(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioz53gs6qpA) Cyra's Theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0cf2c8HyVY)<br/><em>Initiative: Harriet (Shaken, Shattered Defenses, moderatly heavily injured) -&gt; Cyra(Moderatly heavily injured) -&gt; Greed(Lightly injured)</em><br/><br/>"The maldurian guards never use lethal force when arresting one, not unless forced to do so. Responding to a lawful arrest attempt by killing men that were doing their duty.. that teaches me you -are- twisted."<br/><br/>Cyra raised her blade, but was overwhelmed by Harriet's hammer strike, coughing up blood.. clearly not overly good at taking hits as she whimpered in a brief moment of pain. However, as Taris continued her assault, she found her hammer deflected aside, and instead, Cyra's blade had stabbed into her shoulder.<br/><em>Opportune Parry and Riposte. Sucess on the second attack. Harriet takes 16 Damage.</em>The princess claw and tail were equally swept aside by artful bladeplay, even as Cyra panted and covered her shoulder.<br/><br/>With a sweeping arch, Cyra followed this up by twirling her sword, causing Harriet to bend her sword aside in pain. And then, she dashed forwards, attacking with her own row of attacks.. which Harriet managed to defend from admirably, inspite of her compromised defenses.. but even if she managed to barely avoid one strike, there came another,  impaling Harriet's chest with her duelling blade.<br/>"The light.. will never.. Fall...!" She declared, withdrawing her weapon, panting heavily. (And another 17 piercing damage.) "Hmn... I think this works out for me now." He leaned back, arms crossed behind his back, his 'helplessness' gone as he smirked with suave superiority.<br/><br/>"The hero, Cyra Darkbane, lost her life slaying the wicked fiend and the Ambassador consolidates friendly relationships between Senval and Maldur by slaying the wicked fiend and rescuing a beloved guard captain.. too much for a headline,.. oh well." "What by Sarenrae are you talking about?" "Let me show you two girls true power." Greed mused, shouting a strange command-codeword and raising his fingers to signal his goons, which raised small wands.<br/>"You two will help bring a bright future for two countries. Oh and let me thank you Harriet, you played the part of monster more admirably than I could have asked for. All according to plan. Now, behold true power. I only need to move two fingers to defeat you." And then, he snipped his fingers, magical missiles flying towards both of them indiscrimnately. The already heavily injured Harriet found herself stumbling and falling, as everything slowed down around her.<br/>"Evil bastard!" Cyra proclaimed, her sword crackling up against the forceful sphere, with Greed actually backing off, just a little, commanding: "Fire again! Don't aim at the beast, we'll need her alive."<br/><br/>But by that point, Harriet had already faded away.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Darkness surrounded Harriet, floating nacked in an endless void. All pain and injury gone from her, as voices whispered in the darkness.<br/>Two Thousand years the fortress stands, Iron Pillars wreathed in rage. And then, there was fire in the darkness. Harriet could see.. a bridge, over a lake of lava, coming into focus like in a dream. Left and right of the bridge stand spires of flames. The bridge leads to.. somewhere important, Harriet feels, but before she can get a closer look, movement catches her eyes. A demonic shape, burning in flames, rises up and hisses at her, flaming whip twirling through the air..<br/>(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b1/47/27/b147274c764d6d12728b669bfe7289ce.jpg)<br/><br/>As the creature drops to it's knees before her, staring up in dark desire.<br/>And horned monsters bow their heads, to the soulless coming for her cage.<br/><br/>Flames shoot up towards Harriet, engulfing her body, molding it, turning it into the demonslut she was always ment to be ever since she gave her soul away. The process is not painful, to the contrary, it is intensely pleasurable.<br/>Suddenly, things settle into place for Harriet. Her purpose is to free her mistress, Esmeralda from her injust prison. That realization fills her mind with a certainty. Her own goals and ideals are still there, but freeing her mistress is just as important.<br/><br/>Then, she feels an urge, a desire, no.. a command to awaken, feeling a pull, an invisible leash tugging at her with the pain of a life not yet fully ended...<br/><br/><hr/>DM Note: Your death advanced the curse! You can still fight it, but it takes a conscious effort to even will yourself to do so! Please set your postcounter to 100.<br/><br/>Harriet is healed of all ability damage.<br/>She realizes with certainty that, beginning tomorrow, every day she does not spent working to free the mistress that claimed her soul will weaken her.
