[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 2767579, member: 1210"] [b]Dexter's Greatest Moral Crisis![/b] Dexter’s greatest moral crisis ever- one that later troubled him throughout his entire life and beyond- involved a child. Traveling across Thule, a pilgrim, he was asked for help by a peasant family. There was something dreadfully wrong with their baby. She was a year old, yet somehow a terrible demon had taken possession of her. She taunted Dexter with the fact that, long before, he had given his soul to Bleak. He could not be saved. He had, in effect, made a contract. There was no escaping. Dexter tried his best to resolve the demon’s dilemma, but he couldn’t. The demon lied to him, claiming that he could not drive it forth without killing the child; and Dexter believed it. “If you do not kill me,” taunted the demon, “I will lie here by day, but at night we shall creep out and murder.” “If you do not kill me,” it laughed, “I will twist my parents’ love into hate, and they will serve the darkness.” “If you do not kill me,” it whispered, “I will kill all you hold dear.” And, for the greater good, Dexter killed her. The demon laughed and spat blood as the [i]staff of combat[/i] crashed down and slew the child that bore it, casting it back into the Abyss. The horrified parents could do nothing but weep. Dexter tried to console them, then walked away without looking back. As if he could see. It was probably a little easier, being blind. [i][b]Next Time:[/b][/i][b][/b] Dexter has a strange dream! Enter Pandos the Mute! [/QUOTE]
