The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' How I wish one of my brothers was around to aid me with this.

You say 'Awid you WithH WhHat, AZszhkael?'

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' You've got a family, mortal?

You say 'I Dao. aoR I did.'

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' What do you mean, Kimert? You lost them? They died?

The face on Kimert's shoulder glows red momentarily. A wide grin forms on Kimert's mouth.

You say 'Stop mmakiingh mmmE do thaat ahht the mMoMEnt.'

You say 'It is a mattEr I don't likeh to bE takEn ligHhtly and I would hHateh you if you continuE mockingh me.'

You say 'Beh quuiEhT, demoon! mMy szstorY iszs nOoT finnnissHhehd yehT.'

The face on Kimert's shoulder begins glowing violently, but stops.

Kimert tries to speak, but no sound comes out from his mouth.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' I will give you the perfection and power you seek, Kimert. Just remember that I decide everything.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' Hearing your story was fruitful. Now I know what I need to do.

As the sun rises, the churchbells of the Temple of Light announce the dawn of a new day.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' Could we move to a location with a floor?

Oppressant frowns.

Oppressant stands up.

***We move to a more suitable location.***

Oppressant sits down and rests.

The face on Kimert's shoulder glows red momentarily. Kimert bows deeply.

You say 'WhAht Are we doiingh Nnow, AZSshhkAhEl?'

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' We prepare the ritual, my shell.

Oppressant rests easily in the serenity of the woodland park.

You say 'ThhE Tiimeh hass cjomE?'

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' Not yet. We need to make a few adjustments.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' Please watch carefully, brother. If you notice something wrong feel free to end the ritual.

Oppressant chuckles politely.

The face on Kimert's shoulder begins glowing strangely.

As the sun reaches its apex, the Temple of Balance's churchbells toll High Noon.

Oppressant begins to fashion a small doll that looks suspiciously like you.

Kimert pulls out a vial filled with a strange black liquid from his pouch.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' Let's see.

The doll looks wrought with pain. Oppressant peers at you.

Kimert begins spilling the liquid all around him, drawing something.

The liquid from Kimert's vial hisses as it touches the ground.

Oppressant moves uncomfortably close to you, nearly eye to eye.

Kimert finishes spilling the liquid, a pentagram formed beneath him.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' It begins.

Oppressant moves away and looks at his doll, 'This accomplishes what?'

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' I have already felt the presence of another trying to reach my shell.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' I will be the only one in here.

[Oppressant] 'Be fair, it is not that valuable a shell.'

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' I waited for far too long to share it with others.

Oppressant smirks at the shoulder's saying.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' You believe I should let others come?

Oppressant grins evilly.

[Oppressant] 'With more wills combined comes more power.'

[Oppressant] 'You've waited far too long to be alone.'

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' I am powerful enough.

Oppressant grins evilly, WICKEDLY.

[Oppressant] 'You are not NEARLY powerful enough.'

Kimert tries to speak, but no sound escapes his lips.

Oppressant moves quickly to your shoulder and grabs the face by the upper arm.

[Oppressant] 'You do not understand.'

[Oppressant] 'You do NOT know the WILLS the need be BROKEN.'

Oppressant throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!

[Oppressant] 'For one will fall and be weak in the eyes of our LORD.'

[Oppressant] 'No one commanded fear in one psyche.'

[Oppressant] 'That is the very WEAKNESS of the mortals!'

Oppressant brings his eyeball right next to the face on your shoulder.

Struggling trough Oppressant's hand, the face on Kimert's shoulder speaks 'This one has accepted me. Agreed that I am enough.

[Oppressant] 'Welcome more, or be alone forever.'

You ponder the question.

The face seems to be concentrating deeply. Kimert shivers.

[Oppressant] 'There is no Family in one, and there is no utility in a single opinion.'

[Oppressant] 'You think I am alone?'

Oppressant looks at himself.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' I feel him again.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' He is closer.

Oppressant nods.

[Oppressant] 'Bring him closer.'

Oppressant growls, 'Then snatch his very essence!'

The night is about to end.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' His energy is...interesting.

The face on Kimert's shoulder glows violently red.

As the sun rises, the churchbells of the Temple of Light announce the dawn of a new day.

In a flash of red light, Kimert's left shoulderplate cracks open and it falls to the ground, shattered.

Oppressant looks at you, his face contorting to almost a visage of disgust.

The ground beneath you shakes lightly as the massive Golem guard patrols on all sides.

The now exposed flesh on Kimert's left shoulder begins to ripple and move strangely.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' He is close!

Oppressant nods.

[Oppressant] 'Lie in wait, like a thief in the night.'

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' I will take your advice, Oppressant. I will let another one come.

The sky is getting cloudy.

[Oppressant] 'Let four more come if they are so willing.'

[Oppressant] 'Seven, it matters not.'

Oppressant looks at the doll of you he fashioned, and it begins to ripple.

The skin on Kimert's left shoulder stops moving. A bleeding rune appears on it.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' Interesting.

As the sun reaches its apex, the Temple of Balance's churchbells toll High Noon.

Several faces form on the appendages of the doll as Oppressant grins wildly, 'It is like fresh meat to a den of sharks.'

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' Speak your name, brother.

'FAR more than you've expected. You are very infantile yet.' Oppressant continues.

Oppressant brushes your shoulder tenderly, 'Just... a hopeful facade yet.'

The bleeding rune on Kimert's shoulder changes color as a voice is heard 'I am Kurael.'

The doll in Oppressant's hands begins to bleed from its appendages where the faces roam.

[Oppressant] 'And I am Fear.'

The bleeding rune on Kimert's shoulder changes color as a voice is heard 'Finally free. Is this shell suitable?

Oppressant smiles, noting the stitching on his hat.

As the sun sets, the churchbells of the Temple of Darkness announce the onset of night.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' More than suitable. I have guided it trough it's life well.

Oppressant smiles on the shoulder, again brushing it gently, 'You are not free. But you now know you are imprisoned.'

The bleeding rune on Kimert's shoulder changes color as a voice is heard 'You have no idea where was I kept.

Oppressant chuckles politely.

[Oppressant] 'You claim I have no idea hmm.'

[Oppressant] 'I must not know of Demons.'

The bleeding rune on Kimert's shoulder changes color.

This little creature seems to present itself as a small doll, standing

about two feet tall. It has no truly defined characteristics such as

fingers or toes, but rather blunt nubs instead. It appears stuffed and

wears a cute corduroy vest, sewn into it. Likewise, a thin straw hat

rests easily on its head, sewn on. On the hat, FEAR is prominently

stitched into the front.

About the entirety of the small doll is a variety of different sized

needles. They move in and out eerily as it shifts around. The dolls

face consists of the top halves of two black circles. As these seem to

be the eyes, likewise does a single bottom semicircle seem to denote a

mouth.

Oddly enough, the doll lugs around another doll of almost the exact

same size, but it is completely featureless, barring a similar series

of varied protruding needles.

Oppressant currently holds the title of Master Questor of Aabahran.

Oppressant has a few scratches.

Oppressant is using: Lot's of Shinies

Oppressant looks at you.

The bleeding rune on Kimert's shoulder changes color as a voice is heard 'Hm...you seem familiar.

Oppressant licks his mouth and smiles.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' He is our brother, Kurael.

The bleeding rune on Kimert's shoulder changes color as a voice is heard 'And what is your name?

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' I am Ashkael, torturer from the Fifth circle.

Oppressant shows his approval by clapping his hands together.

The bleeding rune on Kimert's shoulder changes color as a voice is heard 'The Fifth you say? How odd.

The bleeding rune on Kimert's shoulder changes color as a voice is heard 'I thought you minor demons could not posses humans.

A malicious chuckle is heard from the face on Kimert's shoulder.

Tijuin yells 'Caravan for Val Miran now departing! All whom wish to, best follow it now.'

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' I waited for a long time. I then noticed this shell.

[Oppressant] 'Well shall we congratulate you?'

Oppressant smirks.

The bleeding rune on Kimert's shoulder changes color as a voice is heard ' I think not. I will be the master of this shell, Ashkael. If you wish to stick around I suggest you obey.

Oppressant facepalms.

[Oppressant] 'There are no suggestions.'

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' I only wish to see this world burn, Kurael. I believe we have a common goal.

Oppressant raises an eyebrow.

The bleeding rune on Kimert's shoulder changes color as a voice is heard ' So it would seem.

[Oppressant] 'Well that's a great way to land you a stay in jail.'

Oppressant sits down and rests.

You peer intently at Oppressant.

The two voices seem to merge and Kimert speaks 'We did not mean your cities, Oppressant.

Oppressant grins evilly.

[Oppressant] 'Of course not.'

Oppressant winks suggestively.

The two voices seem to merge and Kimert speaks 'We would not destroy something one of us works with.

Oppressant closes his eyes momentarily.

Oppressant closes his eyes momentarily.

The face on Kimert's shoulder glows red momentarily. A wide grin forms on Kimert's mouth.

[Oppressant] 'Then you are unlike me.'

Oppressant sits down and rests.

The face on Kimert's shoulder speaks ' I thank you for your guidance, Oppressant.

Oppressant nods.

Oppressant grins evilly.

Oppressant stands up.

Oppressant flies north.

The Blood Guard walks north.

The two voices seem to merge and Kimert speaks 'What shall we burn now?

Secharius tells you 'I lacked the ssstrength to follow in my parentsss footsstepss, I could not properly ssswing a sssword, and I wasss not asss sssmart *** my mother, they abandoned me in a foressst'

You tell Secharius 'If you've suffered such, why do you continue to follow the ways of your light?'

Secharius tells you 'The nymphsss and faeriesss taught me the light, I wisssh to find my parentsss and ssshow them what the light hasss to offer.'

You tell Secharius 'Your light is useless. The darkness has so much more to offer to those of your trade.'

Secharius tells you 'Mayhapss, but *** I sssaid, I had little choisss in my trade.'

You tell Secharius 'Turn your back to you light. Come and join those that hold true power.'

You tell Secharius 'Then instead of showing your parents the filthy light, you can show them the power you've achieved.'

You tell Secharius 'Slice their throats and let them bleed. They deserve nothing more for abandoning you.'

You tell Secharius 'We offer you guidance, slith. It is not often that demons offer assistance to mortals.'

You tell Secharius 'If we do not plan on possessing.'

Secharius tells you 'I have been touched by the darknesss, it wasss cold and mercilesss, I wish to ssshow them sssomething more.'

You tell Secharius 'Your light is useless we tell you. Continue to follow the filthy Gods of light and you will meet your doom.'

Secharius tells you 'We all meet our doom in time, I wisssh to meet mine with the full power of the light, the heat...the warmth...the love, do you not deny thessse powersss?'

You tell Secharius 'We Deny theM.. wAhrMth? what is better thawn ahh buhrning flaame? Love? LOove is a mMeAhningless mmortawl eMmMaotioOon. Iif Yoou shed Yaouhhrself oOof these emtions, thaat is when true pOower caommmes..'

You tell Secharius 'these are the oonly real thHings thaT YOou can see and feel fOr Yoourself..'

Secharius tells you 'I do not argue that thossse thingsss are necessssary in thisss world, for without them there would not be life, rebirth and ultimately change, a world without any of thossse would not really be a world.'

You tell Secharius 'whY ahhre yoouhh led by meaaninghless emaotioOons then?'

You tell Secharius 'What gooood has yoouhhr light brought yOoUh eXcept Pain and suhhffering?'

Secharius tells you 'It hasss brought me companionssship, love though fleeting asss well, but the power of love isss one that lingersss, have you ever experiensssed love?'

You tell Secharius 'We have Nnao nNneed for mmmoortal emmootiOons. We desire Poower. We exzist aonnly toOo serve ouhr mmmaster.'

Secharius tells you 'To what end?'

You tell Secharius 'Depending on our master's mood. We do all that pleases him.'

Secharius tells you 'And ssserving your massster, doesss he give you power?'

You tell Secharius 'Of course. If we execute our orders swiftly, with a lot of screams and destruction, there is always a reward.'

Secharius tells you 'And if you fail to meet your masstersss sssatissfaction?'

You tell Secharius 'We are punished. Only those fit to serve and acomplish everything their master asks of them are worthy of his rewards.'

Secharius tells you 'Isss ssserving your masster your only...wisssh? Or isss there life for you beyond thisss ssservitude?'

You tell Secharius 'We are created to serve our master. There is nothing more for us. We have our desires, but we follow them only if it pleases our master.'

Secharius tells you 'What if you were to be freed from your massstersss bond? Would you be more...or lessss powerful do you think?'

You tell someone 'less, aof coOourse... we Draww ouhHr Poower frooM the bOnD with OuhHr mMaster and the rift..'

Secharius tells you 'Your bond with your massster i confesss doesss intrigue me, i mussst away, may we perhapsss continue thisss dissscussion at another point?'

You tell someone 'IiNndeed, mmmOortal. we shaLl speak with yoU agaiN. think aboUt youhHr light and aoUhr pRopaosal... There is much mMaore the chaOs has tao offer...'

Secharius tells you 'Aye, until next we ssspeak, farewell.'
