The pair would nod, and break off to assist, their weapons particularly effective against fey.<br/><br/>"Do you feel it, 'King'?" the Lantern King asked, with a mocking tone to his voice. "That pain in your breast? That weight on your back? That dagger in your heart?"<br/><br/>As he tried to move across the room, it seemed to stretch and warp, the room growing longer and longer with each stride he took, taking him no closer to his family - and if he looked back, he's only moved a couple of feet at most.<br/><br/>"That is the curse upon these lands,<em>your</em>lands. By claiming them, you have become bound to them - to the pain and sorrow and anguish that tears through them. But not just the current tragedy, oh no, that would not suffice for a finale. No, you are feeling the anguish of all the kingdom my dear Nyrissa has destroyed!" he said, sounding<em>remarkably</em>proud of himself. "Just as Nyrissa's sisters suffered for her curse, so will your followers suffer with you. The First World is washing over this land like a wave, and it will devour your souls along with it."<br/><br/>As heis words ended, all of his advisors, and his family, cried out in pain, as the pain he'd felt welling up inside him was shared among the rest. Even Nyrissa staggered from it.<br/><br/>"And now, I think I shall leave you with this knowledge. And, I'll be taking my old toy, since she was unequal to the performance's leading role."<br/><br/>Nyrissa scowled at the Lantern King defiantly. "I think not. You've toyed with me for thousands of years, 'Eldest'. I'll be no one's toy any longer. We will undo this curse - and end you!"<br/><br/>The Lantern King's voice rang out through the room, genuine amusement. "Fight if you wish, children. I will take my place among the spectators." With a swirl and a flash, the fey demigod vanished, and reality reasserted itself, momentarily, allowing him to join his companions, who could move once again.
