*walks out of the Forest, slowly, carefully, holding head in obvious pain*
O-gon-cho, could you please send me a little bit of Healing? My head is
pounding!!
Wow! I don't know if any of you have ever eaten the fruit from the Kara Tree this time of year. After it falls, it ferments as it's laying on the ground, and makes a pretty powerful alcohol! Many animals can be seen wobbling around the Forest this time of year.
Point is, when I leaned what happened to Calais, I went on something of a binge. Honestly, I don't remember much of anything from the past few weeks. I hope I didn't do anything stupid. Did anybody see me running around naked or anything?? Did I say anything crazy?? It's embarrassing, but I just can't hold my liquor!
*ahem*
Yes, this is my way of saying that everything I've said and done since Calais died has been a sham. I needed everyone to
believe I was devestated beyond all hope. Depressed, utterly defeated.
And how easily you all bought my lies!
And how few friends I seem to have. O-gon-cho is the only one to show the slightest sadness at the thought of me leaving.
So, you might be wondering why I went through with this charade. Since I will certainly not be able to pull it off again, I may as well tell you.
The very moment I learned what had happened to Calais, I knew what I would do. And it sure as hell wasn't Unbind!
No, I was after Justice. Or Vengeance. I can never tell the difference. But I sure wish Amplarx was here! How great an ally he would be now!! Who has greater right to Vengeance than I?!?! I told Nor Yekith that I would not act against him until he acted against me. And what is the
very first thing he did???
He violated my sister in every possible sense of the word!! Now, I answer his crime. I will destroy him. This is a blood-feud that will not be finished until he is erased from existence. There will be no talk of ending hostilities.
Still, that does not explain my ruse. It's a simple matter. Two seasons ago, Dagon's Leviathan destroyed two of Nor Yekith's cities, and killed his Prophet. In the process, some defenses were shattered. I don't know how many, or how many remain. But I needed to have at least one season to attack him before any of those defenses were reestablished. Last season, his rape of Calais took, perhaps, all of his power. He "offered me peace" so that he would be free to use his power on her. Therefore, he could not have thrown up any shields. (Odd how, in Nor Yekith's case, it may be that his shields literally
are "thrown up." Such a disgusting creature.) This season, I needed him to believe there was no
need for shields. If I was out of the picture, from whom did he need to defend himself? Nobody.
At least that is my hope. If he used his power elsewhere, the devestating assault I just launched against him will be unimpeded. No, not even in my wildest fantasies do I imagine he will be destroyed with this one blow. But it
is a blow of extraordinary magnitude. He
will be crippled. Next season, he will be, as they say, a sitting duck.
And yes, of course, this means his new slave and the Void will attack me. But I am not without allies, eh? Come get me, you two! I don't think you will succeed!
But even if you do, I could not have acted other than I have. Such an attack on my sister, on House Bhakti, cannot possibly be accepted. It is beyond insanity to imagine it can be. And if my life is the price, so be it. But I'm willing to bet my allies and I will give you two as good as you give me. En garde!
Now, let's sit back and see how I did, shall we?
