[QUOTE="talien, post: 4202952, member: 3285"] [b]The Last Resort - Part 7c: The Chosen One[/b] Four men walked over to Egil’s former room. Three stood in front of the door, masking the fourth as he fiddled with the door’s lock. They quickly entered the room and closed the door behind them. A few seconds later, Sebastian knocked on the door. “Egil, is everything okay in there?” There was the sound of clothing being shredded over and over. “Sounds like a no,” said Sebastian. “Beldin, if you please.” Beldin lifted his axe and hacked at the door. The doorknob splintered apart as the door swung open. The four men had thrown back their cloaks, revealing bright purple robes with the yellow sign emblazoned on the front. They each wielded a wavy-bladed dagger. Judging by the feathers floating around the room, the cultists had plunged their daggers into the bed several times. “The Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign.” Sebastian sighed. “I hate those guys.” “The Unspeakable One’s vengeance shall not be thwarted!” shouted a cultist. “We shall sacrifice the Chosen One in his honor!” “Wait,” said Beldin. “You think Egil was the Chosen One?” “Well, yeah,” said one of the cultists. “The Unspeakable One’s vengeance shall not be thwarted!” shouted someone behind Sebastian. “We shall sacrifice the Chosen One in his honor!” Sebastian spun to see four other men with daggers raised, standing in the doorway behind him. They too had thrown back their cloaks, revealing bright red robes with the yellow sign emblazoned on the front. “And you are?” asked Sebastian. “The Brimstone Order, fool!” shouted one of the red-robed cultists. He swung his dagger at Sebastian in a wide arc, who promptly ducked backwards. “But I thought THEY were the Brothers of the Yellow Sign.” “What?!” shouted the red-robed leader. He pointed at the purple-robed cultists. “Who are you?” “We’re the King’s Players!” shouted the purple-robed leader. “I don’t believe this,” said Sebastian. The two groups entered the room, squaring off over the bed. “The Chosen One is ours to sacrifice!” “No, he’s ours!” “We saw him first!” Sebastian and Beldin stood in the corner, temporarily forgotten. “Well, the good news is that you obviously struck a blow to the Brotherhood,” Sebastian said to Beldin. “They’re not very well-organized.” “Wait a minute, this is goose feathers!” someone shouted. “That’s my cue.” Beldin plunged into the red and purple mob with wild abandon.
