Just distract him for as long as possible then make a run for the portal. I'll try to get out with TAAron before then." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other underworlds, other caretakers of the dead. From what I've seen, you don't even deserve to be called Lord of the Underworld. Your spirits are out there floating around aimlessly.

You have no right to go around destroying spirits. That actually makes me want to get TAAron away from you more, not less. Would you call that mist out there happy?" Wynn gestured. "Hey mist! Do something, anything, to indicate if you're happy or not!" The mist didn't respond. "See. It's no wonder I find necromancy so easy in this region of the multiverse.

The mists rushed some and into Wynn, pulling her up and away from Death, then back towards the portal. Wynn chuckled. "Well this is convenient." She whispered to the mist. It didn't stop pulling her away, but a little tendril of it snaked back into the castle, returning slightly larger than it had been before. "See ya, Death." Wynn said as she was pulled into the portal, grabbing the tendril of mist at the last second. Quote The mist just stole TAAron, if that's good with you.

If we got really close, like within less than a mile, I could scan for it's molecular structure, but that's not really helpful. Maybe I can do something with this little chunk...
