Arlokk was nearly frothing at the mouth, his glowing eyes streaked red with uncontrollable fury as he struggled against the bindings until the sedative took effect.<span style="color: #ff0000">"With a group of now dead Trolls, apparently." </span>Shrugging, Karrie conjured a dull, gray crystal and sat it beside her sedated grandfather.<span style="color: #ff0000">"Then watch."</span>Without warning a massive blade appeared from the shadows zapped Arlokk with black energy, killing him instantly. The blade floated to Karrie's hand where it caused demonic scales to form around her hand and race her up arm. Karrie shuddered and took a deep breath, staggering a bit as she leaned against her weapon. When she recovered and looked back at Ophidian her eyes were burning green with fel fire.<span style="color: #ff0000">"This soulstone is still empty. I just killed him and yet there's no soul."</span>She pressed the shard against Arlokk's chest but nothing happened.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "His..." </span>The warlock paused and looked at Arlokk, green energy pulling away from her hooded face to restore Arlokk to life. Karrie turned away from Ophidian and his father while the alchemist's results would show Arlokk being in nothing but the highest peak of physical health.<span style="color: #ff0000">"This is troubling. It doesn't make sense but... watch and I hope you can count fast." </span>She extended her scythe so the blade was hovering over Arlokk's chest.<span style="color: #ff0000">"Ready?" </span>She growled a word in demonic and energy filled the weapon causing it to begin draining energy from Arlokk. There was a slight delay before a massive stream of souls began to flow from Arlokk's body.<span style="color: #ff0000">"They come by the dozens... Trollish souls, new and old... some even ancient. Hundreds... at least hundreds. But why?" </span>The flow suddenly stopped and Karrie staggered backwards before falling flat on her ass.<span style="color: #ff0000">"The'kal!"</span><br/><br/>The'kal jumped suddenly and looked away then stood up and looked at Order.<span style="color: #666600">"None. I don't fight. I don't give them a chance to fight. You battle but I win."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
