[Continues] Morcrux Campaign: Tale of Two Scales

[Grimoire]

Jibril looked at the Seawyrm, finds it suspicious, takes out her throwing knife and aims it at the creature's eyes hoping to get it. Karlya sees Jibril reach for one of her knives and thinks she should prepare a spell, the air pressure from the them was warm and heat built up within her hand while in the other a light sparks flickering all up and down her sleeves as the two look towards the beast. As Farber senses the dread around him he looks over to the girls.

"Do you two feel that?" Farber holds his cleaver in hand and holds still as he gets a very spine tingling chill overwhelm him. "That sent chills up me spine."
The moment his words fell from his mouth did the beast begin to stir from its dead sleep. Jibril tosses the throwing knife at the beast when the head turns and she has a clear shot at it, throws straight and true. The domed eye cracks and shatters like glass and the blade tilts into the socket of the beast, blinding it in one eye.

it roars lowly before it latched onto Farber's right leg and drags him to the ground as it rolls on top of him. Holding Farber in one of it's forearms between its midsection, Farber was dragged under water and pinned beneath the beast, the other opposing appendage grabs Farber's other leg and pins him down. The Seawyrm cracks its neck and facing the group with its back facing the sea. Grommer drops the rope he was holding and reaches over to remove the weighted net, he knew he didn't want to hit the old man accidentally so he goes in with just his hands to wrestle with the beast.

The Seawyrm growls angrily at the group and the thundering footsteps of Grommer approaching it. The beast rose up holding Farber by both arms and his legs held in each of the claws as the beast stood on its hindlegs. Farber screams as the grip of the beast held onto him tightly and begins pulling him apart. The beast twists and quarters Farber as he scream into the face of the beast who stared him down. The beast opens its toothy maw and swallows the old man's head whole then clamps down to rip the head off. Not too clean of a bite, it instead rips out part of the man's spine before it eviscerates the limbs of its victim now a torso missing all the limbs and a missing spinal column on the back where it once was. The head and spine curls into the maw and you can hear the bones crunching, the bit of brain matter falling from its bony jaw and trickling blood its lip line coloring the foamy sea water. With the hands full, Grommer seizes the opportunity to full body tackle the beast!

The beast crashes into the water, Grommer hammering his fists into the skull of the Seawyrm with all due haste. The beast lets go of the limbs it held from before then grabs Grommer and tosses him over itself into the water. The beast rolls back onto its six appendages and circles around Grommer viewign him as the biggest threat than Karlya and Jibril. With the beast's back to Karlya, she unleashes a prepared lightning spell that furls around her arms then zaps the beast while it stood on the sandy beach. The brief shock from a short preparation spell cooks the skin of the creature's leathery hide and the tentacles turneds black from the first contact that also spins the creature around to face Karlya, agro-focused on the person whom hurt it the most. Jibril sees this priority shift in the creature's movements and tells Karlya to move!

The Seawyrm charges at Karlya, Jibril throws her off to the side following up with Jibril throwing off her coat as it weighed her down too much. Free of her wet cloths, Jibril springs into action and pulls out her knives and throws another blade at the beast. Her strength enhancement from Kane's "gift" really helped with the thrusting power of her throws as the blade embedded itself in the back of the beast's skull. However, the blade merely pierced the skull but not outright hindered it at all. Karlya kites the beast around while it lets out a battle cry that surely woke up the villagers within Helm's Deep.

Jibril hears whistling and shouting in the distance followed by a huge fire shot into the air: it was a signal flare! Apparently the Canaanites are on high alert and coming this way if the last time Jibril saw a flare was any indication. At least they're getting reinforcements this time. The Seawyrm, on the other hand, isn't going to make this encounter any easier on the three of them until the Canaanites get there.

Grommer rushes over and throws himself onto the back of the creatures as it chases Karlya around the beach. Karlya held up her sword while the beast was down and struggling to get up with Grommer holding it in place. She thrusts the sword into the beast's softer areas in its face then axing the top of its head multiple time but still only crack the bony skull plate! The Seawyrm projects its tongue as Karlya and struck her in the face. She recoils from the sucker punch. The beast's back moves and slaps Grommer in the face knocking him of it as it turns on its side and breaking his grip around its hip. Karlya runs around to the beast's underbelly and shoots another half prepared lightning spell at its exposed stomach thinking the slit with all the drooping tentacles were its guts. The slit opens up and down the length of the creature's body to open up and spits out the body of one of the villagers reducing the body thickness of the creature, making it thinner than before. Karlya recoils once more from the disgusting smell and look of the slime covered corpse of the dead villager which took her by surprise.

The beast is free and looks at Karlya and snarls at her then goes for her as it wants to beeline for the sea and a fresh prey within its line of sight. Grommer denies the beast its new prey by tackling it and hammering one of his fists into the throwing knife impaled eye of the beast. He hammers the blade deeper and deeper into the beast's skull while holding it beneath his arm in a headlock. The Seawyrm pushes into Grommer while he inflicts damage upon it and forcing him into the water. Groomer plunges his fist into the eye socket of the beast to remove the blade from it skull and goes to use it to pierce it in the chest. The Seawyrm pulls Groomer into the center of its mass and grabs him by the free hand while he plunges the knife towards its chest but is denied when one of the forearms in its midsection slaps it out of his hand. Grommer has it back on its hindlegs and he fight valiantly against it despite its many advantages.

What does Jibril want to do here? If she doesn't do something, those claws are going to gut Grommer open and kill him!

 

[sora21345]

"Karlya prepare another lightning spell am gonna go for it's legs and save grommer before that thing kills him." Jibril grab her other throwing daggers and rush towards back of the beast and slash both of its hind legs hoping it will help grommer push the beast off of him. She also stab at the beast back where karlya use her lightning spell, leaving it deeply in the wound knowing it would lure the lightning and deal extra damage while its still in the water.

 

[Grimoire]

Grommer is pinned against the beast, Jibril sees an opportunity to make a deeper impact by effectively using her throwing knives as conductive currents to roast the Seawyrm. With the beast facing towards the beach and back to the sea, Jibril must get behind it meaning she'll have to circle around the beast and be up to her knees in shallow water. Karlya tells Jibril she's only release her spell once Jibril is free otherwise she'll cook her friend alongside the beast. Jibril makes haste before any further delay will disembowel her tubby companion. Jibril circles around and avoiding the swinging arm of one of the Seawyrm's forearms slashing at Grommer's flank. Jibril slides around the hindleg and jams the first blade into the back of the kneecap of the left leg. The Seawyrm folds onto a knee while Grommer punches the thing in the jaw. Grommer groans loudly as the beast hit him in the stomach trying to grapple him, but slips off him due to his skin being slippery and wet. The first few strikes wound Grommer's belly, this is returned in kind with Grommer grabbing the eye socket of the beast and forcing his fist into it to make it buckle under its weight. Its terrible shrieking is deafening him as he hurts the beast tremendously while Jibril hurts it even more by throwing another to Grommer.

"Grommer! Hit it in the throat!" Jibril yells.

Grommer yanks out his fist lodged inside the beast's eye socket and reaches out for the knife. Jibril rushes to jump up to give it to him versus throwing it to him. She is slapped away behind the Seawyrm when she got too close but still managing to give him the blade. Gritting his teeth and yelling Grommer forces the knife into the Seawyrm neck and cutting downward spilling the green blood it had. He keeps stabbing it, now its beginning to get desperate as it claws at Grommer's stomach instead of grabbing onto him. Jibril hurries as blood from both of them spills into the water! Jibril throw another knife into the back of the beast then stabs the last one into the other hindleg forcing the beast to crumble on itself falling backwards into the water with Grommer letting go of the beast.

Jibril, however, is too far from the the others and the knockback of the beast falling forces her to fall back with the waves splashing against her as the beast fall towards her. Jibril hurries to her feet while the beast is down and shouts as she manages to get her footing to run into a full sprint.

"Go! Go! Go! Run!" Jibril shouts as Grommer who slowly rushes away from the water. Looking back the Seawyrm flailing about in incredible pain and shock that it doesn't want to die here and lashes out anything it can get its claws on.

Jibril and Grommer reach the beachhead and take a breather while Karlya is fully enveloped in a shield of lightning shocking the ground and turning the sand into glass from the sheer terrible power. Spiral shapes of glass form while Karlya is in a glowing-eye trance weaving her lightning spell waiting for the moment the beast was in reach. Jibril shouts at Karlya: "NOW!"

Karlya unleashes all of her built-up mana and fires it at the Seawyrm in a split second Jibril shouts the order. The daggers in sight glowed bright red at the pommels of each and the electricity conducting rippled and chain linked to form a netting of arcing light that sears the beast's skin. The burbling and gurgling shrieks of the Seawyrm were so loud, that seawater rippled from the shockwave. The lightning spell started bubbling the seawater as well as evaporating the water on the creature's skin boiling it alive. The smoking fumes smell of burnt hair and plastic, the rows of teeth in the creature's mouth popped like firecrackers and the beasts was silent as the spell continues to work even after Karlya finished unleashing it. She exited her trance minutes ago and the lightning strike still circulate around the beast until the zapping fades and the spark of a few stray electrical pops flickered.
The Seawyrm lies dead.

Grommer is alive, but the severity of his wounds could be fatal if not attended too. None of them have the medicine nor the healing magic to help him for the moment. Grommer collapses on his bum and holds his side with both hand covering the gashes of his wounds which were deep. Three claw marks going from his back to the navel another on the opposite side. The man was exhausted and reasonably so given how courageous he was fighting it off like he did. Fortunate that Jibril intervened as quickly as she did, he would have perished and the fight would have played out exceedingly differently.

 

[sora21345]

Jibril yells out a victory yell into the sky." Weeeeeeeeeee diiiiiiiiiid iiiiiiiiiiit." Jibril falls on her back from her fight even know she didn't receive any life threatening wounds from it, it stills feel like she was fighting it with all her strength letting out some heavy breathing." Karlya come over here and snuggle with me am starting to get cold from being push into the sea water and we need to bring it's corpse back to the village and show it to the two tribes and help grommer out whew just saying that out seem soooo much of a pain uuuuuugh." Jibril start to stand up and continue her mission that was given to her hoping to get the village to work together.

 

[Grimoire]

Jibril collapses on the beach and felt the heat of the lightning spell and the blown glass warped from Karlya take shape where she stood. Karlya removes her cloak and a knife, walks over to Grommer and helps bandage him up the best she can. Cauterizing his big gashes with a hot blade might keep his wounds closed for now, he'll need some better care elsewhere. Once done, Karlya plants herself beside Jibril and props her head on her shoulder letting out a heavy sign.

"What a messed up day this has been" She groans.
"You okay?" Jibril asks while still riding high on the adrenaline rush.
"Yeah, my head hurts very time I cast spells. I don't do it that often." Karlya coos, she's exhausted.

Matter of fact, both of them are. Once the adrenaline rush fades, Jibril begins to feel sick and very sleepy. The two of them cuddled in her warmth as they listened to the sea shift and waves crashing upon the water. Seagulls just make the scenery tranquil enough for Jibril to see the appeal of going to a beach.
Then, as she barely closes her eyes, BANG!

Karlya and Jibril sprung to their feet as the Canaanites were there at the edge of the beach head looking down at the shoreline of the beast resting in the water. Jibril looks around and sees the entire village crowding as the Militiamen AND the Marines arrived wearing even more armor than before. The red lensed gas masks with hoses feeding from the mouth into the oxygen tanks they carry look completely alien to the locals and even to our protagonists. Greza held her shotgun up with gun smoke fuming from the barrel, she was the one who shot the round to silence the enraged crowd.

"Who are they?!" Karlya asked.
"My guess? Kane's minions" Jibril answers.

Just as she says that, who would show up? Kane himself.

But this time, Kane is in a different form than before, the thin red demon is very slimming and bear footed as his elongated legs shifted in place as if to approach. He stands in an olive colored military fatigues with a large trench coat bigger than he is, brandishing a very particularly large gun in one hand looking at the beast with exceeding interest that his jaw drops slightly in curiosity. When Kane begins his approach, the gun he carried was a pneumatic action firearm in which the gun must be chambered with a single round with each use then slide back into position then the locking mechanism clicks when it is loaded. The small intricate pieces that allow this pneumatic gun to work are extraordinary complex but are none the less intimidating when it extends itself when reloaded.

Kane approaches Jibril and Karlya with a glint in his crimson eye.

"Well well well, looks like you two have been having some fun!" Kane chuckled, he held up his new gun to show off. "I came all the way here to try this out ... "
He looks over at the Seawyrm and shakes his head in disappointment.
"An clue as to what this is?" He asks them.
"Seawyrm ... Mr. Scarletta" Karlya says very much intimidated when speaking so formally.

After all, he is going out of his way to help them in their trial, lest both she and Jibril forget.

"A Seawyrm" Kane spoke repeatedly, as if to recall, then he does very quickly. "Seawyrm. Amphibious aquatic creature. Normally they would have larger plated skin, this one looks dead from the looks of it - well - even more dead before you two finished it off."

Kane turns to Karlya handing her his gun.

"Mind holding this for me? Thank you" Kane says releasing his grip on the large gun.

Karlya drops to the ground with how heavy it was taking her by surprise. Kane removes his trench coat and throws it around Jibril and rubs her arms to warm her up a little bit. He now has his olive fatigues on and the olive t-shirt he wears is covered in soot, or dirt, or whatever grime to give it a darker shade. He turns his attention back to the Seawyrm with eager anticipation.

 

[sora21345]

Jibril walk over to grommer and help him get up from the ground and look for a professional healer that could patch up grommer more serious wounds." Hey karlya am gonna find a healer for grommer you want to come with while we wait for kane to finish whatever he gonna do to that seawyrm. Better doing something than doing nothing at all." Jibril wait for karlya reply if she say yes the three of them will leave if not then it would only be just the two.

 

[Grimoire]

Karlya looks to Jibril then to Kane.

"Grommer should be fine, most of his wounds were closed." Karlya answers.
"Quick thinking"

Karlya jerks herself when Kane reappears beside her without making a sound, startling her. Kane approaches Grommer, Grommer moans in agony as he holds his cauterized wounds. Kane examines Grommer's injuries.

"Don't worry, I'm a doctor." Kane assures Grommer.
His bedside manner kicks in as Grommer, being the silent giant, allows Kane to examine him. Kane pulls off the banadages Karlya made using her cloak.
"Luckily this was just minutes ago, otherwise you'd be dead. Your anterior cecal arties and sigmoid artery has been severed, your right side is minor cutting than your left. Arms up, please."

Kane pulls out a flask in his back pocket the covers his hands with it, washing and sanitizing them. He hands the flask to Grommer.

"You're gonna want a swig, this is going to hurt. I'll make it quick" Kane warns Grommer.

Kane looks at Grommer's left flank and uses his talon to cut into patch of cauterized skin to further examine the wound. He signs then tells Grommer to tilt to the side while he gets better lighting. Grommer does so as he quivers in pain. Kane pluck quills from his head then grits his teeth hard as it causes him some measure of pain. Kane acupunctures the quills into Grommer's side which spurs loud grunting each time he does followed by a long drawn out sigh of relief.

"What did you just do?" Karlya said kneeling to see Grommer shutting his eyes.
"Paralytic Anesthesia" Kane says wiping the blue blood around Grommer's stomach with the torn cloak bandages. "It's like Red Sand, only stronger and more potent."
"You just - grow hair that makes that stuff?" Karlya says while observing Kane's examination hoping to learn something new.
"My quills are hollow on the inside much like my teeth. I secrete venom that melts bones of my prey while my quills are very strong venom meant to paralyze predators. Over time, I've learned my quills are natural painkillers. I'm immune to its effect obviously but to someone in a lot of pain, it's very useful and convenient. Your, companion, should be able to move in a couple of hours. He doesn't feel anything but don't expect him to move anytime soon."
"We've just met" Karlya answered looking to Jibril.
"Miss Holostein-" Kane spoke but is interrupted by Karlya.
"Holo" She interjects.
"... Holo" Kane corrects himself, "You should take your friend Jibril back to the Rose while we clean up things here."
"But we were just-" Jibril interrupts.

Kane raised his hand halting her objection.

"I know. This place is in dire need of law and order but this isn't the time nor your place. Captain Zeroni will assign someone to investigate the kidnappings and the why of things. You two are needed elsewhere, since the crisis has been averted and a waste of my time - I'm needed elsewhere as well."
"We saw the flare" Jibril answered.
"A panicking volunteer one his first day on the brigade" Kane sighs, "The council is going to be pissed with me. GREZA!"

Kane calls over Greza and begins scolding her before Jibril and the rest of the township in full view. A few members of the Church of Artemis cuddled Grommer and began to move him together to a safer place of rest. It seems now Jibril and Karlya are free of their obligations to Helm's Deep - for now.
All that's left for them is to catch a ride with Dizzy back to the Scarlet Rose and call it a day. Does Jibril want to do anything before returning to Dizzy's freight wagon?

 

[sora21345]

Jibril talk with karlya along the way to dizzy freight wagon, talking about how long of a day this was and how both of them almost died twice." Gods I can't believe we almost got killed again (snickers) i guess this wasn't the best rescue plan huh karlya." Jibril soon sigh on this very long arduous journey," now I just need to find jimmy to finish the long run of chasing but before that happens you don't mind if I bring in my son sim'one for my wife training do you am sure my cute adorable step son can learn a thing or two from you karlya."

 

[Grimoire]

Jibril and Karlya pick themselves up and begin to move. Jibril is very weak from her severed tail missing in the previous escape and completely worn out beyond exhaustion. Seeping cold of the township's weather isn't helping, she needs to find warm shelter and dry clothes soon. Karlya picks up the load of them walking towards the wagon at the entrance to the town. Along the way walks up beside them and helps carry Jibril on the opposing side.

"Here we go" Dizzy says in his gruff accent, "I got ya"

Karlya lets go and let's Dizzy handle the heavy lifting for the time being.

"Thanks Dizzy" Karlya says with an exhausted sigh.
"Coulda been worse had we not found you two." Dizzy says holding Jibril firmly walking up the paved walkway.
"Gods, I can't believe we almost got killed again" Jibril snickers, grunts when he wound stings. "I guess this wasn't the best rescue plan I've had, huh, Karlya?"
"Not the best but you did save me, thanks by the way" Karlya answered, "That makes us even for me pulling you out of the water ... and killing the Seawyrm."
"Now I just need to find jimmy to finish the long run of chasing down everyone" Jibril comments under her breath to herself.
"Why? Nobody knows he's in Scarlet Rose except Kane and the 'doc-tors'."
"Not exactly" Jibril answers letting a groan.
"What do you mean?" Karlya asked.
"He's also being tried with us, not sure if that means what i think that means. I don't know anymore." Jibril replied, completely unsure what to do.

They've reached the wagon. Dizzy helps Jibril into the back of the empty wagon and Karlya climbs into the back and slides Jibril along the railing and sits beside her while Dizzy closes up the tailgate and locks it up. He bangs on the back and yells to the girls.

"We'll be heading back soon, ladies, better hold on to something, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!"

Dizzy laughs, grunting as he jumps into the driver seat of the wagon. With a clicking and a whipping of his leash, the horses pulled the wagon and shook the wagon as they depart for the Scarlet Rose. Jibril lies into Karlya's lap and sighs trying to rest while she has a chance, Karlya does the same until they get back to the city. Jibril dozes but her thoughts were focused elsewhere.

"You don't mind if I bring in my son, Sim'one for my training do you? I'm sure my cute adorable step son can learn a thing or two from you." She says lowly.
"Um-hm" Karlya moans with her eyes shut, drifting into her sleep.
"I'll remember you said that" Jibril laughs internally to herself.

The two sleep for an hour before waking up in the caravansary where Jibril first met Dizzy. Dizzy waters the horses and ties up the wagon into a corral space. Walking around, Dizzy unlocks the wagon tailgate and shakes Karlya's leg to bring her awake and she then wakes Jibril up. The two of them spring to life and groan getting up and stretching their arms and legs before crawling slowly out the back of the wagon and dropping to the ground feet first onto cobblestone. Dizzy locks up and tips his strawhat to the both of them.

"Stay out of trouble you two" Dizzy smiles before walking away.

What's Jibril and Karlya's next move? Seek out medical attention? Find Jimmy? Getting clean and dry cloths back at the Hotel? Or something else?

 

[sora21345]

"Welp am off to find jimmy if you need medical attention i suggest you go to the doctor karlya if not just go back to the hotel and be prepare for the trial. I also might get some medical help from an expert to check on my wounds as well." jibril hug karlya one last time and head off to her destination to where jimmy is staying at, she thinks to herself hoping everything would be smooth sailing and not as dangerous day.

 

[Grimoire]

"Welp, I'm off to find jimmy. if you need a doctor, I suggest you go to the doctor as well, if not, just go back to the hotel and be prepare for the trial. I need to get some for my ... tail" Jibril hug Karlya one last time and head off to her destination.

Karlya hurries up and slows down to walk alongside Jibril as she limps her way towards the Scarlet District.

"Oh no. I'm coming with you, you're in no shape to be on your own. Besides, I haven't seen Jimmy in awhile neither" Karlya answers.
"Fine by me, I could use the company." Jibril smiles to herself.

The two walk through the Scarlet District and passing through the crowded streets and witnessing the whores and gigolos' showcasing their services in damp alleyways and dancing in the parlors along the strip of shops and saloons. Karlya scoffs at the dingy scenes and the oddly crowded street.

"Kinda feels like home" She says under her breath.
"You're telling me" Jibril answers, who then leads them to the Golden Laurel southern district.

Passing through the Militiaman checkpoint leading into the Golden Laurel, they've checked Jibril and Karlya for weapons. Pulled to the side for a frisking, the militiamen used their Seer Stones to contact the military and check information on them. Officer Oman could be heard within ear shot of Jibril, who confirms Jibril and Karlya's status of citizenship. Jibril winks at Karlya as the Militiamen returned their weapons and checked them through the checkpoint posthaste tipping their heads to the both of them, returning to their security checking of the other citizens and tourists entering and leaving the district. Karlya looks back before leaning into Jibril at a whisper as they pass through the food courts and shopping district of the Golden Laurel as well as the Green Dragon Hotel, where they stay.

"A lot more security and checkpoints than before. Did they hire more soldiers than before?" Karlya asked.
"Something tells me things are getting rougher. I didn't see this many militia before i left, something is wrong" Jibril answers her, "We better make ourselves scarce and lie low for a while. We're not exactly welcomed here given our trial, I don't want our business back in Heifong being dragged out here to the Republic."
"Good idea. You think we should stay here? We could grab the boys and Jimmy and scram while we're unshackled and free." Karlya answered.

What does Jibril think they should do?

 

[sora21345]

" Lets not do anything rash yet, we don't know the full story thats going on here so say lets get a doctor to check our wounds and then jibril whisper to karlya we look for jimmy knowing him am sure he might have screwed someone before the heifong mess." both girls went to the receptionist to ask for a healer to patch both of them up as they are both new to this hospital place ." Excuse me mam me and my friend here would like to meet the healer for our wounds."

 

[Grimoire]

"Let's not do anything rash yet, we don't know the full story that's going on here so lets get a doctor to check our wounds first." Jibril replies.
Karlya gestures.
"Lead the way" Karlya answers, "I don't know my way around this place yet."

Walking pass the front entrance of the Green Dragon Hotel, following the flow of foot traffic Jibril takes a shortcut through the alleyway behind the Hotel, where she and Kak'lin training his parkour skill. Knowing it is a safe route to the northern part of the Golden Laurel, they press on towards First New Canaan Memorial Hospital which was a stone's throw away from the town square. The two of them pass through the flow of traffic and arrived at the entrance of the heavy double doors leading into the hospital. Entering, Jibril and Karlya approach the receptionist's desk, the receptionist notices Jibril and recognizes her from before at her last visit.

Jibril whisper to Karlya: "We look for jimmy, knowing him am sure he might have screwed someone before the Heifong mess."
Karlya: "Better check yourself out first before then. Your, uh, tail is starting to look bad."
Receptionist: "Hello, ma'am, welcome back! Are you here to see your friend?"
Jibril: "Not yet. I'm here to see a doctor about my missing tail"
Receptionist lean over and sees Jibril's missing tail.
Receptionist: "That looks infected. I'll call a doctor to see you."
Karlya: "So what do we need to do?"
Receptionist: "If you two would go down that hallway through the doors, there's a waiting area. A doctor will be in shortly to see the both of you. However ..."

She reaches down and pulls out three sheets of paper and a clipboard and hands two of them to the both of them.

Receptionist: "I'll need your information to present to the doctor before he sees you."
Jibril: "Why? Don't we pay you?"
Receptionist: "Oh no, we do that after you're seen. Fill that out and we'll be right out to you, you can pay afterwards."
Karlya looks to Jibril then grabs the clipboard.
Karlya: "Weird"

The two take the boards and walk towards the waiting room down the hallway towards their left and enter through the doors to a partitioned area. The waiting room is filled to the brim of many many sick or dying patients, some of whom may be dead while sitting upright in the wooden chairs and benches sprawling the open room. Blood coat the floors and the sound of coughing and crying can be heard throughout the room, children and kids running about. The place is surprisingly crowded as Karlya and Jibril find a spot along the wall to start filling out the three sheets of paper and the strange pencils attached to the clipboards by a string. The two of you read the three common languages (Koine, Leyfon, and English) for the blocks of information demanding your names, addresses and personal information. Karlya looks to Jibril for answers.

"What the hells is this?" Karlya says aloud, "Why do they need this stuff?"
"I have no idea" Jibril tells her, taking the pencil and writing down.
"Most of these people look like they're at Death's door already" Kalya says filling out whatever she can on the paper before holding it on her side, apparently, finished.
"They had a coup recently, they must be waiting for help as well. Draco and Shimbala were in Heifong for them"
"Oh! So that's why ... shit, couldn't have comes sooner when they did" Karlya jokes.

She looks closely at one man who has gone limp in his chair and sees blood draining out of his mouth.

"Is ... is he dead?" Karlya says, Jibril looks up and sees whom she was referring to.
"That's ... bad" Jibril answers.
"Where the hell are the doctors?" Karlya states.

Jibril strikes her paper then grabs Karlya's clipboard and rushes towards a window near the door they came from and leaves it with the receptionists sitting there. They nodded to knowledge the clipboards and resumed their work while Jibril storms off. This place looks and feels like a hell reserved for the damned upon first inspection. Jibril returns to standing along the wall and felt a creep of the cold chill run up her spine.

"Place gives me the creeps, like the tenements" Jibril tells her.
"You mean back in Heifong?" Karlya confirms.
Jibril nods.
"You're being paranoid. We're safe here, we'll be out of here soon." Karlya says, now concerned showing on her face.

They wait.

 

[sora21345]

While waiting for the doctor to check up on her jibril start chatting up with karlya. "So hows your daughter been doing everything been going alight with you guys wanted to know if you did anything while you were town, have you made any knew friends here." jibril waited for karlya to reply her question while slowly she soon start to feel the pain from her tail aching up on her.

 

[Grimoire]

And they wait

For fucksa-!

A doctor bursts through the room with two others and a wheelchair made of wood. With much haste, Jibril is rushed out of the waiting room and Karlya is hurried out of the room with the two other doctors grabbing hold of her arms! The doctor wheeling Jibril out of the room is rushing very quickly, a nurse rushes beside him as they rode and dragged through the long corridor pass the receptionist as if Karlya and Jibril were in critical condition and on the verge of death. The nurse strings along an IV bag of saline with a tube running the medicine down to a siphon that feeds into a needle, the nurse checks for a vein as she walks in a fast pace and finds one on Jibril in her inner arm where there weren't as many scales to search through. Pricking Jibril a few times before getting the needle in, Jibril hisses before the nurse backs off and the doctor send her on her way. Karlya is kicking and screaming at the other doctors to release her.

They enter a doctor's office and the two separate into those rooms to be examined. Jibril is isolated in the room with the doctor who wheeled her in. Jibril is concerned with the sudden urgency. The doctor slides into his chair holding up Jibril's clipboard and reads out her personal info before tossing it into a cubby hole filled with other clipboards stuffed to the brim. The room smells of hot smoke and cigarettes' crowd an ashtray on the desk, the doctor has blood on his lab coat and looking over his notes before stifling a sniff before rolling his chair towards her wheelchair. The doctor is oddly familiar, he wears glasses, hair is pulled back into a ponytail and he's oddly tall .... .... wait a minute ...

Jibril: "Kane?"
Kane: "Yeeeeep. Say ah!"

Kane holds up a flat stick towards Jibril's mouth.

 

[sora21345]

"Do you even know what your doing or even have any medical experience for this type of thing at all, also why are you even here shouldn't you be getting ready for the trial." Jibril shocked in seeing kane kept questioning him and his weird appearance in this place.

 

[Grimoire]

Kane drops the hand holding the stick, then sighs deeply. He takes off the glasses, he looks way more worn out than she does with bags under his eyes.

"Who do you think is running this hospital?" Kane answers, "The other Kane handles the trials, I run the hospital."
"The hell?" Jibril says out loud.
"It didn't occur to you Mellow and Sanguine taking on my appearance was strange? I'm a copy of the original Kane." Dr. Kane answers.
"So ... the one we met on the beach was-"
"Another Kane" Dr. Kane replied nodding his head.
"You're messing with my mind" Jibril states.
"Not yet, I'm not." Kane says lowly, "Can we get through this, I've got another hundred patients dying on my watch. I've got ten minutes"

Kane reaches over to his desk and twists the head on a device called an "egg timer" and sets it to 10 minutes, it begins ticking away. Kane turns back and raised his hand, Jibril opens her mouth, Kane examine her tonsils.

"Well ... I assumed you had tonsils, I guess reptilians on this world don't work the way I assumed." Kane pulls open a drawer and pulls out a flashlight and shines it into her mouth to examine deeper. "Oh wait, there they are ... i count 10, maybe more."

Kane retracts and then tosses the stick over his shoulder, Jibril watched as it lands in a trash bin behind him with accuracy. He leans in closer and stares her directly in the eyes. He moves his finger in front, she followed his instructions by following it. Kane sits back down, he makes a few drops on a notebook then rolls back over to her.

Kane: "Remember those papers I gave you?"
Jibril: "Yeah?"
Kane: "Those were consent forms so we don't have to be more invasive about this whole process we're about to do"
Jibril: "How invasive?"
Kane: "Gonna need you to strip down to your naked self"

Does Jibril consent to the examination and treatment?

 

[sora21345]

"This better help with the check up and not some weird fetish you got when working here." Jibril strip down for the doctor to get a better examination, she then realize that karlya is here as well." hey doc a heads if you see karlya tell her am doing find am a little worried she might do something violent in this place." finish talking jibril waited for the doctor to do his thing.

 

[Grimoire]

Kane realized Jibril's companion did go into the next room. He stops the egg timer.

"I'll go check up on her while you strip down," Kane informs her, he drops the timer before storming out the room with the dooring closing behind him.

Jibril removes her wet clothes and drops them on the ground and removes her purple sash and drops her pants to the ground, kicking them into the chair. Removing her v-neck shirt and putting them with the clothes on the ground, she is now fully unclothed. Jibril felt her missing tail which is now a festering stump of brunt scales and flesh. Her poor tail!

BAM!! One of the doctors' heads breaks through the thin wall of the doctor's office, bursting the sheetrock, the dust from the debris spills into Jibril's room and the doctor is knocked out cold. Seems Karlya is not having a good time in the opposite room. Jibril, startled by the bleeding man hanging in the wall, she walks slowly towards the wall to check up on him. He's groaning but he's still alive. She listens in on the next room hearing Kane shout at Karlya then orders her to sit down and demanding her put down the chair she was holding. He tells her to sit down and calm down before she erupts into a tirade and acting very furious. Kane listens to Karlya before Jibril hears him snaps his fingers and Karlya is muffled silent abruptly followed by a door opening and closing. Kane enters the room to see Jibril standing there naked listening to next door.

"Sorry about that ..." Kane sees Jibril and then sees the doctor lodged into the wall.

Kane walks up to the man stuck in the wall and shove him back through, the two of them hear a out thud and Jibril looks through the hole to see Karlya wrapped up in tentacles and her mouth gagged by a thin tentacle keeping her quiet. Jibril turns back to Kane.

"Can we continue? She'll be fine, once I'm done here, I'll be handling her next." Kane assures her, "Lay down on the table."
"This better help with the check up and not some weird fetish you got when working here." Jibril scolds him.
"This part's gonna hurt, if i give you any painkiller, it might stop your heart. Better safe than sorry, we're gonna have to do this the old fashion way."
"That being?" Jibril says.

Kane takes a piece of wood and stick it into Jibril's mouth.

"Bite on that" Kane says and immediately washes his hands with soup and water from a sink.

Kane places a metal tray of soaking silver tools, scalpels and forceps. He plants a hand on Jibril's lower back. It's very cold.

"I'm going to start now. It's going to hurt but you'll have to tough it out until I'm done-"
"Hurry up!" Jibril shouts.
"Okie dokie" Kane begins.

Kane feels up the area around the stump where the tail used to be. Moves towards the spine and applies pressure up Jibril's back.

"You feel any pain anywhere up your back?"
"Lower back hurts"
"On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad? 1 being the no pain and 20 being close to death"
"Where you are, 7"
Kane applies pressure lower.
"Here?"
"8"
"Here?"
"8"
When lightly touches the lowest part where the tail arches up. Jibril loudly shout biting down on the wood and stifling her screaming.
"10!! 10!!"
Kane sighs then removes his hands.
"Well, good news is: Your lumber and sacrum parts of your spine aren't damaged, those would be your lower back and the part of your spine that supports your pelvis. Your coccyx is .... gone, and it's ... melted? What the fuck?"

Kane looks into the stump and digs his fingers into the flesh and bone to remove something. Jibril is writhing in extreme pain as Kane digs out bone fragments and dead skin and scales. If she had tear ducts, she'd be in tears with how badly this hurts. Kane fishes out burnt flesh and uses his scalpel to cut away the flesh, Jibril hammers her fist on the table and screams for Kane to stop. He stops immediately.

"I c-can't! I can't do this!!" Jibril panics.
Kane plants his hand on her back and holds her down.
"Heyheyheyhey. Shhhhh. Calm down." Kane tries to stop her from moving.
"DONT-TELL-ME-TO-CALM-DOWN!!!" Jibril screams

Kane drops the bloody scalpel into the alcohol soaked tray. He stands up and paces around a bit. Jibril is shrieking on top of her lungs at the table. Kane scramble around his drawers and searching around the office for something for him to use. He looks back at Jibril and she's not stopping anytime soon. Kane pulls out a vial of red powder and shakes it up then storms over to Jibril, whom is still agonizing over missing more of her body than before she walked in.

"I have Red Sand, if you take this, it might kill the pain without killing you." Kane shouts at her.
"Kane! I'm bleeding!" Jibril yells.
"Take the Red Sand or we stop here!" Kane yells back, "Your choice!"

 

[sora21345]

"Fucking hells fine." Jibril take some of the red powder and took the recommended dose to ease her pain." I'll right now lets get back to the problem and get this done already I don't want to get addicted to this stuff for pain reliever." jibril went back to the table or chair whatever this thing is called and let kane do the work hoping he could fix her tail problem and bring it back again. She also focused on not trying to faint and fantasize on killing the stupid mimic that ate her fucking tail killing it in a horrific ways to see it suffer.

 

[Grimoire]

Kane uncorks the vial and pulls out a saline bag from the glass cabinet. Filling the syringe with a few milligrams of Red Sand then diluting the solution with the powder to mix it then walks over to inject the Red Sand mixture into her then sitting down and wait for the medicine to kick in.

"It's going to take a minute for the Red Sand to kick in." Kane informs her. "Are you feeling anything?"
Jibril is eerily silent as she drones off into a long dragged out groan.
"Jibril?" Kane stands up and checks up on her by checking her pulse.
"I'm ... definitely ... feeling ... something" Jibril drones.
"Still in pain?" He asks.
"Starting ... to ... not?" She slurs.
Kane sighs in relief.
"Shit. Low heart rate, not quiet there yet, thankfully." Kane says to himself.
"This is strong" Jibril slurs.
"Considering this is the lowest possible dose, I'm surprised it's hitting you this hard this quickly." Kane says.
Jibril starts to rock her head from side to side slowly. Kane looks behind him and notices she's mimicking the ticking of the clock.
"Trancing. Hearing is good. Disorientation. Roughly 5 minutes since injection." Kane says, apparently to himself making notes.
Jibril, meanwhile is in a stupor while the pain is fading very quickly and hitting her body hard.
"Okay, we're going to try this again. Jibril ... fuck it" Kane says returning to where he left off.

Kane takes the scalpel into his hand then taps the end into the edge of the stump. No reaction. applying pressure on the scalpel to dig deeper to break the muscle tissue. Jibril begins humming to herself. Kane raise eyebrows at her strangely high pain tolerance while on Red Sand. He starts removing the dead flesh and quickly makes short work of what was there for him to remove. As he finishes, the area around Jibril's missing tail was pink and completely cleaned out of anything out of place. The bleeding is suppressed by multiple forceps clamping down the veins and capillaries allowing the the flow to be contained, stretching out the muscle tissues and examining the bone structure of the coccyx, the waste bin was filled with many towels and rags Kane used to clean up the bleeding and broken bits found. Kane stacks a few petri dishes on the moveable table where he keeps his tray which is now very messy and many more instruments were soaking than before he began. An hour passes by, Jibril has completely passed out. Kane finishes the rest of the surgery by closing up Jibril's wound with stitches and a few prosthetics followed by a layer of bandages to finish up.

Just as Kane finished wrapping Jibril up with bandage and dropping his tools into the separate container on his desk does she awake to the loud clanking. Jibril sits up and finds herself now fully conscious and no longer in complete pain, but now she can't feel anything around her pelvis or her fun parts. She looks up at Kane, who is resting in his chair lighting up another cigarette, looking back at her who is sitting up only to notice everything below the beltline is wrapped up ... like a crotch-less diaper. Seeing a mirror, Jibril approaches it to see what Kane has done to her. She turns and sees she has a smooth curved backside, missing the hump reserved for the arching of her tail that isn't there anymore. Matter of fact, her backside is more form function and human like shape.

"Well? How are you feeling?" Kane asks.

 

[sora21345]

"I don't know, i don't feel any pain so that a good thing i guess and here i thought you'll bring back my tail shame but i'm sure i can adapt to this." jibril looks back to kane, " so how was karlya treatment was she able to finish before me or is she still getting checked out, and how is jimmy holding up nothing happen to him while i was gone."

 

[Grimoire]

"When you lost your tail, I was caused for concern but you don't seem to be missing anything important. I didn't agree to grow it back for you, that's a different matter entirely. The great new is, you don't have: gangrene, frostbite, parasites, or the odd growth. Bad news, you don't have a tail and no sex" Kane answers, "Did a quick look at how your pregnancy, your eggs are fine except for a few duds. I took care of those so you don't have broken yoke and internal infection."

He sits the cigarette down in the ashtray and walks over to the petri dishes of scrapped out material that he kept on the side.

"These are what I've found inside of you" Kane picks up on of five petri dishes, "This is sulfuric acid. This has been eating away at your tailbone, that had to be removed. The parts that you no longer have won't affect your movement, thankfully. This one, this is burnt silk. At first I thought it was hair, but after looking at it closer ..."

Kane removes the few strands of black curls of a string, Kane drops then in the alcohol solution and then uses his scalpel to scrap the char off the string bundle then he shows Jibril a wet newly whitened string of undamaged silk. He drops the silk back into the petri dish. Third he shows a large black mass of tissue.

"This is called a tumor" Kane informs her.
"What does that mean?" jibril asked.
"Means your tail has been cancerous. Meaning you were going to lose the thing anyway sooner or later. This little thing keeps growing inside you, found it under the muscle tissue pressing up against your arteries at the base of your spine. If your veins get clogged up, your heart works hard to push the blood to your heart. That can cause your heart to stop, or worse, you can have a stroke, your brain shuts down and you begin losing function of your limbs. Any number of health problems from having an enlarged tumor."
"So ,,, what? I was going to die?" Jibril jokes.
Kane wasn't laughing.
"Oh ... it was bad." Jibril says, "Then what about those two?"
"These are the the eggs I had to pull, considering I haven't studied other reptilians like you and Tar'lak, I thought I'd take the opportunity to start somewhere. You don't have a use for unfertilized eggs, seemed like a waste to throw them away. Give me enough time, I'll probably find some more suitable medicine to use that fits your physiology better than a quick dose of Red Sand and a prayer next time."
"That's weird, Kane" Jibril answered.
"And that's why I had you sign the papers. It was part of the problems detrimental to your health and wellbeing, provided by the Government, I'm allowed to to remove said problems without any objections by the patient. Consent. So these two eggs are for studying only, also part of the agreement. But can we discuss the ... silk and acid"

Kane holds up the two petri dishes between his fingers.

"What happened down there?"

 

[sora21345]

"Weeeeeeeell I found out karlya went to the thieves guild to join up with them but to fully join she had to steal some stuff that was in their cellar which lead to a cavern, also there base was in a mountain so i had to hurry up and find her cause i was a little bit worried about her but it would take to long by leg so i search around the town and found a secret that would get me there faster but i almost froze do death since i had to swim in it, once i made it found some stone that light up to help me in the dark found a small passage saw a mimic throw some rocks at it i tried to attack it when it was eating the rocks didn't know it had more tentacles in its mouth and thats how i lost my tail also there was a drider in that cave as well any more question you wanna ask?"

 

[Grimoire]

Kane at a loss for words.: "Wow"
Jibril: "Yeah"
Kane: "All of that in a day?"
Jibril: "Yeah"
Kane: "And the Mimic was in the same cavern with a Drider?"
Jibril: "Yeah"
Kane: "So this is Drider Silk and Mimic Acid?"
Jibril: "Kane"
Kane: "I knew the guild was in Shadow Cove but, that? That's a serious problem."
Jibril: "Kaneeee"
Kane: "Shadow Cove needs to be investigated further" Kane says to himself, making a note in his notebook.
Jibril shouts: "KANE!"
Kane: "What? I'm standing right here!"
Jibril: "What happened to Jimmy and Karlya?"
Kane: "Holo is fine, a bit out of it but she's completely fine!"

Jibril is concerned by his silence.
"And Jimmy?" She asked him, unsure she's gonna like his answer.

Kane stretches his arms then scratches the back of his head before answering. Resigning to just showing Jibril instead of telling her, he gestures her to follow him down the hallway. At the end of the hallway is a large bulkhead secured with a dual keylock, this isn't a good sign. This looked like a vault door for valuables but this is a hospital, Jibril is suspicious and concerned. Kane used two keys to turn the locks on the sides of the doors and he flings the sliding doors open hearing the hefty weight of the metal slam against the concrete walls, these doors were eight inches thick, nothing should penetrate the bulkhead and yet it leads to a shaft going underground. This hospital has a secret underground facility? Kane and Jibril enter the inclinator and he closes the fence and turns on the engine that lowers them below ground. Kane lifts up his Seer Stone dangling around his neck, "Security Personnel to Quarantine Facility, secure and contain the entrances and exits. Security Level 1."

Jibril: "Kane? What the hell is this?"
Kane: "There was ... an incident"
Jibril: "What kind of 'Incident'?"
Kane: "Maruda, the Undead Goddess pulled a fast one on us. She's been secured beneath this hospital since Blackgate Prison was compromised. There was an outbreak of Undead from the prison, military was dispatched to clear out the prison. Nobody knows she's here, everything was in jeopardy of being exposed including Jimmy. Had to move him and Maruda down here in secret to contain the situation. But he's been getting worse since the last you saw him."
Jibril: "How bad?"

The inclinator stops at the lowest level it goes and the entire underground facility is one gigantic cube vault in a hollowed out cavern. Jibril looks at the big cube sitting in the middle of the cavern, the floors are layered in circles and magic seals surrounding the outskirts of the cube. There's a huge wall by the inclinator full of barrels of salt and gunpowder stored within a fence.

Kane: "We're about to enter the containment chamber, you might want to prepare yourself mentally for the worse."
Jibril: "Khazen. What do I need to do?"

Kane walks over to the fence, unlocks it then opens a barrel of salt then takes a fist full of salt and makes a circle around Jibril's feet. Kane steps back then take a knee and plants both hands on the ground.

Kane: "benedicite huic sanctificationi terrae"

The ground within the circle Jibril stands within glows red and the strong warmth overwhelms Jibril's senses and body glows strong with a radiance red aura, she looks at her hands and finds they glow with a thin layer of iridescent red sheet. She doesn't understand what's happening.

Kane: "You've been 'blessed' and can step out of the circle."

Jibril looks down to see the salt had been burned into char, she lightly steps over the circle and the glow she has disappears the moment she leaves the circle.

Kane: "Now we can enter the chamber."

Jibril follows Kane towards the containment unit and he starts unlocking the various locking mechanisms holding the layers of doorways in their path. They step further and further into the containment unit with each opened door, the corridor of doorways were drawn in ink of more magic seals and incantations meant for magical nullification and dispelling. By the way things are looking, this must be where Maruda is being held. Just as Jibril thinks this, a chill went up her spine as the final door opens, the magical aura and presence startles her with an unfathomable fear clouding her mind. Kane looks back to see Jibril petrified, he grabs her hand and pulls her forward almost dragging her.

Kane: "Don't worry, I'm right here. Nothing is going to hurt you."

Him telling her that is somewhat comforting but still this magical power is throwing up red flags in her head as the last door begins to unlock multiple gearhead locks at once before a loud hissing depressurizes the room.

The door opens.

In the center of the chamber is a large glass cube 15 feet in height and width covered in more magical seals and writing with the naked Undead corpse of the Goddess, Maruda simply sitting there in a room bigger than she is. To their right, Maruda's cube is shared with another cube of similar dimensions containing a room filled with bloodstained white tiled floors and Jimmy secured to an X shaped table angled upward with metal shackles engraved with magic spells still glowing hot as Jimmy flails about trying to break free.

Jimmy is no longer himself, just like the hulking brutes in Heifong, Jimmy has morphed into a similar and more deranged Undead monster twice his original size, his hands have grown bigger and heavily built torso. The muscles in his body have grown to the point the skin cannot contain their growth and tear open. Jibril is standing before the two monsters before her, dumbfounded.

 

[sora21345]

"Is there a wat to turn him back to normal or do we need to kill the god to make jimmy sane again?"

 

[Grimoire]

Kane Looks at Jimmy and approaches the containment chamber with Jibril beside him as he remarks on the situation. Pondering on Jibril's query, he doesn't speak until he comes up with a few idea.

"I've tried everything" Kane admits in defeat, "I've had entire universe worth of information engraved into my memory and with all of our technological advancements - I can't figureout how to fix him."

Kane turns towards Jibril.

"Jibril, I'm not sure I can fix him. I'm not an expert at killing gods or trying to bring the dead back to life. I've stripped Jimmy of all of his skin, organs and muscles, regrew it back every single time I've done something to cure him of his affliction. There's just no drugs, treatments or spell that can bring him back full without Maruda's influence corrupting him. Even at the genetic level, the building blocks of what makes a person who and what they are - nothing. I'm at a loss. He can't be resurrected as a mortal and yet he cannot die as one neither. The only thing I have left to try is reducing Jimmy and Maruda to nothing, wipe the sleet clean until there is nothing left. This means burning Jimmy's soul."

Jibril looks him in the eye.

"You're telling me to kill my friend and you're now telling he may not even get to see an afterlife?!" Jibril shouts.

Kane grabs his hands behind his back and hangs his head in shame. Of all his power and knowledge, he's given up. Kane admits defeat.
Jibril ...is beside herself.

"I need you to help me put an end to this" Kane comments.
"What you're asking me to do, I can't" Jibril tells him.
"Everything has gotten out of hand, I can't keep Maruda and Jimmy a secret anymore. Not this time. We need to purge Maruda."Kane informs her with urgency.
"Then you do it" Jibril says lowly.
"I can't" Kane replies, "You're the only one here that's blessed, I can't be blessed."
"What are you talking about?" Jibril groans.

Kane grabs Jibril's arm and forces her hand onto his human face. He holds it there until it begins to leave a burning white light of her handprint engraving itself onto his face. Kane grits his teeth, screaming as his human face is melting where her handprint remained, Kane bleeds but it's completely blackened from the Radiant holy magic mixing with the flame. Kane's head is engulfing in flame and his human face is dripping off his bony facial plates. Kane stiffles his screaming before his hands glowed a burning red magical aura and envelops a bubble of pure darkness he summons at will. He weaves the orb of darkness around his head like fitting a fish bowl helmet making him look funny but his screams stop entirely. When the spell he casts dispels, the orb of darkness vanishes and Kane revealed that his new handprint marked scar that was on his human face has also engraved a deep mark on his reptilian bone plated scales as well with perfect precision. Kane's partial face melting was disgusting wet. His entire right side of his face is just gone leaving behind the red bone plates that would form the convex features of Kane's human cheekbones. Those pieces of bone regrew very quickly as they start cackling and poking out of his face and the fragments burst out and land on the flor of the containment chamber. Then Kane starts peeling off his human face forming globs of dead flesh that decay into liquid and transparent gel like substance. He removes the side of his untouched scorched cheek flesh and cuts it deep enough then reveals the underside where it would have attached to bone. The skin that would be crimson red and pink with bone fragments are actually layering in a webbing of black veins and the tissue that would be muscle is just white silicone gel that would be confused for fatty cells. Kane's human skin is closer to a silicone gel skinsuit than his actual skin, but the material is very much organic, nothing about it was synthetic. And he produces it himself at will.
Jibril recoils in disgust but then realizes that she is capable of hurting Kane!

"Now do you see?" Kane says removing the human skin completely leaving behind only his hairline that forms his scalp.
"What the fuck Kane!" Jibril scream.
"You see what that did to me" Kane says to her, he then points to Maruda. "We're going to be doing the same to her and Jimmy"
"Oh fuck! No! Nononono!" Jibril rattles as she storms towards the exit from the containment chamber.

Jibril hears Kane snap his fingers. Jibril is close to the vault door when she sees Kane opening a portal beside it and him reappearing out of it to force the vault door closed and she watches in horror as the vault door is locking the deadbolts of the chamber and there is no escaping! She is locked into this containment chamber with Kane with no other way out. Kane stands between Jibril and the door.

"I can't let you leave here" Kane tells her.
"Kane ... Let me out" Jibril warns him.
"Kill me and you'll never see the light of day" Kane informs her, "I'm the only one that can get you out of here. Once that door closes, there is no opening it back up from the inside. The hospital is locked down, security won't answer my Seer Stone no matter how much I plead, nobody enters this place. There is no escape."
"You're insane!" Jibril yells at him.

"I Am Not Leaving Here Until I Kill God!​

 

[sora21345]

Angrily staring at kane and thinking this through she know the only way out of this it to put them both out of their misery, jibril breaths in and out to calm herself and answer kane request." Fine then how do i put down maruda without getting myself killed by her or becoming undead you whackjob." jibril point to maruda and then to jimmy telling him that she doesn't want to die or turn into a mindless undead like jimmy and miss out on her family.

 

[Grimoire]

Kane takes a deep breath then exhales through his reptilian teeth which have just regrown lips and the skin on his face regenerating a thin layer of human skin as he storms towards the center of the room where the giant transmutation circle envelops the floor around the containment chamber connected by the other seals and incantations leading to Jimmy's cell. Jibril is still fuming mad as she follows Kane towards the circle he stepped into. He crouches down to a white tile panel then removes the false bottom, reaches in then the center of the floor unfurls. Around them are twelve stone podiums with rune carved tablets engraved and the second layer of tablets that form the outer ring of the circle all powering up with a plethora of magical auras and the entire room starts glowing an ominous radiance of red and blue pulsing that makes both Jibril and Kane's noses bleed with a heavy pressure causing their heads to ache with serious migraines.

Kane storms to each of the podiums with the runic tablets and presses into them in a sequence that turns the podiums into pillars of light piercing the ceiling of the chamber. Jibril storms towards him and watches him input the tablets like keys to a keyboard, but each podium is different in their inputs. Jibril, however, is memorizing the sequence and sees that each one he inputs creates a letter spelling out a word just before the podiums activate a circle in other parts of the room ten lastly forming a pillar of light. Jibril recognizes that Kane is using Dwarven Runes and therefore, by process of elimination, coming to the conclusion that he is using Dwarvish alphabet to form words to activate the podiums and the arrangement of the podiums around them would spell out a sentence of incantation.

Runes are powerful enough on their own with the use of a single letter. A Warding spell with the Dwarvish letter of R'oh is strong enough to form an impenetrable barrier of warding to stop Wraiths and Specters. The equivalent of a stick of dynamite in terms of magical potency. Forming a full word of Runic Glyphs has the power to create a bundle of dynamite with ten times the potency. Kane is attempting to do twelve of these podiums to set off a nuclear level event of potent magical energy.

Jibril knowledges this scares her beyond comprehension, all in the efforts of attempting to kill - A Goddess of the Undead. Could such a powerful event happen? Will it be enough to kill her? If it is strong enough to kill her, will Kane be destroyed as well? He's willing to sacrifice himself in order to prove his theories in a suicidal attempt to find a way to kill a god and Jibril is stuck in the middle of his plans.

Jibril stops Kane.

"Will this kill me?" Jibril asks.
"We are on the verge of a discovery that will change everything. For you. For me. For everyone" Kane explains.

He finishes his fourth podium and quickly wastes no time doing another. Jibril hastens to watch his next sequence.

"You will bear witness to this moment, seeing that THEY can also be made flesh and blood! That WE mortals can make them flesh and blood! If they can bleed like us, they can fear us, and we can kill them." Kane manically laughs.
Kane stops mid-typing as the realization comes to him.

"This may be the last chance you and I will ever speak" Kane smiles as he laughs at the thought, "Ever. Maybe I can finally die in peace this time."
"What about me, you fuck!" Jibril shouts before curling her fist and punches him squarely in the face, toppling him over.
Jibril has the supernatural strength Kane gifted her as well as the Blessing he placed upon her. Jibril remembered and she climbs on top of him and vents out her rage by viciously beating him. Grabbing him by the collar of his lab coat, Jibril breaks his jaw with her second punch then shouts at him with each consecutive flurry of jabs.

"I! Am! Not! Dying! Here!" Jibril grunts with each landing.

Kane laughs as he spits out blood and laughing.

"You can't die. You. Must live!" Kane answers with his face burning again from the Radiant damage of the blessing.

Jibril stops breathing heavily after caving Kane's face in before regenerating his bone structure and the pulpy mess bursts as the new bone shed the old and the muscles begin to regrow to cover the bones of his skull then his face reshapes to his original. Jibril looks around her and sees Kane's fangs and teeth scattered around him along with his blood which is boiling on the floors around them. Kane simply accept her rage and anger. When he was able to speak in her moment of pause, he whispered.

"No Gods. No Kings. Only Man. Only we mortal men - will be the inheritors of our own reality. Freedom of everything. No one to oppress us. If it means you and I die in our quest to end this cycle of violence and heartbreak, it's worth it!"
"I don't care about your philosophies, Kane! We are here, amongst people, real people! I just want to go back and live a normal life! I'm done playing your fucking games!"
"You don't have a choice!" Kane shouts.

He throws Jibril off him and she flew ten feet to the opposing side of the room with his blood smearing across the ground using her body as the brush stroke. Kane rolls onto his hands and knees the coughs up his own blood and spits out his teeth on the ground as new sets grow back. His face finally regenerates back to normal and he wipes his face off with his lab coat before throwing it to the ground. Kane starts slowly walking towards Jibril.

"You are God Touched, Madressa" Kane announces to her, "You think you're just lucky? All of this was preordained by whatever God deemed you worthy of saving!"

Jibril rolls onto a knee and climbs back up, sneering at him.

"You know nothing about me!" She yells.
\"I've been inside your head, I know more than you think" Kane chuckles, "Mothering two fathers' children? One of them is your stepson. Lucky young man!"

Jibril is silent.

"Oh yes, I know about that. I also know your scheme about killing me to free yourself after I saved you from her" Kane aims his ire at Maruda, who is giddy with glee at the two of them fighting each other.

"You asked me if everything about your dream was ever real. I didn't have an answer for you - I lied!" Kane confesses, "Maruda had nothing to do with it. She's been working on regaining her strength before Marlow ever infused his magic into her relic. She couldn't have even if she had! Which tells me that someone or something happened that gave you clairvoyance because you escaped! I needed the relic and i needed that power to figure this out, only way I could was convince you to bring it to me without breaking it."

"You son of a bitch!" Jibril yells, charging at him.

Kane reaches out his hand and from range, Jibril collapse onto her knees and skids across the ground as her knees buckled and ache from cramping. Kane rolls his fingers with his hand out, stretches toward her. Jibril looks at her belly and sees the eggs inside her moving around, growing.

"I have the power over life and death, doesn't it seem unfair to you? With all the gifts I've given you, yet you're powerless to stop me." Kane monologues, "And everything you did was planned, orchestrated by another God to fulfill their sick plan. A puppet in their game. You could have had a normal life but you left it behind to save your friends back home in the desert. You came all the way to Shurifon then to the Daedran's Wrath in my city. what big plans did God have for you, I wonder? You were never in control of your life until I came along and spared your boyfriend and his children."

Kane stands over Jibril. Jibril clawing at the ground as the eggs within her grow and grow and grow bigger until she was fit to burst.

"No one should ever have this kind of power over you. I gave you a choice to take your life into your hands, a chance to kill a god who can snatch everything from you in the blink of an eye. She wants to destroy everything you know and love, I want to leave this place and go back to where I came from. I have no quarrel with you and your family! No reason to meddle in your life except those resurrection stones."

Kane plants his hand on Jibril's belly and calms the stirring before reducing the size of the eggs to their tolerable state. Kane looks down on her showing his true colors.

"I am a mortal first and a god last. I never asked for this, neither did you. But we are here now. Up to this point, I have given every choice to make your own decisions."

Kane reaches out his hand as gesture of faith to help her up.

"And now, I'm prepared to give you more"

Jibril slaps his hand away and helps herself up.

"What are you on about?" Jibril asked.
"Maruda cursed Jimmy. I brought Jimmy back to life. I interfered with your life and caused you great pain and misery. I am by definition a God, myself. The hypocrisy of this dilemma is that a God killing a God is only proving no mortal hands will ever touch their immortal life. Maruda still is capable of stopping us despite her containment, I don't care if this kills me or not. Either way you slice it, I benefit from this experiment. I die, I'm no longer relevant and neither will she. I survive, I will walk away from this with the knowledge that I can kill a God and begin preparing for the day I can get my revenge against my maker and die in my own reality. You go back to your life free of both our influence and ..."

Kane stretches out his arms and gestures the entire containment chamber.

"This place as my gift to this reality as the living and breathing proof of concept that Gods can be killed. A weapon to put the fear of gods into the hands of mortal men."

He points to Jibril.

"I have every reason to keep you alive, Jibril, you're my ticket to my grand plan."

Kane returns to the podiums and inputs the keys to activate his grandiose plan of action. Jibril shuffles towards the center of the circle. It took Kane awhile but he is ready and the false bottom where he first activated the podium emerges a large podium but it is, in fact, a stone terminal with ring wheels and an input keyboard. The centerpiece of the ring wheel are incantations in segments in seven sets of moveable inner ring tiles like a puzzle. Kane steps back and presents the terminal to Jibril and makes gestures to indicate what she should do.

"The moment of truth is at hand. I will ensure Maruda doesn't escape her prison, you activate the countermeasures and hope this fucking thing works - for both our sakes." Kane answers with so finality to it.

Kane snaps his fingers, his clothes vanish. The spinal section of his back spawns spikes before the scar up and down his back tears open and a pitch black void forms from the oozing black blood festering out of it. From the portal in his back, spawns a swarm of slithering demonic serpents with metallic scales and cluttering eyes glowing a deep crimson hue. Unfurling their scales turning into spikes and dragonskin-like plating rising, they shriek and wail with harrowing and hollow tones as they surf the room stretching out of the void. More tentacle spawn but taking on a centipedal shape with jagged pinchers and teeth lining the edges of their lower membranes. Kane turns his back to Maruda and exposing her to the abyssal void that spawn these monstrous creatures.

The monsters shriek lowly and growling from the bright light of the room, Kane is hurting them. Jibril watches as his minions are searring and burning alive as they wrap and coil around Maruda's containment cell. Kane gets down on his hands and knees. He hammers his fists into the stone and metal bracing himself for the worse possible pain he may ever felt. Awaiting his possible death.

"If this is the last time we see each other. It been a pleasure meeting you, Jibril el-Salenhar Medressa Kha Mustafar" Kane says in a nice final fair well."

Kane signs deeply and tightens up, readying himself.

"Ready!"​

Does Jibril Activate All Purge??
Does Jibril Activate Maruda's Purge Only?
Does Jibril Active Jimmy's Purge Only?
Does Jibril Deactivate the Countermeasures?
