[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 2263866, member: 118"] Ys-Korros calls to his brother, whose cries for help continue yet seem to lack direction. Ys-Korros moves through the inky blackness until finally his brother comes into view just a few feet ahead, as if out of a dense fog. Ys-Baddaden is laying on his back, his gear scattered about him. His skin is pale, glistening with feverish sweat, and his eyes lock with Ys-Korros' in terror. Standing on Ys-Baddaden's chest is a tiny creature, vaguely humanoid in shape but no more than a foot tall. Its body is comprised of whispy black smoke and its eyes are pin-pricks of smoldering red fire. Ys-Korros gets the sense that his brother is paralyzed or injured beyond the ability to defend himself. In a flash, the creature produces a long black-bladed dagger and jabs it into Ys-Baddaden's chest. Ys-Baddaden lets out a gurgling cry as blood fills his lungs. Even as Ys-Korros tries to act, the diminutive creature leaps off his brother's chest and flies straight into his own...vaporizing on impact. ***** Ritsar finds himself standing on a grassy slope, under a shade tree and not ten paces from an inviting natural pool. The change of scenery from dark underground passage to blazing sunshine leaves the litorian briefly disoriented. When his eyes adjust, Ritsar finally recognizes the place - fond memories of swimming here in his youth with his best friend... "It is a good day to die, indeed," Charon says with a mocking sneer from his seat near the water's edge. "Is that what you said that day when you suggested we try to find some rumberries in the forest in spite of Master Vishar's explicit warning that it was too dangerous to go in there?" [/QUOTE]
