of Marish and Andrea, lift them up, and start booking down the hallway.

Norbaz: Gotta get to Mick's or find Aerith... Khyber... I... I, DAMN IT TO KHYBER!!!


Satnak - Chili senses tingling... No, gotta focus, ship and crew in danger. Chili... Danger... GAH


Within the shadows themselves, the two titans race toward one another. As they clash, the world around them cries in agony.

Theronas: You have defied me for the last time! I will crush you and devour you whole!

Terra: Big words. Can you back them up?

The sound of their battle rings out, the magical energies causing the fabric of the plane to bubble and smoke as they pass. Blow for blow, they continue to fend off the others attacks. Frustrated, Theronas makes a rash strike, allowing Terra the opportunity to blast him out of the shadows. Reappearing on the Plane, Terra watches as he regains control. A sound from behind her is followed by a familiar creature crawling up her robe.

Terra: I told you not to come here. You know what may happen...

Not-Walter refuses to leave and rubs up against her.

Terra: Thank you, old friend. I'll win this for you, too.

As he climb into her cloak, Theronas resumes his attack. Blocking him, she drives him off with a barrage of shadow spikes. He counters by shadow binding her legs and attempting to slam her into the ground. At this time, another ability becomes manifest. A vine whips out from her sleeve and wraps around his leg. Terra pulls herself free and turns the tables on a now very shocked demon.

Theronas: (from the ground) How can you still have abilities I do not know about?

Terra: There is much about me you do not know. Though you had control of my mind, I was still aware enough to shield myself.

She picks him up with the vine and attempts another slam, but he breaks loose. Barrages of magic from either side are neutralized, so Theronas goes for melee. Two vines manage to restrain his second pair of hands, but the assault continues. He finally lands a hard blow across her face, knocking her to the ground.

Terra: (picking herself up) Not bad. It looks like I'll have to pull out all the stops on this one...

Terra calls upon the mix of Druidic and Sorcerous energy at her command. They swirl about her, warping her form. As the magic completes, she stands before him in the form of a were-tiger.

Theronas: A lycanthrope?!

Terra:  :P Bite of the Were-Tiger. I am going to rip you limb from limb. :devil:

With insane speed, she strikes him in the face, sending him careening back. She arrives at his destination first, and strikes at him again, this time sending him into the air. Bleeding profusely from the wounds her claws opened, Theronas rights himself and turns to face her again. He recieves a faceful of claw, followed by a bite to one of his arms. Tearing off a chunk of flesh, Terra spits it out and headbutts him as he reels in pain and confusion.

Theronas: Augh! W-what are you?! You cannot be mortal!

Terra: I am strong because I am mortal. I know what it means to truly die, so I can fight for those who live. You have caused great pain and suffering to my friends and companions. You have nearly destroyed the closest thing to a home I've had since my second mother was murdered. My strength comes from those who believe in me, who support me. Though my hand in this tragedy may not be easily forgiven, the least I can do to repay them is to kill you.

Theronas: (regenerating) Sentimental nonsense. You cannot kill me.

Terra: Watch me.

Theronas unleashes a powerful eldrich blast. Dodging to the side, Terra grapples him with her vines and begins heading for the ground at high speed. At the last moment, she pulls up and smashes him into the ground, causing a massive shockwave. Theronas gets up and turns to her.

Theronas: Incredible. I was right to pick you. I have no more need for this body. I shall take yours instead.

When he attempts to pass into her, the bracelet repels him with a flash of holy light. He pulls back his charred hand, howling in pain. At this time, the Bite spell wears off and Terra returns to normal. Sensing an opportunity, Theronas strikes again. Terra blurs as multiple images are created. Unable to tell the real one, he picks wrong and tumbles through her. With his back turned, Terra forms a mindblade and goes for the final blow. A flash of light surrounds her as Not-Walter casts his second spell: True Strike. Her blade pierces his heart, spraying blood everywhere.

Terra: (telepathically) Okay, your turn, Satnak.

Satnak: (warping in) 'bout bloody time.

  • UBERZORCH^5th*

[size=4]CREEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK[/size]

Lisa: Oh... Hell.

Terra: I have no idea what the hell is going to happen now.

  • The Ship's front twists and splinters until it turns into an Elemental like body of Shadow Jarlot crackling with Dark Energy*

Shadow: I am the embodiment of CHAOS.

Terra: POWER OF EBERRON, WARP WOOD!

  • Shadow seems tormented even as he seems to enjoy it as well*

Terra: Don't mess with a Druid!

Shadow: Ever see Evil Dead?

Terra: Err yes?

Shadow: Remember what the Trees did to the woman there?

Terra: You're so dead.

Jarlot: Have you heard... of Suzaku?

Terra: You're still alive after taking a sword through the chest?

Jarlot: Oh it only does 1d8+5 damage and my strength bonus...

Terra: But yes, what about the Eastern Phoenix?

Jarlot: That's Aerith's Solar Deva form... they have a speciality.

  • The burning flame Aerith disappears in then becomes a [size=4]BRIGHT GLITTERING PHOENIX[/size] before it burns its breath downwards... healing where it strikes*

Jarlot: PHOENIX SPINNING STRIKE!

  • Jarlot's HUGE sword then knocks the flame like a baseball bat with his next strike that explodes Shadow's new body into ten thousand splinters*

Jarlot: I never liked that side of my personality. It's gone... for now. It can warp the rules of reality... and it's been partially imprisoned on the Forgotten Freedom this entire time.

Lisa: You mean THAT'S why the ship draws evil people to it? It's a Hellmouth familiar to you!?

Jarlot: Duh. In any case, it needs the ship... me... and also my child to become fully manifest.

Lisa: Who's your child?

  • A typical Japanese schoolgirl who looks remarkably like Jaela as a sixteen year old steps onboard*

Sakura: Pardon me, but I'm looking for my father.

Ishmael: Call me Ishmael. Can I help you lady?

Sakura: *monologue above them all* My... heart is flustering.

Jarlot: OH HELL NO!

  • Aerith reforms in Phoenix fashion, looking as Jean Grey meets Final Fantasy as ever*

Sakura Jarlot (yes, that's his last name. What's his first name? Jarlot) Neutral Good 1st level Commoner/15th level Magical Girl

The embodiment of every Shoujo Manga cliche in the universe with her habit being to revert from insipid cuteness to teen valley drama to magical girl superheroine at the drop of a hat being exceptionally off putting.


Satnak - Okay, you bastard, you've thought your last thought. The very shadows you command are screaming for your blood.

The second key Twilight is the second crystal blade on the arm. Unlike burn, with its purely offensive might, twilight is more of a support boost. It allows Satnak to control all light and shadow within her radius of influence, even going so far as to summon destructive power from seeming nothing. Also it grants her great stealth, and speed when active.

Theronas - No, that was supposed to be my power, this was my realm.

Satnak - Guess what Spoils of war *****. *ZORCH* Well he's taken care of. Where in This mess is Volrath? What are we gonna do about Shadow cause I thought I got him back together with his buddy Cpt J already? Are we seriously gonna tolerate that... THING claiming to be his kid? And do you mind if I keep this, Terra? (holds up ruby and gestures to armor)

Terra - You really know how spoil a potentially dramatic moment don't you.

Satnak - I gotta do something between deifics and chili night.

Lisa - What do call puff of logicing people.

Satnak - Subtle way of one upping Kanatash. hHe can drive people insane, I can force reality to be sane.

Lisa - I know that has to be sick and wrong somehow.

Satnak - Yes I'm a twisted freak, now about my questions ladies.


Jarlot: Well you did reunite me with him but...

Aerith: NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!

Jarlot: Yeah... I'm sorta...

Aerith: NEVER! PLEASE.

Jarlot: Yeah, sort of lead to possession. In any case, you managed to help me do some damage to him at least... however he's awakened now.

Sakura: HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

  • Sakura kicks Jarlot in the head as she glides in*

Sakura: I'm Sakura! Pleased to meet you.

Aerith: Oh dear... it's my daughter.

Tifa: LIES! SHE'S MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY DAUGHTER!

Sakura: I have two mommies! I've learned about this in Health Class!

Aerith: GAH! NO! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!

Lisa and Terra: *stare*

Aerith: Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Tifa: YOU AS THE HEIR OF OUR LORD JARLOT MUST PROUDLY SERVE AS PRINCESS PRINCESS OF THE EMPIRE! DESTROY HIS ENEMIES AND FIGHT ON PRINCESS PRINCESS!

Aerith: Tifa aren't you dead?

Tifa: DEATH CANNOT CLAIM ME SO LONG AS MY LORD NEEDS ME!

Jarlot: I really don't...

Sakura: DADDYYYYY!

  • death grip hug that causes his eyes to nearly pop out*

Satnak -  :shifty: *pokes Jarlot's buggy eyes*

Jarlot - AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

Terra/lisa/Satnak/Aerith - hahahaaha

Tifa - Hp ... Such disrespect... snicker...haha


Volrath strungles to his feet. He then jumps off the ship to find a gravely wounded Halaster nearby.

Volrath: Suprising, the demon didn't kill you as it exited.

Halaster: *Gurgle*

Volrath: You truly are pitiful. Wasn't there something in the back of your mind, screaming that this was all wrong? That you should protect and love your child?

Halaster: No, Terra is merely a means to an end!

Volrath: Then you are even less human than a Great Old One. Even my father, the most evil one of them, loved his family. You are a worse villain than that demon. You betrayed the trust the world bestows on each parent, that they will protect and care for their children!

Halaster: ...

Volrath: You must be punished. I won't let you go on to an afterlife. You would just become a demon, and cause more suffering. Welcome to oblivion!

As Halaster's soul leaves his body, Volrath produces a sapphire. The gems glows and Halaster's black soul is ripped asunder. Halaster gives one last horrified scream, that is heard all across the Plane of Shadow


The creature continues to look around the arena at each individual. None dies then, but they feel as if their souls are being stripped of their beliefs until pure reality is left. Even the brave paladins wish to run, but with all their illusions gone they know that there is nothing in the world left for them. Once the creature is done it hangs its head. No one is close enough to see, but a tear falls down its face.

Creature (whispers): [COLOR=DarkRed]Can anyone answer.[/COLOR]

Then it screams.

The scream tears through the people around the arena. It injects into their minds all the pain that they have caused others until it erupts from their bodies in a spray of pure negative emotions. The only one to be spared is the girl tied to the stake.

Finally the creature is spent. It floats to the ground beside the paladins, stumbling out of dizziness, gasping for air, it's eyes only half-focused. Tears form two lines down its cheeks, but it does not sob. As it stumbles its foot kicks the torch, still holding the silver flame piece. Upon sighting the flame the creature's vigor is renewed. It picks up the torch and prepares to snuff it out against the ground.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

The creature hesitates. It stares at the girl, almost comically quizzical. Yet, through the blurring of her vision and the haze of her mind brought on by the trauma of torture, she sees the same horror in its eyes as she does on the faces of the dead parishoners. The creature floats over to her, still carrying the torch in one hand ready to bury it within the earth of the arena floor.

[COLOR=DarkRed]"Is this really that important to you,"[/COLOR] it asks, gripping her head tightly despite the small size of its paw, [COLOR=DarkRed]"that you still believe in it after all that has been done to you in its name?"[/COLOR]

The girl is not afraid so long as the flame still burns. "The flame holds the souls of all those that have been righteous—"

The creature lets fall the torch. It strikes the ground upon the flame end, stifling the fire. The creature watches it fall.

Creature: [COLOR=DarkRed]Return to the other demons.[/COLOR]

The sound of the girl's neck snapping echoes impossibly in the vastness of the chruch.

The creature looks skywards, though its view is blocked by the building above. Tears are streaming down its cheeks, the look of hatred in its eyes replaced for that moment with one of confusion and pain.

Creature: [COLOR=DarkRed]Why?[/COLOR]

Then it rockets into the sky. The shockwave from its passage disintegrates the church and the surrounding city. The creature keeps climbing, past the atmosphere, past the ring of Syberis, past all the other moons, until it reaches the space beyond it all. As it flies it grows, becoming a huge round shape of pure darkness, a moon. Out there it stands, waiting for the warp of time to carry it 700 years back to the present.

And out in space no one can hear it weep. But those whose minds are open to all possibilities hear a weak voice like a child crying in the night:

[COLOR=DarkRed]"My name is 13………… and I am tired of Hate."[/COLOR]


Terra: To answer your question, Satnak, I really don't care if you keep them. Even if I did, it's not like I could stop you anyway. I'd rather you not zorch me, too.

Satnak: Damn right.


( In Answer to the creatures question) Sa'vor: the flow of time must not be interupted. all things must come to pass, one cannot change the future, for in that way lies oblivion. it has always been so and forever will be.

Creature: [COLOR=DarkRed]but think of the good you can do[/COLOR]

Sa'vor: GOOD! good, through changing time you only bring darkness and despair. good is brought through actions and devotion. you comprehend nothing of reality.

Creature: [COLOR=DarkRed]but you could save your mother! and stop Slip being kidnapped.[/COLOR]

Sa'vor: sometimes one must sacrifice ones own happiness for the safety of others.

Creature: [COLOR=DarkRed]but you're evil![/COLOR]

Sa'vor: doesn't mean I can't do good things. doesn't mean I can't protect people. doesn't mean I can't feel

Creature: [COLOR=DarkRed]then you are as bad as the paladins.[/COLOR]

Sa'vor: no, I admit I do evil. they ignore the fact. I'm tired of your drivel. Be gone ( the creatures essence is sucked into a void in which lies nothingness. Sa'vor's face is grim, and he begins his three hundred year preparations.)

                                 *** 

( Somewhere on the edge of the universe, the allies of Halester prepare . Slip is chained to the wall in an antimagic cell, a Arch-Priest tortures her with magic) Slip: He will come, and he will rend your soul form your body.

Arch-Priest: yes, he will. and he'll fall into our trap. and a god shall be born among mortals. In accordance to the prophecy.

Slip: then why torture me? he'll come anyway

Arch-priest: Because he can feel your pain over time and space. it will drive him mad that he can't reach you. he'll become nothing more than an animal. and when your friends on the Forgotten Freedom find you, he will have to climb over their shattered corpses. in accordance to the Prophecy.

Slip: *spits in his face* then I shall enjoy your death by Sa'vor's hands, even if my mortal form hath been slain.

Arch-Priest: (cleans spit from his face) oh, you'll be alive. you'll be Bel-shammaroth's first victim once he enters the mortal world. and all shall suffer. and we shall be rewarded with immortality and eternal power. in accordance to the prophecy.

Slip: I very much doubt that. Satnak can take care of any god.

Arch-priest: ah yes... the deicide. she won't be able to survive the might of Bel-shammaroth's power. once he has Sa'vor and the mastery of time, his reign will be endless. in accordance to the prophecy.

Slip: why do you keep saying that?

Arch-Priest: you know... I have no idea. in accorance to the prophecy.

Slip: if I wasn't chained to the wall. I'd break your neck myself.

Arch-priest: but you are chained up. HA!

Slip: you didn't say it that time

Arch-Priest: say what?

Slip: in accordance to the prophecy.

Arch-Priest: Damn. ( bursts into flames, dies, cleaner sweeps up the mess and another priest steps in and puts on the arch priest hat) New Arch-Priest: well, I thought he'd never die. in accordance to the prophecy.

Slip: * groan* this is going to be a long day
