[b]Anumi wakes up, dangling by a leg from a large tree. She glances around at the scene in front of her... It's dark and cold. She's alone though, just... Well, she doesn't know where. Her head is bleeding and her skin has several deep cuts along it. Tears well up in her eyes as something crawls from the shadows towards her, a grin on its face.[/b]
[i]"Where are your heroes now? Your gods? Your friends? They are gone... All gone... My... If only Damien could see this... I would love to hear spew stupid and then die trying to commit... And Val? She's dead... Killed her... And Caldon... Well... He's dead... And the rest... I killed them all... Don't you see? After you... I'm all that's left..."[/i]
[b]Malform sits down, wide eyed at his work. The rag in Anumi's mouth keeps her from screaming. The tears flow freely now. This is it. Death. She knows Malform. To him, it's just a game gone to far. But he enjoys it. This wasn't Lucien anymore.[/b]
[i]"Dearest girl... Gentle woman... How sad it must be to see your end... Right before your eyes..."[/i]
[b]Malform pulls out a sharpened rock and approaches Anumi. He slowly pushes it into her stomach. His smile seems to encapsulate his face.[/b]
[i]"Farewell..."[/i]
[b]He leaves her, dangling... Slowly bleeding out...[/b]
