Just a Passing Assassin...

[ThreadLurkingComorant]

The fiendish creature has dropped quite the accusation, and based on Cabinetta's current state you don't think she's the best for answering. You try to take caution, scope out what info you can.

Spiral: You have to deal with me right now, what do you want?

???: Finality.

It approaches just a little closer, Cabinetta's mental voice turning into a sustained hiss.

???: Your resemblance is uncanny, almost identical. A fiend? One of very similar composition and appearance but... your face does not match.

???: Fiend of similar origin? A doppelganger? Family? Clearly you must know who she is to be so difficult to distinguish. You share so much in common...

Spiral: Give me a little more to work with and maybe we'll talk.

???: Oh? What do you need? I can offer you a place in our kingdom if you could perhaps do us a favor.

???: We need a few more strong backs around after all..

Spiral: A kingdom?

???: Mm. Perhaps with a castle too, would be a shame to tear this place down. Think we'd keep it..

Spiral: And what do you want with "she" exactly?

???: You can say her name, you must know more than we do..

???: But ultimately, we come to return favor.

???: To take the flesh of fiend upon us was always a goal. To be formed into one was... not intended.

???: And now we'll be imperfect until then..

???: A fiend is at its core a sentimental remnant.

???: Flesh formed of soul. The final form of all life.

???: Medicine, advancements in technology, eternal life can all be discovered through the amassment of fiendish body.

???: And for the living to merge with those beyond death, to claim a shell like such is the final step of striving toward godhood.

???: That opportunity is gone, our mortality that defines us as people has been shed through brute force. She's taken that from us. We are The Fallen here to reclaim heaven for those lost souls who straggle toward our piece of the sky.

Spiral: You want to become god?

The Fallen: Higher than that, beyond either man or fiend but..

The Fallen: Have to say, you have me curious. Perhaps you are already that... in which case I owe you a potential apology.

The Fallen: Mortal soul in the flesh of the pure, a name?

Spiral: Spiral.  

The Fallen: Interesting. You don't appear to be a imitation. It would truly appear someone has claimed the beast for themselves which.. mm..

The Fallen: Lord forgive us for our current state, though perhaps its not so bad...

The opposing fiend steps up to a mirror in the hallway.

The Fallen: We've formed in image of our creator. Perhaps there is hope for us yet..

Spiral: I'm not sure I follow.

The Fallen: If we are in image of our founder, than our meeting is more than destined. And if that's the case, you're more than welcome to come back with us.

The Fallen: Disappointed we cannot make her atone but... a potential ally can be the start of healing in the eyes of the bishop.

Cabinetta mutters out something internally.

Cabinetta: I did what I had to. I could not let them set up in our town.

Cabinetta: These people have driven my kind out of home many time.

Cabinetta: To become a fiend yourself and still hate us... to still find justification.

Spiral: So then they are-

Cabintta: Mmhmm. One beyond saving from what it looks..

You can feel her trying to brute force the front.

Spiral: H-hey, hold up you're hurting me!

Cabinetta: I need to finish what I started, please let me go.

Your hands start trembling, her rage and fear is trying to push you out of the front.

Steady comes in and scoops up your hand.

Steady: Hey, calm down... I got your back.

The Fallen tilts their head, leg half raised on the verge of getting even closer.

The Fallen: Are there others here? Allies? We can bring them in if you have reluctance.

Steady: We got places to be-

The Fallen: I want to hear them answer.

The rabbit looked you in the eye sternly.
