Ahhh, death. How I have longed for you...

Where is my child?! I know you have the answer! Tell me, demon!

Ahh, look at you. Charging into life without wondering if you're doing the right thing. Asking as if I had the answers.

Mannag, come! Ahh, good boy. Good boy... Shh, it's okay. It's okay. Don't look at me like that... That's a good boy...

Tell me the truth! Tell me--

Adriesta! Back away!

No... please. Please! Let me die! I beg of you! Let me d--

What is this...? What's going on?

Yessssss. Fooooolish chiiiild. Ahahahahah...

You didn't give him salvation, did you, Malachus?

You...monster! Is that...what a Raug overlord looks like in the flesh?

Ooooone of threeeee, indeed. I merely gave himmmm a chance... And he took it! A thirsty soul in the pits of despair. Silence, mutt!

Ahah, ahah, ahah. Not what you were hoping for, ehhhh Inquisitor? Oh, your bewilderment is amusing!

And you, vampire. Ohhhh, how you seethe in anger. Truly, you two are worth the losses I have taken today...worth every drop and scream!

What do you want? I assume this isn't just a social call.

Haaardly. You, Inquisitor! I have heard yourrr worthless cries for aid. Know this: that the Sun and the justice you hoooold dearrr has no answers for you!

No answers, and no hope! But I, ever-merciful Malachus, will extend you a favor, without price or bindinggggg.

I want nothing from you, demon! You have nothing I want!

I beg to differ! Choose, marked one: the name of the demon who took your child, or your child's whereabouts. Choose wisely...

We shall meet againnnn, very soon. And when we doooo, you will tell me your choice.

Your son misses his mother terribly... Oh so terribly. Ahah, ahah, ahah.

My...my son? Where...where is he?!

What have you done with him?!

Ahah, ahah. Nothing yet, In-qui-si-torrrrr. Nothing...yet. Oh, your rage is so amusing to see...

What good will your weaponsssss serve you now? Despair, marked ones! And for now, farewell...

My son! Oh lights above...my son... Aaaaaaaaah!

Well. It seems we'll have a measure of peace tonight, Adriesta. The demons are fading already with the departure of their master.

He said... Gabriela...my son...

Hush now. It will be dark soon. We will need to find shelter and make camp. Come, follow me. Easy now.

I suspect that this is only the beginning.

T-to what?

I wish I knew, little morsel. I wish I knew.

I wonder...if someone was watching us, playing with us. Where would our paths lead?

I guess we'll just have to find out now, wouldn't we?
