The possessed Talli laughed at Loof's prayer.  “Do not utter your foul tongue at me.  It is little wonder your kind have not died out.  We should have never allowed...”  There was a strangled sound as the other spirit finally intervened, breaking the hold over the girl.  Collapsing unconscious to the floor, Talli lay motionless and naked.  Helpless in mind and body as the spirits warred within.  Huddled deep within the recesses of her mind, her soul watched, wishing the two would leave her.  Yet knowing without them she would lose all the protections and magic that had kept her alive since she first emerged from the smoke of the ruined temple those many years past.
