"A noble goal but one day the whole world will be too hot to touch. We should help as many people as possible." Zal says. Xenia nods in agreement. The submarine surfaces near the coast of Purperkust Ruins. Purperkust was a town you destroyed to stop the spread of undead, you are worried what you will see after more than 2 years have passed. The sub is stocked with basic supplies for an extended stay. You all disembark and see the ruins of the town. The town is empty, destroyed and decayed. > You say "Redsamuru, you stay here to watch the submarine. Who wants to enter the town ruins with me?" Redsamuru nods in agreement. "Great idea, I'm coming with you." Dis says. You nod and the pair of you go into the ruined town. Purperkust was once a large town which survived for centuries, but it couldn't survive you after the undead plague that hit it. Now it's abandoned and in ruins. "I don't think there is anyone here." Disarria says. > You look for any signs of life or change, memorial plaques, graves, drifters... you just want to talk to someone about what happened here. You both walk through the ruins and find nothing but decay. "I don't think anyone is left." Disarria says, she sounds disappointed. You find a haphazardly constructed graveyard. Pits for all the people you had to put down to prevent infection. > You investigate the mass graves. You walk towards the graveyard. You look for a memorial dedicated to the people of Purperkust. You find no plaques or markers but instead you find several mass graves. You are stunned in shock, the horrors you were forced to commit are haunting g you. "We should leave, there's nothing here." Disarria says. You disagree but decide not to argue, you walk back to the submarine with Disarria. > You seek out Xenia once back on the submarine to talk about your memories. You both go back to the sub and you seek out Xenia. You find her in the mess hall. "Hello." She says. You sit down and describe your experience at the graveyard. "I see, well it sounds like you are still carrying some heavy stuff." Xenia says. "I feel like a monster, I destroyed an entire town." You say. Xenia smiles and leans in to hug you. You smile and hug her back as you both close your eyes.

> You say "It all comes rushing back to me. I see the dread of the children I had to kill. To spare them undead damnation." You say. Xenia nods in sympathy. "Well, you were put in an awful situation, no one can fault you for doing the right thing and sparing their souls." Xenia says. You smile and nod as you embrace her once more. > You say "Do you think the people of Purperdraak island understand? Even if it was right, I feel so alone and afraid." "It's not easy, I know." Xenia says. "I have never faced such a situation before, but I think they would forgive you. You should try to get on with your life and make the most of it." She smiles and hugs you once more. "You're right." You say. "It's my duty, Catharsion said I did the right call." > You say "What is your opinion on mind control, Xenia? All I know is that it is the in between of dark and light magic. " Xenia tells you this form of magic is exceptionally rare. So far not even the Ietros Theocracy could produce it. Maybe it can only exist in dreamscape? It is related to the cosmic after all. The magic itself is more about the intention of the user rather than the magic power itself. It's not even necessary to cast any spells. You just need to be in a certain state of mind, but this is incredibly rare to achieve. You wonder if this is related to the mythical violet dragons who would live in space. Xenia advices you to use the light to weaken the severity of your symptoms, and to do so with Koriza. She needs it too. You find Koriza in your shared room, she was updated by Disarria. You speak softly "hey Koriza... I am not doing too well either."' You tell her that you are going together on this, and she says she is glad. You embrace each other lovingly. After that you meditate, and fall asleep together. The next day, while you are alone in your room you look out the window to watch the sea life. The Submarine is passing over a coral reef. You look at the multi-colored fish swimming about. After that, you decide to head to the dining hall for some lunch. The next few days are more of the same. You spend your time with Koriza and Xenia, and watch the submarine pass by various aquatic wildlife and natural wonders. > You use telepathy to contact Abysmalia, curious about her progress on the shadow schism and the demonology related to it. You focus on your mind, and try to contact Abysmalia. You try to be careful not to be too invasive or nosy, as you don't want to seem aggressive. You simply try to speak with her mind. Hello? Ah, hello Entropion. I was expecting you to come by. How are things? Fine, fine. > You say "I am going to try something, I will peer through your eyes and you will narrate your progress. Fine by you?" Yes, indeed. That sounds fine. You immediately see masses of flesh, as if the entire landscape become a bony tumor with eyes. The abyssal fleshy infection has overwhelmed the place you flooded with negative energy. Abysmalia explains that she has made progress controlling this grotesque mess. She can mold the flesh to her desire. Horrifying humanoid shapes skulk about. Eyes where no eyes should be, their bodies made out of misplaced flesh and blood. You know your team won't like this but it is indeed a perfect method to strike fear in the hearts of the Zealots of the Ietros theocracy. > You say "Don't drink too much blood, Abby. You barely got free from corruption so do not let it get you again." "Why do you care?" "Because you are my friend. I do not want to lose you." She pauses, unsure of what to say, and takes a moment to answer. "Thank you, Entropion. I will keep that in mind." You leave her mind. Later, you, Koriza, Zalisi, Disarria, Xenia and Redsamuru are "enjoying" dinner. More canned goop. You tell the group about the abyssal flesh of the shadow schism that you saw through Abysmalia. The room reacts with disgust and horror. Xenia is the most vocal, saying that she won't go anywhere near that thing. Zal just frowns, looking down at her food. "We are not using that abomination," Zal says. "We use our own power." You shrug. > You say "Disarria, Koriza? What do you think? We opened that dread silo and I don't want to stop halfway through!" "We are not using that abomination," Zal says. "We use our own power." You shrug. "I think we should use the abyssal flesh," Disarria says. "It's a perfect idea." Koriza nods. "Yeah, I agree." "Okay," you say. Xenia disapproves, flesh demons spread like wildfire and it takes very little for them to turn someone into their kind.

Xenia and Zalisi refuse to partake. They will attend to other matters. Zalisi wants to talk to you after the meeting, you meet in her room. She tells that you are behind on magic training, there are 8 magic schools and you only know dark and light. You water magic training needs attention and Zalisi has spent much time honing this form of magic. She wants to train you to fix the delay you have accumulated. Zalisi reminds you that water and frost magic works by a complete lack of emotion, as opposed to fire. "Enty, we are in a submarine. It should be easy. Could you try growing a thin ice sheet on that window?" Zalisi points at a window. You nod and concentrate, trying to channel the frost and ice magic that you are so familiar with. Within moments, you see a sheet of clear ice on the window. Zalisi smiles. Zalisi instructs you to keep the ice frozen for a hour as she leaves the room. This means you have to maintain your emotionless trance. You find it very easy to maintain this trance as you watch the ice sheet slowly spread. You begin to enjoy not having to focus and feel your mind grow bored. As you watch the ice, you realize it's melting and water is dripping down the glass. 'What the fuck?' you think. 'I'm supposed to be keeping it frozen. You practice and get better each try as you learn to block out invasive thoughts and give your mind clear commands. After a while Zalisi comes in with 3 mundane Crystal's, they were fire Crystals that fuel the submarine after they got emptied. Zalisi smirks "you made progress, Enty. I got these 3 crystals. Filling one with dark, the other with light and the third with frost magic would be interesting " > You say "Well, let's start with darkness. Dark magic is powered by sadism and desire to inflict pain. Let me get in the mood and fill the first crystal." You look at the dark crystal and begin to think about things that make you feel sadistic. You think of the many times you've had to kill or harm someone. You think about how you love to watch others in pain. You think about how you got sick joy out of every second of pain you've brought upon others. You take all these feelings and begin focusing on them. You let all your sadistic masochistic desires flow into the dark crystal. Zalisi looks worried as she grabs the dark crystal. She shivers as she looks at the black and purple energy within. "Enty, can you charge the second one with light? I'd rather see you use empathy than sadism" light magic uses empathy as power source. You nod and begin to think about pleasant things. You think about your wedding with Koriza, the time you spent on your honey moon, the first time you hugged her... Your happy memories begin to flow into the second crystal. You smile as Zalisi grabs it. She looks less worried now. "Now for the frost one. Remember, emotions off." You begin to focus on that. You clear your mind. Zalisi is satisfied and hands you the charged crystals. She tells you to experiment with them as you rend to do with new stuff. You want to ask Zalisi something. "Hey Zal? Was learning water magic hard for you? I mean, you are quite emotional and this magic is about pure logic and emotionless state of mind" You ask her. Zalisi thinks for a moment "Well, it was challenging at first, but I got used to it. I'd say in the end, it made me a stronger person." You nod and grab your stuff. You enter the dining room full of people. You look at them all. Koriza isn't there, you assume she is mourning in her room. Disarria notices the 3 magic gems you brought with you and smirks "hey Enty. Dark magic is about Entropy, it should speed up the submarine if you toss it with the fire crystals" Redsamuru's eyes go wide. You feel a rant is incoming. "NO! Don't do it! Those crystals will overwhelm the engine! You are such a stupid woman!" Zalisi sighs and gives you a look. She is not in the mood. "Redsamuru, you know we talked about this" Redsamuru frowns as he slowly walks upstairs.

Xenia looks at the light gem and smiles. "Give that to Koriza, it can help her in this painful times." You nod. This leaves the dark gem. Disarria scoops it up, you trust her enough to let this go. > You say "How did you get Redsamuru under control, Zalisi?" Zalisi tells you all that she is dating him, it barely started but she can't finish before Disarria spits out her drink. "WHAT?! Why the fuck you dating that perverted fat ass?!" Zalisi explains that Redsamuru behaved really heroically at Kitori. He did save your life so you can't argue. Zalisi thinks she can improve Redsamuru. Xenia tilts her head "I feel Zalisi and Redsamuru may be a symbiotic couple" You think about Xenia's odd way of describing things and nod. Xenia explains further, she thinks Zalisi will be able to tame Redsamuru and Redsamuru's "natural charm" will rub off on Zalisi. Disarria isn't convinced though and says "I don't think you'll ever get that grossness out of Red" Disarria gets up to leave as you nod to her. Zalisi asks you where Koriza is. > You say "Her room, I will be going to comfort her soon. " Zalisi nods and says "I'll be going to comfort Redsamuru, he seems to like it when I read him stories" Zalisi goes upstairs. You sigh as you go up the stairs to Koriza's room. You softly knock on the door, before going inside. Inside, you find Koriza sitting on her bed. She looks up at you and gives a small smile. You close the door behind you and walk towards her bed. > You say "Hey lover-mine, are you feeling any better? " Koriza nods and holds out her arms. You wrap your arms around her and hold her close, stroking her gently as you used to. You rub circles on her back as she buries her face in your chest. After a few minutes of silence she speaks "you guys are my family, but I feel my heritage is at risk" > You say "Well, if you ever want to have a nest with me, that means we have to settle down and quit adventuring. " Koriza looks up at you and nods. "I... Think I want to settle down" Koriza says. > You say "You lost both your parents recently, no, I am not letting you make this call while you are in mourn. " Koriza is stunned. "But I..." She begins to say before you interrupt her "Ietros. We need to liberate Ietros first. Until the theocracy is overthrown. You can decide then" > You say "You are strong, my queen. I believe you can handle this. Your ancestors emblazoned that solar seal on you for a reason." Koriza looks at the mirror in her room and sees the seal of Korizan, an emblem of a sun, burning bright. She smiles back at you "You're right" You embrace her one more time and say "The Resistance will always be here for you. Xenia will always be here for you. Now, we need to continue our set plans" > You say "I got you this light gem, it should lessen the pain and help you cope." Koriza smiles and says "You're too kind, but I don't deserve it" You say "Well, you're stuck with me now" You kiss her on the forehead and she lays down to sleep. The next day, you lead the group to Ietros. The journey is uneventful and you have a quiet ride. Three days later, you reach the border of the shadow schism. The crimson fleshy landscape becomes visible as you look through the periscope in turns. Xenia shivers, she retreats to her room. > You say "Disarria is coming with me, so, Koriza? You in or out for this one?" Koriza smiles "I'm in" she says. You nod, you know your wife well enough that being stuck inside a submarine will do more harm than good. Redsamuru surfaces the submarine, you can fly to the shadow schism coast. As you, Disarria and Koriza get on top of the submarine and appreciate the fresh air as Redsamuru closes the hatch. You speak up "hey, I need to telepathically contact Abysmalia. She studied the abyssal flesh" After a while you are done, Abysmalia gave you instructions. You turn to Disarria and Koriza and joke about the situation. "Well, time to fly into a nightmare realm made of flesh. All in a day's work!" You quip. You, Disarria and Koriza take flight. The coastline of Ietros gets closer as you approach it at a breakneck pace. You appreciate the fact that you are a dragon with wings, you wouldn't fancy doing this journey any other way! The three of you reach the coastline quickly.

You land on the spot you agreed on with Abysmalia and rendezvous with her. Abysmalia looks like she hasn't slept or eaten in ages! Koriza and Disarria give her worried looks. Abysmalia gives you an evil grin yes! I have mastered controlling this demonic flesh! The blood-feast will begin soon!" > You say "Abby, that dark magic really worked on you. Remember our arrangement? I'm going to put some light magic in you to help with the overactive mind and voices. " Disarria looks worried. Koriza looks mad. You decide to go talk to them while Abysmalia has that dark aura from before. "Hey, no need to worry. I'm sure this will help her. We all need a little light in our lives." Koriza and Disarria give you the benefit of the doubt. > You place one hand on Abysmalia's heart and the other on her forehead. You command her to hold still as you close your eyes and empathize with Abysmalia's state of mind and her troubles. You feel the demonic energy in her system and figure out what needs to be done with it. You make a few changes in her body and mind. Soon the demonic aura is suppressed. "There, all done. She shouldn't have anymore nightmares or demonic voices for a while" You announce. Abysmalia seems healthier already and gives you a hug. Both Koriza and Disarria stand with their mass agape as you made this dark witch putty in your claws as if she was a kitty! > You say "What? I spent 18 months with Abby in dreamscape! I know how to heal her. " Koriza pouts jealously. "I feel conflicted here..." Abysmalia points out it was Koriza and Disarria getting you in coma on dreamscape the first place! You nod. An awkward silence falls before Abysmalia speaks up. "Yes, this is indeed flesh, but of magical origin. It will try to infect the entirety of Ietros! I did not want a repeat of our Purperdraak Eiland conflict, so I trained some disciples. The flesh druids will contain, care take and cleanse the shadow schism!" You are frightened yet intrigued by this new information. Disarria speaks up. "Well then, take us to your base. Show us what you've made" Abysmalia smiles as Koriza looks disgusted. You wander through the wet, bony and fleshy hellscape. Koriza fringing and groaning across the way. After a while you arrive. It is village completely turned to flesh. Humanoid in hooded robes inhabit this wretched place. Their robes are made of skin and the hoofs are rimmed with teeth. Some wear eyeballs as necklaces. Abysmalia watches on pridefully. She is satisfied with her followers. Koriza turns grim at the site of these monsters. "These are the followers you've created?" She asks as if disgusted. "Yes, and they're better than any Disciples! They follow my every command, unlike the Disciples who turned on me!" Abysmalia says rather proudly, as if she is a mother praising her children. "We had to survive!" One of them speaks up as you all enter a rather disturbing 'church'. The middle of the temple has a well with fleshy, humanoid shapes holding hands to form a circle. Abysmalia explains the abyssal flesh is a giant organism assimilating all it can. Disarria inspects the flesh closely with interest. "So they share consciousness as well?" She asks as she pokes a head in the organism. "Yes, they do" Abysmalia responds. The Disciples seem surprised, most likely because they've never expected two purple dragons to visit . You aren't sure what to make of all this but you're definitely interested. Then a robed figure comes out. He is hooded and has no eyes or eye sockets. Instead there is only darkness. He holds a skull in his hand as he greets you. "Witness as the flesh that hates ascends new minds" Koriza holds you close. "Not sure if I want to." Multiple acolytes undo their hoods and the hooded skull bearer's face Void sprouts multiple bloody tendrils touching the acolytes as the tendrils leave gross rashes that look like the abyssal flesh. Soon they chant in unison "the flesh that hates. The flesh that hates. The flesh that hates" Koriza is both disgusted and infuriated as she puked inside her mouth. She tries to keep herself together. "The flesh that hates" The acolytes chant as they begin cutting off their own skin and letting the rashes grow. They begin to tear out their eyes as the hooded figure happily commands them to do so. "This is sick" Disarria says as she stares in awe. "This is just the beginning." The hooded man says with glee as more and more figures just like him enter. > You say "Abysmalia, you control the abyssal flesh and this cult. You can keep them contained as we agreed?" "What, of course, do you take me for a fool? The only reason I'm not destroying them right now is because we made an agreement.

Unless you don't want me to control them?" "Never mind, what's next?" You ask Abysmalia. Abysmalia shows you a toothy grin. "Desecrate a communion! As long the Flesh druids I send with you will not open their mouth mouths, you should be able to get into the ceremonial location" a flesh druid speaks up in insanity "RIVERS OF PUSS DOWN THE RIVER OF MIND VENOM!" Abysmalia shakes her head. "See? That is what they are like when excited" You nod. "We'll get this done" "Good, I will send a few acolytes to accompany you. They will help you reach the ceremonial location. Disciple Barfeez, you will help them as well. I have faith in you all!" The insane flesh druids begin to drag each other in a circle around Abysmalia as they begin their insane chant. Soon, four of the most normal looking of the lot arrives at your location. You talk with your group about how to tackle this mission. You and Disarria got disguise spells and Koriza is suspicious of this fleshy mess. You, Barfeez and Disarria go to a teleporter and arrive on a hill overlooking the Venue. A white dragon temple. The communion will be held here tomorrow. Ample of time to prepare your anti charm offensive. You decide to use the time to prepare. > You say "So, Disciple Barfeez, is it? I suppose you will do the desecrating. What is your unholy power anyway?" Barfeez informs you that he will do the actual desecrating, you just have to use disguise magic with Disarria to appear as white dragons and get him close. Disarria seems curious "how will you Desecrate the royal child anyway? It sounds very.. Pedophilic." Luckily this is not what Barfeez had in mind. Barfeez giggles in a worrisome manner "hehehe it is a SEEECRET! yes..." you and Disarria saw some sick shit, so you don't think too much of it as you go to sleep. You wake up to a bluish green light, Disarria shaking you awake "It's time". You and Disarria cast your spells and head to the temple with Barfeez. You arrive at the back Entrance of the temple, a few dragons are there, but they let you in after seeing what you are. Disguised as white dragons, you and Disarria make your way through the temple. You see multiple symbols of unknown origin. This temple is guarded well, despite being an open ceremony. You talk with Disarria out of earshot of everyone else. "I don't think this Barfeez guy will exit here alive if he has to commit a blasphemy in public, but cultists are willing to die for stupid stunts aren't they?" You see your cynicism and try to act more positive "Yeah, but they probably won't kill him on the spot. Our mission is more important than some snot-nosed kid after all." Disarria is about to say something back, but you hear chanting. You are in a large room with many white dragons. Barfeez, Disarria and You approach the altar. Barfeez is wearing a priest outfit, he has obviously killed the original and stole his clothes. You and Disarria watch the ceremony unfold. The communion of a young white dragon. Barfeez walks towards the altar and pulls out a spell scroll, reading it. The scroll is a mumbling mess of symbols. The father sees this and gives him a stare that could kill a mortal, but Barfeez ignores him and reads the scroll louder. Everything goes on normally until the young white dragon must drink holy water, Barfeez is about to show everyone here that this ceremony carries no divine protection. After the white dragon drank the sham "holy" water, Barfeez speaks up. "I will vomit the hatred of Abysmalia into your soul" Barfeez starts vomiting all over the young white dragon. The unholy torrent of black sludge keeps coming with a loud roar as Barfeez desecrates the ceremony! Barfeez keeps vomiting and vomiting until his dried up corpse collapses. This act horrifies the crowd. > You say "First the shadow schism, then the flesh that hates and now this?! The theocracy has failed protecting us! " You say "First the shadow schism, then the flesh that hates and now this?! The theocracy has failed protecting us! We have to unite as a whole to prevent more tragedies from happening!" The congregation looks at you.

Then they start cheering at your speech in fanatic fervor. The young white dragon is paralyzed in fear and covered in vomit. His father, a large white dragon, yells in anger "I disavow the theocracy and their lies! The light and king Orpheus failed my son!" Orpheus. You make a note to remember that, now you know who leads the secretive theocracy. Or-fee-us. > You say "Hey, Dis? Let's go while we still can." "I'm with you." She says. The two of you start to go, however, a young white dragon blocks your path. "I'll never forget this, traitor." He says, his voice shaking with rage and sadness. Before anything else can happen, you and Disarria make a run for it. The two of you exit the gates of the temple with ease. While you and Disarria are flying back to Abysmalia, you chuckle. "Barfeez. Heh, I get his name now. Barfeez, Barfing? Get it?!" "Yeah... It was pretty funny. Ha ha." Dis says, her voice lacking the enthusiasm that yours had. "Hey. You O.K?" "Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking." "About?" "We got a kid and family traumatized by letting some nutter vomit on him. Are we truly the good guys here?" Disarria asks you. You give it some though. > You say "This is nothing compared to Apocalion, his darkness cannot be explained until you saw it. Will you trust me, Disarria?" "I trust you. I'll have to take your word on this one." "We're doing the right thing, Disarria. We must unite against the evil that plagues this world." You and Disarria reach Abysmalia without further incident. When you arrive, you're lead into a dark room where you see Abysmalia smiling wide. "So, did Barfeez do his duty?" > You say "Yes, I don't know if traumatizing a child was a noble goal." "That's the goal? I thought it was to get the civilians on our side." You say, confused. "The goal is to cripple our enemy by any means necessary, even if that means having innocent blood on our hands. It's a tragedy, but these are the prices that must be paid in war." Abysmalia says with a shrug. You shake your head. Disarria frowns. > You say "So where did Koriza run off to? She said she'd stick around here until our return." "Oh, she's busy doing important things. You know how she is. She'll be back soon." "In the meantime, we should train you in the use of your element, Entropion." Disarria says with a nod. "Alright. That sounds fine by me." Disarria takes you to a training room and closes the door behind you.

"You ready?" She asks. Disarria, like Zalisi, is well versed in ice magic. She is a purple dragon, like you, so this magic was easier for Disarria to learn than it was Zalisi. You train for a bit to kill time, before too long Koriza walks in. She looks angry. "Entropion, Disarria? We are leaving for the sub. Now!" She doesn't want to speak on Abysmalia's home turf. Disarria is a bit surprised but you two agree with Koriza to go to the submarine. There in the next room over, you find a group of human cultists armed with various weapons standing guard. They look at you, confused. "Abysmalia wanted you to wait here." One of them says. "Well Abysmalia can wait for us. We're leaving now." Disarria responds. The guards don't look too happy about this, but you follow by Disarria's lead and board the sub with her and Koriza. Koriza immediately calls an emergency meeting, you, Koriza, Disarria, Zalisi, Redsamuru and Xenia take seats around the table. Koriza growls "wouldn't you know! The Onyx dragoness bitch has been absorbing Ietrosian villages with civilians left and right! Turning them into Abyssal flesh! My stupid husband over here has been complicit with her too!" You are caught off guard that Koriza attacked you so openly. "Wha...what?" You sputter. "Don't play stupid Enty! YOU were having an affair with the Onyx dragoness bitch!" Disarria comes to your defense. "That's not true, I and Enty were on a mission." "Besides, he is not the cheating type. I can sense his innocence" Xenia adds. Disarria explains what happened regarding Barfeez. Zalisi looks pale and sick in the stomach from the vomiting bit in the story. Redsamuru of course has nothing of value to add. "Told y'all Abysmalia is cray". Your turn, you tell the group you picked up the name "Orpheus" as leader of the secretive theocracy. Xenia gives out an angry "what?! That faggot?! Leader of Ietros?!" All of you stare at Xenia, her swearing like this is unknown to all of you. It must be bad. Xenia explains how Orpheus was a corrupt middle management inquisitor responsible for a lot of corruption and excessive taxation. When Xenia's father joined the opposition, he and his family were banished from Ietros. Xenia was too young to remember, but she recalls Alec was crying all the way to Eisodos. Orpheus is a spineless coward, she adds, and that it is unlikely he rules alone. Koriza, also angry, gets up and speaks. "Then it is clear. We are going to nose around in the capitol! Entropion, Xenia? You will accompany me. I need a small group and Xenia knows this culture enough for us to blend in. As for my husband? He has things to set straight!" You nod and gulp, you do not want to invoke the fury of a Korizan princess!
