[QUOTE="talien, post: 5063744, member: 3285"] [b]City Under Siege: Part 7d – The Return of Leviathan[/b] Kham fired again, and another burst of crystals exploded, wiping a second star off the thing. Leviathan turned towards him with purpose. Beldin sailed up to the thing’s face. With a mighty roar, he hacked down on the star, cutting it right off Leviathan’s head. Tentacles grabbed him once more, encircling Beldin’s entire body such that he couldn’t even move. Sebastian sailed past and, with one extended fist, strafed the surface of Leviathan’s head. He struck one of the stars and it sizzled off the thing’s flesh. “One more star left!” shouted Kham. “Come here you big squid!” He was down to his last pistol. There was no Skiz to reload it for him anymore, but then he wasn’t using normal ammunition either. “Come get some!” Leviathan lifted one huge, dripping claw and SMASHED Kham and the Divine Fury in half. “NOOO!” shouted Sebastian. With a roar, he clapped both hands together and unleashed a torrent of eldritch energy from the very depths of his black soul. The final blow dimmed the light emanating from the tattoo on Leviathan’s forehead. It let out an ear-shattering scream of pain. Beldin slipped out of its grasp and fell into the ocean. The waters nearby began to churn into a powerful whirlpool as an unseen force lifted the creature’s body. It hovered over the swirling waters for a moment, and then it was hurled into the maelstrom. As it fell beneath the waves, it spoke its final words. [FONT="Impact"]DEATH IS ONLY A BEGINNING. I WILL RETURN, CADIC. I ALWAYS RETURN.[/FONT] Cadic’s voice echoed in Sebastian’s head, one of the few beings left alive on the now too-quite ocean. “[FONT="Impact"]I knew you had it in you. I thank you for taking care of that cur for me. Don’t worry about him returning. If he does, it’ll be well after your time on this plane has ended. You have my thanks. I will grant each of you one boon: you can call on me but once. If I can help you, I will. I bless you all. May the wind be ever at your back and the waters calm before you.[/FONT]” One ship sailed into view, its crew still alive. It was the Bloody Vengeance. “Well look what we have here!” shouted Drak Scarbelly from the deck. “An albatross and some fish!” Sebastian landed on the deck. “Fish?” Beldin bobbed to the surface. A second later, Kham’s head appeared. He spat out water as Beldin’s ring lifted them both onto the deck. Kham stretched. “Ouch,” he said. “I think I died there.” “You did,” said Sebastian. “Then I guess I know what boon I asked for,” muttered the Altherian. [/QUOTE]
