[QUOTE="Gregor, post: 5861500, member: 11751"] [b]Enter Lee Sidoneth...[/b] Lars you step outside of the old prison, frigid choppy water at your waist, and scan your horizons. The storm has grown vastly more intense, if such a thing were possible, and the eye has indeed begun to shrink. Thunder booms in the swirling black clouds and the ocean churns and froths. As the party begins to group around you, you lift your eyes to the roof of the prison, now behind you, and see the shape of a man looming over you amongst the old stone gargoyles, his hands raised to the skies. You react instantly, reflexes taking over, and dodge a stroke of white hot lightning which flashes down from the storm and detonates an urchin and barnacle-covered rock right beside you. Bits of rock pepper you and the party and you turn your crossbow up at the man above you. Bald, tanned, muscular, and dressed like a fisherman, Lee Sidoneth stands with the calm of a sea seen in the distance, but up close you can tell he possesses great power, and is ready to unleash it, like a dam ready to burst. He taps an ornate glass wand in the palm of one hand and looks down at you through intense blue-grey eyes. [COLOR="LightBlue"][I]"My, my, my ... you are quite persistent."[/I][/COLOR] he says with a sneer on his face. Torrent stares up at her former mentor, wind blowing her hair behind her and sea spray splattering on her face. [COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]"Why Lee!?"[/COLOR] she cries out, remorse and betrayal saturating every word,[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"] "How could you side with the enemy?
