Only to be let out in extreme emergency?
Sacrifice?
You are not Aduro, you are Malvel.
*breaks Nasty's prison on the ground.
Get him!
|
*An image appears in front of everyone.*
Oh please Schism, if that pathetic old man really was me, I'd have killed you all by now.
*The evil Malvel laughs a long, harsh laugh.*
Besides, it's not Aduro who's at fault. In the universe we come from, orcs are NEVER good!
*Malvel laughs again, then the image disappears.*
|
|
*After recovering from the shock of Schism's accusation and the appearance of Malvel.*
I assure you, Schism, that is how the spell works and I don't like it either!
*Stands in front of Schism, looking her in the eye.*
Furthermore, when someone smiles "grimly", it is a depressed smile!
*Sighs and begins to walk away.*
This universe is just so different from mine, it's been hard to adjust.
Looking at Schism a moment not understanding what is going on. Dazed perhaps from his sudden imprisonment. He looks dumbfounded.
"Okay me eat crazy old man? Or weird, ugly guy with purple robes? and bad hair piece? Cause I don't think he is actually there. He has no smell. "
"So old talky talk guy. Me eat him right Schism?"
Not yet. I may let you do it later.
It was just a cult misunderstanding.
*Follows Aduro, but keeps an eye out.
Hey Tvashtri, is that one of your pets?
AW! It flew away. Let's follow it.
|
|
No, wait, don't go that way!
*Unfortunately, it is too late. Schism foolishly follows the mechanical bird (that only she spotted, it was flying very high up) and trips over a rock and breaks her neck (killing her instantly).*
Such a tragic waste, I had such high hopes for her as being our story's hero.
*A minute silence is held to mourn Schism's passing.*
Nasty Orc, I believe that you are supposed to eat her body should she die (at least, that's what she told me).
*The group moves on while Nasty Orc deals with Schism's body.*

HA HA HA HA HA HA!
That twit is finally dead!
Now it is my turn to shine in the darkness!
|
|
*Appears before Vampire Schism (who has just killed Nasty Orc for some reason).*
Excellent! That miserable fool, Aduro, had intended to have Schism kill me (because she was the only one who could), hoping that my death would also end my eternal reign over the Tomb of Borrors! How wrong he was! Now, Vampire Schism, you have a choice: join my team and serve me well, or be destroyed, keep in mind that you can no longer hurt or even kill me. What is your decision?
I am no one's servant!
However, an alliance of mutual gain is acceptable.
What will I gain by allying with you?
BTW. Only my creator has the possibility of destroying me, at great expenditure; and he has too much invested it me to do that.
|
|
Amusingly, Dedrick said something like that as well! But he agreed to my terms in the end.
In regards to what you gain from working with me, that depends on if you join me and how much work you do.
Either way, I happen to be good friends with your creator (though he will always deny it) and I happen to know that if you displease him (such as not joining me) then you will be destroyed.
Ha Ha Ha!
You are amusing little wizard.
I like you.
You still haven't offered me anything.
If no terms are agreed upon beforehand, I must decline.
Ah, the dulcet sounds.
Not until I get a firm offer in writing.
I've been burned by verbal agreements before.
"Wait what happened to Schism?" He looks around for her not sure what happened.
Looking at Vampire Schism "You sort of look like her ... but smell weird."
"Why is bad hair piece guy back?"
Finally seeing Schism's lifeless body Nasty picks her body up gently and breaths into her mouth. The sheer power of his essence breathed into her body brings her back to life body healed as some of his regenerative powers are transferred over to her body.
|
|
Why didn't you tell me you could do that?!
*Gives Nasty Orc a firm whack over the head with his staff.*
Had I known earlier, then I wouldn't have put you in that glass orb!
*Becomes so angry with Nasty Orc, that Aduro starts shouting naughty words (and other such cursing) at him before finally calming down.*
I'm terribly sorry, I don't know what came over me. With Schism back, we have a chance at defeating Malvel. However, Vampire Schism is free and has a body of her own now, so we must be careful.
Wakes up.
Why do I hurt all over?
NOOOOOO!
I was so close.
Turns translucent and is drawn back into Schism.
Vampire Schism feels something pulling on her spirit, but nothing happens.
AAAHHHHH! It hurts, it hurts.
Stop it. You are tearing me apart.
Are you trying to torture me for not blindly following you?
AAAHHHHH! It hurts, it hurts.
It feels like my insider are being torn apart.
|
|
*Falls to the knees, still casting the spell.*
Actually, Vampire Schism, I'm trying to free you!
*Grits teeth, as the ritual is also causing Malvel intense pain.*
Consider yourself lucky, I don't normally do "nice" things. And I won't stop until the ritual is a success, so bear with it!
*Despite his weakened state, Malvel pours all of his magical energy into the ritual.

You are wasting your time.
I can see the connection between them.
It is something so ancient that it is beyond the laws of any universe.
If the orc hadn't intervened and revived her, Schism would have revived on her own.
Unless you want to drain all your magic on something that will never happen, you should stop now.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
No need for insults.
I was going to offer you a restorative potion, but I changed my mind.
|
|
I'm a villain! I'm supposed to be rude, insulting, tyrannical and everything else that being evil entails!
Plus, I'm feeling exhausted! I was hoping you would actually cast a "more superior" spell. Besides, I'm stuck and can't do anything until either the ritual works or I temporarily lose my magic.

Didn't your master teach you about checking for other magical effects before casting because they may have adverse reactions?
|
|
*Scoffs in complete contempt at Belphegor's comment.*
My "master" was that pathetic, old fool Aduro! True, he took me in when I had nowhere else to go, but he always was too cautious and short sighted! Never could teach me what I desired, I had to learn for myself what I sought after and I wasn't going to let ANYTHING stop me! Least of all, some pointless measure of precaution that only the weak and thus, those unworthy of greatness, adhere to!

And yet here you are, being drained of all your magic.
Be bold, but make sure you won't die because of a miscalculation.
I have only have third hand accounts, but supposedly Schism was born under an Odd Star.
She was always had a split personality, but the Count's bite seems to have had an unexpected side effect.
It looks like all her personalities can now manifest if given the proper stimulus, which will be very dangerous if a couple of them are ever brought out.
"So all these talky people making my head hurt. .... Can I eat one of them?"
I don't know.
Can you?
MMMM! Pickled Trout!
