Pain, Hate and Blood

[Volgathras]

A somber look crosses Itatki's visage.

You say 'These rotten teeth.... '

You say 'Getting hard to chew all this flesh.'

Itatki looks to Phynken, 'What did happen to your body?

You say 'You wish to know?'

Itatki nods, 'Now, about your body.

You chuckle politely.

You say 'Centuries ago....'

You say 'Back when I was living, you see, I was an Executioner for the city of Miruvhor.'

Itatki peers at you intently.

Itatki nods, his face showing traces of antipation and wonder.

You say 'So caught up in my work of inflicting pain and executing that creating pain became an addiction.'

Itatki looks to his feet, and nods, 'Aye, aye.

Itatki coughs some.

You say 'I would clean the body parts and blood from the streets.'

You say 'Soon enough I began to wonder into the sewers, horrendous things I did in those sewers.'

You say 'Just as there are now, there were many homeless children.'

Itatki does his best to stifle a cough.

Itatki nods.

Phynuken grins widely, revealing the remaining rotten teeth.

You say 'Many nights I would torture the children for fun.'

You say 'Their screams just filled me with pleasure.'

Itatki stares to you, 'Screams, aye, the screams.

You say 'Few years go by....'

You say 'Found myself living within the sewers, cutting ties with civilization...'

Itatki says 'Why did you cease your duty?'

You say 'With my job as Executioner gone, I could not afford food. I began to feed on the flesh of the children.'

Itatki tugs at his gii, 'I see.

You say 'I had enough hidden tendencies that were more mere pleasurable than executing criminals and the like.'

Itatki nods, 'I see now.

Itatki stares dreamily at you, completely lost in your eyes.

Itatki says 'You, are just like me.'

You say 'Eventually the remaining children I had locked up escaped, and I had nothing else to torture.'

You say 'But, the torture did not cease. I had turned on myself.'

Itatki starts to cough, though he manages to keep his words discernable, 'What drove you to this maddness?

You say 'An obsession with pain.'

Itatki takes a moment to wipes the blood from his mouth and hands.

Itatki takes a breath, as deep as he can.

You say 'Slowly I would slice chunks of skin from my neck.'

You say 'Weeks later I had extracted my lower ribs to remain outside of my flesh.'

You say 'I began to become weak after this. My body was unable to sustain most of my injuries.'

Itatki says 'In a way, I fell into this in the same manner.'

You say 'Lastly, I removed all the flesh from my hands. '

Itatki shakes his head, 'Tissue, is so vulnerable.

You say 'Sadly, I bled to death.'

You say 'But, to my surprise.'

You smile happily.

Itatki motions his hands, 'And here you stand.

You say 'Some foolish necromancer had attempted to resurrect me thinking I could be controlled.'

Itatki peers at you intently.

You say 'So here I am, walking the lands once again to continue my obesession with inflicting pain.'

Itatki says 'Pain.'

Itatki says 'Hate.'

Itatki coughs, 'Blood.

Itatki goes pale, his knees buckle.

Itatki sits down and rests.

Phynuken breaks his index finger and smiles happily, the splits in his lip opening wide as he smiles.

Itatki looks the ground and coughs, 'I feel tired...'

Itatki collapses.

Itatki goes to sleep.

Phynuken quickly inserts a sharpened bone into your thigh.

Itatki wakes and stands up.

You say 'There is a bone in your thigh.'

You say 'Seemed you needed a quick fix of pain to wake up.'

You grin evilly.

Itatki holds his leg, 'I see.

Itatki coughs some, though looking somewhat better.

Itatki shakes, 'My family.

You raise an eyebrow at the notion.

You say 'What of your family?'

Itatki shakes his head, 'The sickness.

You say 'A family sickness?'

Itatki coughs, though manages to get out his words, 'No... no.

Itatki holds his throat, 'MY father.

Itatki nods, 'Radici.

Itatki motions with his hands, 'The King of the Faceless.

You say 'Faceless?'

You say 'Interesting, that gave me a few ideas for my next victim.'

Itatki puts a hand on his face, 'The most sinister of ninja.

Itatki slides his hand down his face, with his shuriken in the other mimicing a skinning, 'Our marks, were skinned.

Itatki looks to his hands speckled with blood, ' One fateful night, father came home.

Itatki shakes his head, coughs, and continues, 'Bringing more than his trophy.

Phynuken nods, as if getting interested in your story.

Itatki takes a moment, and nods, 'He brought to me his decision.

Itatki looks to the ground, 'He said I liked to prod dead bodies, and study too much.

Itatki grimaces, 'Though, one thing he did admire, was my research.

Itatki almost starts to tear up, though rage consumes his expression, 'He took my notes, and damned me to be a subject of my own creation.

Itatki slams his hands to the ground, 'But they did not know, the fools.

Itatki says 'The research was not complete, and here I am- ever dying.'

Itatki starts to cough madly

You say 'What is this infliction?'

Itatki says 'This affliction was the culmination of a perfect form.'

Itatki says 'Dead, as yourself, it would seem'

Itatki starts to creep closer to Phykuken.

Itatki says 'You say though, it is pain that drives you.'

Itatki says 'I only have hate.'

You say 'Hate of your family?'

Itatki says 'Hate of the world, and its ways.'

Itatki says 'The people all damned.'

Itatki clenches his fist, speckled with blood, 'My hate, keeps me alive.

You grin evilly.

Itatki shakes his head, 'And I will not be undone by those foolish doctors of the village.

Itatki coughs but yells madly!

Itatki yells 'I SHALL COMPLETE IT!'

You say 'You could very well indeed make a good addition to my cause, but this will be in no way a pass to escape the pain.'

Itatki collapces.

Itatki nods.

Itatki coughs, 'I will accept all the pain.

Itatki nods, 'All the pain in the world, to be able to keep hating.

You rub your hands together in greedy anticipation.

Itatki looks to the west, 'But I muse depart.

You say 'As must I.'

Itatki coughs, clenching to his gii, 'Till next time Phynuken.

You say 'My victims cannot wait for me too long now.'

Itatki grins evilly at you. Hmmm. Better keep your distance.

Itatki coughs madly, and dissapears.
