02/18/13 - Morgan calls in a favor
Morgan called me today to watch his back and help him recapture his childer. He claims that this person was a consort of his lost Kamiko. This info came out when he misspoke, when I asked about her. He said "kamiko” then he corrected rather lamely, that this person was Kamiko's consort. That slip, and his drive to save her made me think th at she may somehow be the reincarnation that I was told about. I was unaware that she was embraced.
I met him in Sydney, and we prepped to go into battle. It appears that Brian, and Yan are playing distraction, whilst Morgan uses escape to a true friend to teleport to her (another indication of who she is). We buff up as much as we can and go on in. Morgan immediately starts vomiting blood as soon as we leave the closet that we are in. I use a path of focused mind to make sure he has the clarity of thought to see through the vile smell, and we are able to go on, as he is the only one that can see his child. We finally weave our way through, and leap the balcony to the ground courtyard and we see a doorway that is cursed. I inform Morgan that the door is cursed, but I may be able to bypass it via teleport. However Morgan just decided to walk through and accept the curse. I still decided to teleport in just in case. Once inside we see 8 different women, all of which look like his child. It is at this moment that i first hear the voice of the demon. he taunts me, and tries to get me to give in to him, in return for the power over time. i refuse, but it is getting harder to resist. i feel my will draining. Using stone of the true form, I change the first to another woman. Morgan then uses a mirror to tell that the remainder of the woman are also not Kamiko. he then looks across the gauntlet, to see that Kamiko is lying on the alter in the other realm (I am assuming as I cannot see) He uses his power (I guess) to grab at her. It is at this moment that the other 8 woman crawl out of their chains to start attacking. Meanwhile the demon is again pounding at my mind. I deny him, but it is getting harder. With my celerity and claws I am able to kill the first two women quickly. One who is at Morgan's back, and the other who is at the alter gesturing at him. I then use my mirror power to allow me to attack many of the people in the room, and keep them busy with the unknown me. I use a split to take care of another that was at his back, but she proves to be a bit more resilient as it takes two attacks to put her down. Knowing that I have 4 opponents, I need to find a way to remove them. I have but two actions left and I need to deal with as many as I can. I have the idea to use the large metal doors to wrap up the vampires. On the first, she manages to doge, albeit barely. The second however, becomes a burrito. I am down to three people, but alas... My will is gone.
I vaguely remember teleporting out of the fight, and finding myself in the courtyard. Yan says something about leaving, or getting together, but really I don't care. I have done what I need to...I will look at the stars.
Epilogue... Morgan ditches me in the middle of the mountains. Yan, and Brian managed to get me out. I do not remember much beyond the initial start, but Yan was able to scry the past and find out what happened. The danger level, and the fact I stayed as long as I was able (still don't know why I teleported out) combined with the knowledge that Kamiko is alive, means that Morgan and myself are square, debt paid. However there is a slight wrinkle.. Somehow my celerity is gone, and I have Temporis in its place. Demon is fucking with me, as he knows I will have to keep this a secret from everyone. Crap.
