- [18:01] <!CYOA-sama> -CRACK-
- [18:02] <!CYOA-sama> A flash of lightning pierces the sky over the Wraithmire.
- [18:02] <!CYOA-sama> On a stormy night, in the middle of the town, with trace amouts of negative energy collected from many willing sorces.
- [18:03] <!CYOA-sama> For the first time ever... an undead will be intentionally created.
- [18:03] <!CYOA-sama> Everyone in Wraithmire have been undead for as long as they can remember.
- [18:03] <!CYOA-sama> They've all "lived" with their curse.
- [18:04] <!CYOA-sama> But now, they will bestow that same curse on a man who never asked for it.
- [18:04] <!CYOA-sama> It is a decision that the entire town came to as a whole.
- [18:04] <!CYOA-sama> To permanently taint a paladin for their own selfishness.
- [18:05] <!CYOA-sama> An elegant blond woman clutches a cross and prays as smoke rises from her hands.
- [18:07] <!CYOA-sama> A woman in a cape paces back and forthe with a scythe, the blade of which has been broken.
- [18:08] <!CYOA-sama> The square is filled with complex faces, a mixture of guilt and concern making them hard to read.
- [18:08] <!CYOA-sama> The paladin's shining sword is placed in the hands of his corpse.
- [18:08] <!CYOA-sama> The ritual to create a deathknight will bind his soul to the blade forever.
- [18:09] <!CYOA-sama> It's time...
- [18:09] <!CYOA-sama> Black lightning screams from the sky striking the body of the paladin.
- [18:10] <!CYOA-sama> The clouds crack and a rain of fresh blood falls over the city.
- [18:10] <!CYOA-sama> Thick gloopy blood.
- [18:10] <!CYOA-sama> From the corpse a cold chill spreads like a fog of death over the city.
- [18:11] <!CYOA-sama> The Beautiful Lich stands in a magic circle as she chants...
- [18:11] <!CYOA-sama> "By death I release you...."
- [18:11] <!CYOA-sama> "By blood I empower you...."
- [18:11] <!CYOA-sama> "By ice I bind you...."
- [18:11] <!CYOA-sama> "By your blade.... you live...."
- [18:12] <!CYOA-sama> The agonizing howl of necromancy echos through the city as a swirling vortex of nether energies whips up around the corpse.
- [18:12] <!CYOA-sama> Dark runes emblazon themselves across the blade.
- [18:13] <!CYOA-sama> Old Abyssal runes that even most demons could not decipher.
- [18:13] <!CYOA-sama> The runes read...
- [18:13] <!CYOA-sama> "Beowulf"
- [18:14] <!CYOA-sama> With a sickening crack the corpse springs to it's feet.
- [18:14] <!CYOA-sama> The bones adjust within his body.
- [18:14] <!CYOA-sama> The stitching around his neck glows red as the wound burns itself closed.
- [18:15] <!CYOA-sama> A chilling wind envelops him.....
- [18:15] <!CYOA-sama> He opens his eyes, now glowing blue orbs of negative energy.
- [18:15] <!CYOA-sama> And he raises his blade...
- [18:15] <!CYOA-sama> ---------ill no------
- [18:16] <!CYOA-sama> He raises his blade and....
- [18:16] <!CYOA-sama> ----will not b-------
- [18:16] <!CYOA-sama> He... raises... his... bla--
- [18:16] <!CYOA-sama> --will not be cont-----
- [18:16] <!CYOA-sama> ------aises hi-------
- [18:16] <!CYOA-sama> I WILL NOT BE CONTROLLED!
- [18:17] <!CYOA-sama> The nether wind breaks.
- [18:17] <!CYOA-sama> A silver flash of light cracks down from the heavens purging the area of magic.
- [18:17] <!CYOA-sama> The cursed armor your corpse was dressed in in an attempt to control you should you go berserk shatters and litters the ground.
- [18:18] <!CYOA-sama> You stand slowly.... all life gone from your body... a sivery blue light emenating from your eyes and lyrium tattoos.
- [18:19] <!CYOA-sama> "Unbelievable......." Velvet says as she places her hand on your cheek.
- [18:19] <!CYOA-sama> "I...."
- [18:19] <!CYOA-sama> "You were killed...." She says.
- [18:19] <!CYOA-sama> "I know...." You respond.
- [18:20] <!CYOA-sama> "I... have been ressurected as an undead then?"
- [18:20] <!CYOA-sama> "Yes.... a Death Knight."
- [18:20] <!CYOA-sama> "And the force trying to control me?"
- [18:21] <!CYOA-sama> "Most likely the Lich King, but it's nothing to concern yourself with.... you broke free. Just as Lilly predicted."
- [18:21] <!CYOA-sama> "You.... do you hate us?" Rebecca says from behind Lilly's dress.
- [18:22] <!CYOA-sama> You look around.
- [18:22] <!CYOA-sama> The entire town gathered here.
- [18:22] <!CYOA-sama> Just for you?
- [18:22] <!CYOA-sama> It's true you had already decided to make a life here... but this....
- [18:23] <!CYOA-sama> [ ] No... I don't hate you. Any of you.
- [18:23] <!CYOA-sama> [ ] I'm... an abomination.

- [19:13] <Taco_Hell> LOCKING IN
- [19:16] <Aeria> Abomination
- [19:20] <!CYOA-sama> Alright then....
- [19:21] <!CYOA-sama> "I'm... an abomination."
- [19:21] <!CYOA-sama> The girls all stare blankly at you.
- [19:21] <!CYOA-sama> Lilly looks down dejectedly.
- [19:21] <!CYOA-sama> That's right.... you are a paladin... and undead are abominations.
- [19:22] <!CYOA-sama> Deep down you knew that was how it was from the start.
- [19:22] <!CYOA-sama> What the hell have you been doing.
- [19:23] <!CYOA-sama> You grab your magic blade, despite your tainted flesh it doesn't seem to be rejecting you.
- [19:23] <!CYOA-sama> You are an abomination... and that means this entire city... is an abomination.
- [19:24] <!CYOA-sama> Urma steps forward.
- [19:24] <!CYOA-sama> "Alexander... I'm sor-"
- [19:24] <!CYOA-sama> You run her through.
- [19:24] <!CYOA-sama> This was the inevitable conclusion.
- [19:25] <!CYOA-sama> Before anyone processes what's happening Urma's body turns to ash.
- [19:25] <!CYOA-sama> You spin around and cleave Velvet in two.
- [19:26] <!CYOA-sama> The crystal necklace around her neck, her phylactery, shatters.
- [19:26] <!CYOA-sama> Most of the girls try to run from you, but your abilities make escape impossible.
- [19:27] <!CYOA-sama> Zoe... doesn't run.
- [19:27] <!CYOA-sama> She knows she won't get away.
- [19:27] <!CYOA-sama> She looks up at you as you split her skull in half.
- [19:27] <!CYOA-sama> You don't pause to consider your feelings.
- [19:27] <!CYOA-sama> You can't allow yourself to do that anymore.
- [19:28] <!CYOA-sama> Eyria tries to fight, but your holy sword sunders her blade in a single blow, destroying the source of her power.
- [19:28] <!CYOA-sama> One by one you ruthlessly purge every undead in the city, until only Lilly remains.
- [19:29] <!CYOA-sama> She stands stunned in the town square.
- [19:29] <!CYOA-sama> Rebecca's small body falls to the ground at her feet as you withdraw your blade.
- [19:30] <!CYOA-sama> "..... I too am an abomination...."
- [19:30] <!CYOA-sama> "Yes... you are." You say in response to her.
- [19:30] <!CYOA-sama> "And you knew that from the beginning... why now?"
- [19:30] <!CYOA-sama> "I don't know."
- [19:31] <!CYOA-sama> "Yes.... I suppose it doesn't matter now...." She looks down.
- [19:31] <!CYOA-sama> "I won't resist."
- [19:31] <!CYOA-sama> You place your hand on her shoulder.
- [19:31] <!CYOA-sama> "I'm sorry Lilly.... under different circumstances..."
- [19:32] <!CYOA-sama> "Do not waver now." She says as she looks you in the eyes.
- [19:32] <!CYOA-sama> You run her through.
- [19:32] <!CYOA-sama> Her body slowly corrodes into ash.
- [19:33] <!CYOA-sama> "Goodbye, Sir Beowulf." Lilly says with a gold vacant stare as finally even her head turns to dust.
- [19:33] <!CYOA-sama> The city is empty.... eerily so.
- [19:33] <!CYOA-sama> "I'm gonna be alone for a long time huh?" The voice of the ghost you met before says from behind you.
- [19:34] <!CYOA-sama> "Yes.... I'm sorry... I lied." You say without turning around.
- [19:34] <!CYOA-sama> You put the tip of your sword to your heart.
- [19:34] <!CYOA-sama> "By the light of the Holy Church.... I purge thee." You mutter.
- [19:35] <!CYOA-sama> You feel nothing as the blade pierces you.
- [19:35] <!CYOA-sama> There is no warm light of ascension.
- [19:35] <!CYOA-sama> There is no heroes tomb for you.
- [19:35] <!CYOA-sama> There's no honor in slaughter.
- [19:36] <!CYOA-sama> The thing you've always feared, a quiet dutiful death, alone and with no one to remember you... will now come to pass.
- [19:36] <!CYOA-sama> As your body crumbles you look out over the ocean.
- [19:37] <!CYOA-sama> The sun is beginning to rise...
- [19:37] <!CYOA-sama> What a scene for such a meaningless end.
- [19:37] <!CYOA-sama> -Game Over-
