[QUOTE="talien, post: 3546081, member: 3285"] [b]Adventus Regis - Part 17d: The Senator’s Box[/b] Things were getting desperate. Cal had fallen from the ledge of the senator’s box onto his back, unmoving. Kham had collapsed next to him. And the beast in the arena advanced. Ilmarė touched the amulet at her throat. She loathed using it, but it was their last chance. It was a thing of rage. She prayed to Osalian that she would not lose her mind as Kham did to Fleshripper. The amulet pulsed around her throat and her limbs felt fantastically strong. She drew her bow again. The first to die would be the whore. Ilmarė turned and fired two arrows with lightning speed into the silenced Colia. She fell without a sound. Then she turned to the thing in arena. Arrow after arrow flew from her bow. It turned and hissed, leaping into the air to close the distance. But Ilmarė’s rage was unabated. Her arm drew arrow after arrow and each time Ilmarė fired, she found her mark. Before the thing could scrabble onto the seats, six arrows jutted from its face. It screeched and fell backwards, collapsing onto its dead brother. Then it too, lay still. She whirled, another arrow knocked, aimed at Beldin’s head. Someone was shouting something. “Ilmarė!” said Sebastian. “Stop! It’s us!” “Forever shalt thou contend for mastery and strive in bitter blood,” said a voice in her head. “No!” shouted Ilmarė. She threw her bow to the ground. Just then, the first rays of the sun pierced the leaden sky. The Aldebaran star sank below the horizon. The corpse that was once the prefect Octavius turned into a thick oozing and foul-smelling slime. And just as quickly as he had come, the King in Yellow returned to Carcosa. Bijoux came up from the depths of the arena with a boy in her arms. “I found Emric,” she said. “And forty-one other children.” [/QUOTE]
