[QUOTE="Kemrain, post: 2215728, member: 12153"] A lot of horrow references to children. Very interesting. I have another. My GM and I never planed things this way, but they have a way of all coming together at the last moment. This is less scary and creepy as disturbing, learning what you've done and what you're capable of. Some of the most creepy horror stories I've ever read were ones where the protagonist was the monster, even as he fought against himself. Notes given in character, please don't mind the lengthy introduction: "[I]Malecan had been defeated, returned to his prison. The sorceress that let him out in the first place had herself an army, and had taken over the Necromancer's keep. It had been buried underground, but that didn't stop her from finding a way inside. He had to have a circle or two. Crystal Rose, the White Queen, the Savior of Voushta... Damn her forever for dying before I could send her to Hell myself.. She was away when we descended into the ruined keep to destroy one of Malecan's most powerful artefacts. The Well of Souls. This story isn't abotuthe Well, though. Before we destroyed the Well, we came upon a chamber with six.. Incubators. They stood half my height, a transluscent crystaline womb suspended in their middles, filled with a reddish fluid. One of my companions foolishly tampered with one, and its center burst open, dropping an infant onto the floor. Instead of laying there, injured, it clambered to its knees and scurried under another incubator, screeching. I'd caught a good look at it. It had small horns growing from it's forehead, and a long tail sprouting from the base of it's spine. It had an unnaturally reddish skin color, though that may have been from the sludge it had been suspended in, and stared out at us with slit-pupil eyes. An infant demon. Pulling out my wand, I proceeded to shoot at it, but it ducked behind cover and spoke, begging us not to kill it. My companions balked, questioning if a Demon child was wicked, and if it couldn't be turned to good, but I didn't heed their words. Leveling my wand at it, I.. Him. It was definately a him.. I, spoke the command word, and blew the creature to pieces. The others questioned me, but before they could stop me I turned my wand at the other incubators, reducing them to shards of shattered crystal and burnt red sludge. The room smelled horrible, like you'd somehow set a vat of blood on fire. The others demanded to know why I would slaughter the babies like that, and I formly told them that no Demon was good. No demon could be redeemed. They'd have waited for their moment and slit our throats in the night. I was raised in a temple, and I knew a thing or two about demons. they remained silent, but nodded in defeat. I forgot all about the demon children. We had other thing on our mind. It wasn't until we were looting the Tomb of a powerful Mage that it came up again. A demon, black as shadow with gleaming red fire for eyes, reached past my companions to envelop me.
