[b]Indeed, Vince was on a bed in the infirmary, with Teriar and Jeremiah sitting on chairs beside him [/b]
-
"Hey guys. How's he doing?"
-
"He'll live." [b]Terry looked up at Altar through his helmet, while a slight snoring was heard from Jeremiah [/b]
-
"Good." She sat in a chair next to Jeremiah. "How are you two holding up?"
-
"I'm doing just fine. That wolf caused me quite a bit of trouble. Jeremiah here. Well you can see how he's doing."
-
She smiles at this. "We had quite the tiring experience."
-
"Yeah I can tell... What happened after I left?"
-
"Crazy knight and an ice dragon."
-
"Crazy Knight? That'd be either Artorias or Hawkwood."
-
"Hawkwood. I kicked his butt."
-
"He. Nice work. That's two down, two to go. Hawkwood and Watcher are gone. Leaving only Pontiff and Aldrich."
-
"They a crazy knight club or something?"
-
"Hawkwood is the only Knight. Watcher was an NCR Ranger. Pontiff and Aldrich are mages of a sort."
-
"And they all work for Kross?"
-
"They're not working for him. They are him. Those are the four souls he claimed... And they are under his control."
-
"But didn't he kill Watcher?"
-
"He did. Or at least, he claimed Watcher's soul."
-
"Oh. Honestly, this is all very confusing."
-
"In what way?"
-
"I just don't get why Kross has become a madman."
-
"He has the souls of three bloodthirsty men. Aldrich, Pontiff and Hawkwood. They were monsters. The lot of them. He's had to deal with it since."
-
"Sounds...Like this is going to be a doozy."
-
"It has been so far. Wouldn't you agree?"
-
She laughs. "Yes, yes I would."

[b]With that, Teriar leaned back against the chair[/b] "Ain't no rest for the wicked..." [spoiler]End! What'd you think? [/spoiler]
