"Deliciously"? I don't understand the question.

There is always a price to pay for use of such darkness.

I chose to live modestly and in temperance, to follow Iomedae's perfection.

Everything has a price.

That's okay.

Why?

Because that's what The Inheritor demands of me. It's a tenant of Her faith.

Oh. Well I suppose that's nice then. Good for you.

I sense that you are traveling a dark path. You better be careful. The whispers will lead you astray and taint your soul. Hell is no happy place.

Hell is for humans who die.

Death will come for us all eventually and the Gods do not forget our sins.

The Dark Lord expects us to sin. He knows we're weak. He forgives.

Those are false words and lies from an abnormity. It's not in his power to save. His realm is one of pain and suffering and that's the fate that awaits you. Trust me. You can only hope death will release you before it's too late. I've no mercy for those that dooms themselves willing.

Are they? Says who? Who gets to decide what or who is an abnormality?

I wouldn't ask a man for mercy. Or trust one. History's full of all the reasons not to.

The gods decide that and it's not our place to doubt their judgment. They stand firmly against the darkness and destruction. Hell upon the mortal world is the only thing that the forces of evil wishes.

I'm more than just a man. I'm Aasimars. I'm of celestial descendance. I've dedicated my life and sword to Iomedae, Light of the Sword, Inheritor of Aroden, the last Azlanti human, god of human society.

My path is clear. Either you surrender or I smite you. Your choice.

I'm not going to surrender and you're not going to smite me. You can't.

You're actually powerless against me.

Wanna test that? [He says as he touches the holy symbol hanging down his neck. It lights up in an otherworldly but good light. In case she's indeed in the evil spectrum his smite will hurt badly. She might reconsider her options. After all he's a paladin and half-angel.]

No. Why would I bother? [She just looks at him, like a bored teenager]

Do you have a big choice to make, sweetie? ( don't mind the "sweetie" stuff. she means well. she's kind of an embarrassing mom-type, even with teenagers, who'd probably prefer if she treated them like mini-adults. )

Fair enough m'lady. [He responds as he with a swift action blasts her with holy light. Drawing his sword he stands idle, giving her a chance to fight back.]

[Sabrina is used to the way well meaning adults talk, which is not unlike her own Aunties.]

I do. I've been offered a... scholarship at a rather prestigious boarding school. But if I go there it means leaving my friends behind.

I made that choice a long time ago. You only got one life so why not live it to the fullest? Hook up, play games and treat every day like your last. That's happiness. Rules and regulations just hinders you.

Did you ever regret it?

Why would I regret putting myself first?

I don't know. I just wondered.

Take it from me kid [Even though she probably isn't that much younger, Leifr only being 19 and all] the only one whom matters is number one. Do what makes you happy. Everyone goes through life alone.

I'm not alone though. I have my Cousin and my Aunties. Harvey and Roz and Susie...

I'm just not sure what will make me happy I guess.

People have a tendacy to let you down. You think they care for you? Well that may not be the case in the long run. While you still have to live with yourself, demons and all.

They do care about me. They're my family and if they let me down they won't do it on purpose. People aren't perfect. We're flawed creatures and prone to failure.

But you're right. I do have to live with myself.

My clan threw me out without a second thought. I never imagined they would do that but here I am.

There must have been some who had second thoughts. Why did they throw you out?

Because I'm tainted by my impure blood. Infernal blood flows through my veins making me more demon than man when I rage. They were terrified by my precense and exiled me.

What's impure though... Don't you think it's a little unfair to blame someone for how they're born?

You would think so but not among the Ulfen. The horrors that comes crawling out the World Wound has scared my people of what's demonic. I was no longer welcome after my infernal heritage was revealed. Somewhere up the line my family was in close contact with demons. It tainted us in their eyes, me in particular.

Alas they were not unkind. I left with plenty to be able to build a new life for myself, away from the icy north of my ancestors.

( it's strange. sabrina said "prestigious boarding school" and olivia shouldn't have any reason to doubt her. yet—she can almost feel the wind rustling through the trees. she imagines the moon, blood red. maybe a lunar eclipse? there's something dark about this, something secret.

olivia herself is only mortal, but she's "sensitive." she has visions. she gets feelings, beyond intuition. time is more tangled up than most people think. she sees glimpses of the past and the future. she doesn't really understand her own power, which makes it easy for dark forces to exploit. she thinks it's best to only mention what sabrina told her, for now, putting what she saw out of mind. honestly, she's not even sure if it's related. )

That's a tough one. I'm sure you'd make new friends at boarding school. Does it really have to mean leaving anyone behind? I know it isn't the same, and you won't see them every day, but won't you still see your friends sometimes? The great thing about my old friends is that I can pick up right where I left off, even if I haven't seen them in a long time.

Of course, Delicious Friend.

The darker the magic, the greater the price.
