[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 3246276, member: 7006"] Griot looks at Jango as the elf explains himself, but there is no emotional resonance from the hawk. It either doesn't understand how strongly Jango fears the public perception with regards to the aberrant mark, or the hawk doesn't care. Is Jango making too big an issue of having this mark? Ari would certainly seem to think so. But then again... the voice would say he's not making the issue big enough. Jango lies down to go to sleep. As relaxation washes over him, he thinks about his mark. He drifts off to sleep. And that's when the nightmare begins. [B][COLOR=DarkSlateGray]"YOU DO NOT LISTEN!!!"[/COLOR][/B] The face is horrid... skin pulled overly tight around a mishapen skull... eye sockets empty and white... tentacles reaching out from the pocked, swollen, pinkish skin. [B][COLOR=DarkSlateGray]"YOU DOOM YOURSELF JANGO!!! YOU IGNORE OUR WARNINGS!!! YOU DO NOT LEARN!!!"[/COLOR][/B] Jango is back in the cultist's temple standing in front of the tall statue. Only the statue is not stone anyomore... it is that horrid pink flesh. This... thing... this human? This... creature... stands over the elf, and a look of absolutely rage creases his face. Jango tires to run, but he finds his feet are cemented into the floor. He cannot move. He is stuck. And as he looks up at this twelve foot monstrosity before him, he is afraid. So very, very afraid. [B][COLOR=DarkSlateGray]"WE TRY AND HELP YOU, BUT YOU IGNORE US!!! WE TRY TO BE KIND AND YOU SLAP US IN THE FACE!!! YOUR MARK WILL BRING YOU NOTHING BUT SUFFERING IF YOU DO NOT HEED OUR WARNINGS!!! BUT YOU PAY NO ATTENTION TO WHAT WE SAY!!!"[/COLOR][/B] A six foot long arm reaches down towards him, and the taloned hand reaches out, grabs Jango by the chin, and squeezes his face. It pulls Jango's eyes directly into his. [B][COLOR=DarkSlateGray]"RETURN TO THE TEMPLE! DO NOT DELAY! WE HAVE FINISHED BEING KIND! OUR KINDNESS HAS BEEN THROWN BACK INTO OUR FACES! COME BACK TO THE TEMPLE OR ALL THAT YOU LOVE WILL DIE!" "DO YOU HEAR US, JANGO?" [SIZE=5]"ALL -- THAT -- YOU -- LOVE -- WILL -- DIE."[/SIZE] [/COLOR][/B] And the hand squeezes shut and crushes Jango's skull. [COLOR=Yellow]"ARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"[/COLOR] Jango wakes with a start. He is in his bedroom. The sun outside seems to be setting. He quickly looks around and sees that Griot is not here. It was a dream. A nightmare. But so real. So very real. [/QUOTE]
