  1. [18:01] <!CYOA-sama> -CRACK-
  2. [18:02] <!CYOA-sama> A flash of lightning pierces the sky over the Wraithmire.
  3. [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.
  4. [18:03] <!CYOA-sama> For the first time ever... an undead will be intentionally created.
  5. [18:03] <!CYOA-sama> Everyone in Wraithmire have been undead for as long as they can remember.
  6. [18:03] <!CYOA-sama> They've all "lived" with their curse.
  7. [18:04] <!CYOA-sama> But now, they will bestow that same curse on a man who never asked for it.
  8. [18:04] <!CYOA-sama> It is a decision that the entire town came to as a whole.
  9. [18:04] <!CYOA-sama> To permanently taint a paladin for their own selfishness.
  10. [18:05] <!CYOA-sama> An elegant blond woman clutches a cross and prays as smoke rises from her hands.
  11. [18:07] <!CYOA-sama> A woman in a cape paces back and forthe with a scythe, the blade of which has been broken.
  12. [18:08] <!CYOA-sama> The square is filled with complex faces, a mixture of guilt and concern making them hard to read.
  13. [18:08] <!CYOA-sama> The paladin's shining sword is placed in the hands of his corpse.
  14. [18:08] <!CYOA-sama> The ritual to create a deathknight will bind his soul to the blade forever.
  15. [18:09] <!CYOA-sama> It's time...
  16. [18:09] <!CYOA-sama> Black lightning screams from the sky striking the body of the paladin.
  17. [18:10] <!CYOA-sama> The clouds crack and a rain of fresh blood falls over the city.
  18. [18:10] <!CYOA-sama> Thick gloopy blood.
  19. [18:10] <!CYOA-sama> From the corpse a cold chill spreads like a fog of death over the city.
  20. [18:11] <!CYOA-sama> The Beautiful Lich stands in a magic circle as she chants...
  21. [18:11] <!CYOA-sama> "By death I release you...."
  22. [18:11] <!CYOA-sama> "By blood I empower you...."
  23. [18:11] <!CYOA-sama> "By ice I bind you...."
  24. [18:11] <!CYOA-sama> "By your blade.... you live...."
  25. [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.
  26. [18:12] <!CYOA-sama> Dark runes emblazon themselves across the blade.
  27. [18:13] <!CYOA-sama> Old Abyssal runes that even most demons could not decipher.
  28. [18:13] <!CYOA-sama> The runes read...
  29. [18:13] <!CYOA-sama> "Beowulf"
  30. [18:14] <!CYOA-sama> With a sickening crack the corpse springs to it's feet.
  31. [18:14] <!CYOA-sama> The bones adjust within his body.
  32. [18:14] <!CYOA-sama> The stitching around his neck glows red as the wound burns itself closed.
  33. [18:15] <!CYOA-sama> A chilling wind envelops him.....
  34. [18:15] <!CYOA-sama> He opens his eyes, now glowing blue orbs of negative energy.
  35. [18:15] <!CYOA-sama> And he raises his blade...
  36. [18:15] <!CYOA-sama> ---------ill no------
  37. [18:16] <!CYOA-sama> He raises his blade and....
  38. [18:16] <!CYOA-sama> ----will not b-------
  39. [18:16] <!CYOA-sama> He... raises... his... bla--
  40. [18:16] <!CYOA-sama> --will not be cont-----
  41. [18:16] <!CYOA-sama> ------aises hi-------
  42. [18:16] <!CYOA-sama> I WILL NOT BE CONTROLLED!
  43. [18:17] <!CYOA-sama> The nether wind breaks.
  44. [18:17] <!CYOA-sama> A silver flash of light cracks down from the heavens purging the area of magic.
  45. [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.
  46. [18:18] <!CYOA-sama> You stand slowly.... all life gone from your body... a sivery blue light emenating from your eyes and lyrium tattoos.
  47. [18:19] <!CYOA-sama> "Unbelievable......." Velvet says as she places her hand on your cheek.
  48. [18:19] <!CYOA-sama> "I...."
  49. [18:19] <!CYOA-sama> "You were killed...." She says.
  50. [18:19] <!CYOA-sama> "I know...." You respond.
  51. [18:20] <!CYOA-sama> "I... have been ressurected as an undead then?"
  52. [18:20] <!CYOA-sama> "Yes.... a Death Knight."
  53. [18:20] <!CYOA-sama> "And the force trying to control me?"
  54. [18:21] <!CYOA-sama> "Most likely the Lich King, but it's nothing to concern yourself with.... you broke free. Just as Lilly predicted."
  55. [18:21] <!CYOA-sama> "You.... do you hate us?" Rebecca says from behind Lilly's dress.
  56. [18:22] <!CYOA-sama> You look around.
  57. [18:22] <!CYOA-sama> The entire town gathered here.
  58. [18:22] <!CYOA-sama> Just for you?
  59. [18:22] <!CYOA-sama> It's true you had already decided to make a life here... but this....
  60. [18:23] <!CYOA-sama> [ ] No... I don't hate you. Any of you.
  61. [18:23] <!CYOA-sama> [ ] I'm... an abomination.
  62. [18:23] <!CYOA-sama> [ ] Where is Urma? -scowl-

  66. [18:38] <Brutus_> [X] I'm... an abomination. (Only picking this because he literally just went from not being a pally to undead)
  67. [18:42] <Taco_Hell> [x] I'm...an abomination
  68. [19:08] <InvisiBro> [x] I'm...an abomination

  72. [19:12] <InvisiBro> locking in my answer, ma'am
  73. [19:13] <CEB> [X] No... I don't hate you. Any of you.
  74. [19:13] <Brutus_> [X] I'm... an abomination (Locked in)
  75. [19:13] <Taco_Hell> [x] I'm...an abomination
  76. [19:13] <Taco_Hell> LOCKING IN
  77. [19:16] <Aeria> Abomination
  78. [19:20] <!CYOA-sama> Alright then....
  79. [19:21] <!CYOA-sama> "I'm... an abomination."
  80. [19:21] <!CYOA-sama> The girls all stare blankly at you.
  81. [19:21] <!CYOA-sama> Lilly looks down dejectedly.
  82. [19:21] <!CYOA-sama> That's right.... you are a paladin... and undead are abominations.
  83. [19:22] <!CYOA-sama> Deep down you knew that was how it was from the start.
  84. [19:22] <!CYOA-sama> What the hell have you been doing.
  85. [19:23] <!CYOA-sama> You grab your magic blade, despite your tainted flesh it doesn't seem to be rejecting you.
  86. [19:23] <!CYOA-sama> You are an abomination... and that means this entire city... is an abomination.
  87. [19:24] <!CYOA-sama> Urma steps forward.
  88. [19:24] <!CYOA-sama> "Alexander... I'm sor-"
  89. [19:24] <!CYOA-sama> You run her through.
  90. [19:24] <!CYOA-sama> This was the inevitable conclusion.
  91. [19:25] <!CYOA-sama> Before anyone processes what's happening Urma's body turns to ash.
  92. [19:25] <!CYOA-sama> You spin around and cleave Velvet in two.
  93. [19:26] <!CYOA-sama> The crystal necklace around her neck, her phylactery, shatters.
  94. [19:26] <!CYOA-sama> Most of the girls try to run from you, but your abilities make escape impossible.
  95. [19:27] <!CYOA-sama> Zoe... doesn't run.
  96. [19:27] <!CYOA-sama> She knows she won't get away.
  97. [19:27] <!CYOA-sama> She looks up at you as you split her skull in half.
  98. [19:27] <!CYOA-sama> You don't pause to consider your feelings.
  99. [19:27] <!CYOA-sama> You can't allow yourself to do that anymore.
  100. [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.
  101. [19:28] <!CYOA-sama> One by one you ruthlessly purge every undead in the city, until only Lilly remains.
  102. [19:29] <!CYOA-sama> She stands stunned in the town square.
  103. [19:29] <!CYOA-sama> Rebecca's small body falls to the ground at her feet as you withdraw your blade.
  104. [19:30] <!CYOA-sama> "..... I too am an abomination...."
  105. [19:30] <!CYOA-sama> "Yes... you are." You say in response to her.
  106. [19:30] <!CYOA-sama> "And you knew that from the beginning... why now?"
  107. [19:30] <!CYOA-sama> "I don't know."
  108. [19:31] <!CYOA-sama> "Yes.... I suppose it doesn't matter now...." She looks down.
  109. [19:31] <!CYOA-sama> "I won't resist."
  110. [19:31] <!CYOA-sama> You place your hand on her shoulder.
  111. [19:31] <!CYOA-sama> "I'm sorry Lilly.... under different circumstances..."
  112. [19:32] <!CYOA-sama> "Do not waver now." She says as she looks you in the eyes.
  113. [19:32] <!CYOA-sama> You run her through.
  114. [19:32] <!CYOA-sama> Her body slowly corrodes into ash.
  115. [19:33] <!CYOA-sama> "Goodbye, Sir Beowulf." Lilly says with a gold vacant stare as finally even her head turns to dust.
  116. [19:33] <!CYOA-sama> The city is empty.... eerily so.
  117. [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.
  118. [19:34] <!CYOA-sama> "Yes.... I'm sorry... I lied." You say without turning around.
  119. [19:34] <!CYOA-sama> You put the tip of your sword to your heart.
  120. [19:34] <!CYOA-sama> "By the light of the Holy Church.... I purge thee." You mutter.
  121. [19:35] <!CYOA-sama> You feel nothing as the blade pierces you.
  122. [19:35] <!CYOA-sama> There is no warm light of ascension.
  123. [19:35] <!CYOA-sama> There is no heroes tomb for you.
  124. [19:35] <!CYOA-sama> There's no honor in slaughter.
  125. [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.
  126. [19:36] <!CYOA-sama> As your body crumbles you look out over the ocean.
  127. [19:37] <!CYOA-sama> The sun is beginning to rise...
  128. [19:37] <!CYOA-sama> What a scene for such a meaningless end.
  129. [19:37] <!CYOA-sama> -Game Over-
