If this turns out to be a trick, I can't promise I'll be able to not kill you." "What do you mean, for now?" Bonum laughed. "I promise. Is there anything I can do for you all?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Well, I have Malum's set of tools for manipulating connections. And the same level of power he did, though it is limited by my own diminished state." There was a sudden wave of cold that came from behind Wynn. Death was there. Lerac fell to the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killing Malum with Tors would've been an acceptable form of justice because Tors would've technically been doing the killing, not me. And if Bonum pushes me, that three hours will pass a whole lot faster. What if Lerac killed him? Would that be acceptable?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wynn knew what her only option was. She opened herself to the two powers fighting for dominion of her soul, rejecting one and embracing the other. In the last moments before it gained total power over her, she blasted Malum/Bonum with a huge burst of swirling purple Shadows, infinitely more powerful than anything she'd ever summoned before. She turned to Death, anger rising. "Is that acceptable? Do you see what you've forced me to do?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Across the clinic, the walls began flashing in bright red letters: All Patients and staff report to the fifth floor as soon as possible. "Anything else you want me to do?" "Hmm... how about you get TAaron here. We have things to discuss." 3 hours ago, Telrao said: The Clinic: Calano's Office "And what about me?" Telrao asked. "I can help with defence and can heal... and of course, give people Therapy." She swished her tail and poked at a pen on the desk. "Along with... numerous other abilities." @Thaidakar the Ghostblood Thaidakar turned to the cat. "Hm?

We do what we have to do, but it doesn't really matter anyway. "You ever wonder about the nature of Kaos, Death?
