Difficult Choices..



You went to the place called Oxenburgh never dreaming that the demon called Forge actually knew the location of the third piece of the stone. His arrogance let him be sucked in by Thresholds phony story about it being somewhere in Oxenburgh, so Forge thought that he would have ended up with sole possession of two of the four pieces. And then he and his band of wraths ran into you, you slaughtered them, even flat out murdered a few.. Doing what is necessary isn’t always easy.. Difficult choices. This life that humans cling to, seems to be full of them. And in your short time here you’ve already made more than a few haven’t you Morganna? So. Now what will you do? If the human that is in actual possession of the third piece of the stone will not relinquish it? Will you make yet another difficult choice? Ahh.. but push such matters of dire consequence to the back of your mind now Angel, there is a little devil at your heels.. And the one called Sil will not be so swift in bowing to your cause.. She is coming Morganna.. For your head.

She stands looking strait down the cliff face. She cannot see how far exactly the bottom extends to as it is covered in mist and fog. She stands staring for a moment into that abyss pondering such things as fate and death. She underestimated Samantha Bliss and team Alpha, and now they are closing in on her sooner than she would have hoped. She still doesn’t have the stone, and Sil is coming fast at her heels.. She is different that one. Almost like Samantha Bliss. Tough as nails.. Harder than steel.. Quick.. Deadly. She steps into the clearing her eyes completely focused on Morganna, both Sai’s drawn ready to rumble.. The Angel almost catches herself smiling before turning to face her.
“You must know that you can’t beat me Sil.”
Her eyes narrow and she stares at her emotionless and unwavering.. She slowly begins to circle Morganna.
“Trying is still free though isn’t it Angel?”
She draws a deep breath and steps towards the little one known as Sil. She knows.. No matter the outcome this will not be easy. The blade lifts in her hands and her fingers begin to tighten. “Another choice Morganna. You’ve made more than a few to get the job done.. But it is far from over”

Raging Against The Righteous..



She swings the blade in a low arch but Sil is already out of the way and has nearly ripped her side open with a counter attack. And now she comes at Morganna with a venom that is new to her. Steel blades cross over and onto steel blades. The mist is higher now as she peers over the side of the cliff face. She holds her side as the gash that Sil has given her widens.. All of those wraths.. All of those red soldiers. Even Forge himself wasn’t this difficult to see to his end.. Such venom.. Such anger .. Difficult choices indeed. But you must live on to find the stone.. She turns to the cliff face once again and stops to look back at Sil, before jumping into the waiting abyss.

Moments seem like hours when you are waiting.. But she isn’t . Sil walks back down the trail towards her comrades to see if they are all well, a half of a mile in she hears Samantha Bliss’s voice echoing through the woods.
“Sil?.. Are you ok?.. We’re over here.”
She hastens her step ever watchful for booby traps set by locals that may have missed her on her first pass through here as she followed Morganna to the cliff’s edge. She meets up with them a full twenty yards further down the trail, for the most part the core of this group remains unharmed. Aside from a small wound on Priss’s abdomen which has been attended to. Samantha Bliss seems relieved to see her as she relates the events that had unfolded on top of the cliffs. She listens intently.
“And you don’t think that she had the third part of the stone with her?” Samantha asks.
“No.. in fact. I think that someone that is living up here may have it.. Morganna hasn’t found what she came for yet Samantha. Or she wouldn’t still be here.”
Samantha Bliss stares down the trail contemplating Morganna’s fate at the bottom of the cliffs..
“You’re right Sil.. She isn’t finished yet.. Lets go find Klinger and the others.”
