Yea she showed up at my door. I was pissed until I noticed she was covered in blood. But by the way she was smiling it probably wasn't hers.
A quick hug later she told me how happy she was to see me. I asked her where she had been.
Sagari: can I take a shower first?
I chuckled, embarrassed. I nodded and she went to take a shower and sat down in the chair dosing off. She woke me up about 15 minutes later clad only in a towel. I instantly woke up screaming a loud "What the hell!!" She raised a brow at this. She asked if I had some clothes she could borrow. I threw her some clothes covering my eyes. I'm sure my face was aflame. I'm not good in these situations.
She came back out my clothes slightly baggy on her. "You asked where I was?" She asked me.
I was snapped out my daze. "Uhhhh yea...."
"Let's just say I ran into some trouble."
"Uh okay. I guess I'm glad your here. I don't have the azoth yet. I've had trouble drawing him out. I'm not even sure how I plan to obtain the azoth. I guess I could cut off one of his tentacles. Though not sure how I'm going to pull that off..." I adopted a thinking look at this point.
"I have something for you that will probably help. I'll visit sanctuary and grab it later."
"Well Strider will be here in a couple of days to help me so..."
"Cool in the meantime I have a couple other things I'd like you to take care of." Her face turning serious. Taking out a list she handed it to me. It was a list of names. "I feel some proxies need to be taken care of."
Not bothering to look at the list I gave her a questioning look. "Whys that?"
"Their kill count is growing. They need to be taken care of."
"When you say take care of do you mean..."
"See to it as you see fit. Kill them, free them doesn't matter. Just get to it."
She went to leave. "Where are you going?"
"Sanctuary." She stated simply. "I'll be back later. Look over the list and pick your first target. Doesn't matter what order you choose. When I get back you'll get started." With that she left.
I quickly scanned the list. My eyes widened at some of the names. My heart dropped at the last couple in particular.
"Aww hell..."
The Wolf better not be on that fucking list Roy boy because if she is, if you try to lay a fucking finger on her, I will kill you
ReplyDeleteI...just..... I don't...why would Sagari make me...?
DeleteTo force a choice of loyalty. Effectively saying them or her. She doesn't want someone with any attachments to 'the opposite side', is what I'm thinking.
DeleteOf course, since this is the real world, this might not be the binary choice it looks like.
Ah, so this is why Fell was urging me to look here as soon as I woke up.
DeleteSagari intends to have you try to end me?
I would agree with Med's line of thought. Perhaps she is testing your loyalty or dedication to the cause, as Ritter has done to me on occasion. Maybe I'm a bad influence, in her eyes.
By the way, in your last post you spoke of how inspiring the thought of a mere human hurting Ritter was. I take no inspiration from that thought- not for the sake of my dear employer- but because I know how terrible people can be, and that's without the power one would need to hurt Ritter. Imagine how horrible a person might be if they had such power. Just a thought... sorry my friend, my mind is still waking up
Back to the point, I had hoped it would not come to this. I had no intention of harming you unless Ritter specifically ordered me to. That said, if you follow orders and attack... Understand that I will defend myself and Fell and Hart.
If one went through the great lengths required to obtain such power to defeat the fears I believe they would have human kind's best interest in mind.
DeleteAs for my mission I'm not sure what I should do. I told you before even if it was you who came after me I couldn't bring myself to hurt you. Even though I've changed to the point that there is no hesitance when I end a life I still don't think I could do it. I couldn't hurt you let alone kill you.
So I don't know what to do....
Hahaha oh my dear I'm not so sure about that. Many regular people have gone to great lengths to simply achieve power over other people. They were not benevolent. I'm fairly sure that if these same people could assert themselves over the fears they would. And they would not be altruistic.
DeleteI don't know what to say. I cannot make this decision for you. On the one hand, as I've said before, there are many who would thank you for my end. On the other hand, I don't want to harm you but I will have to if you go through with this.
On a slightly lighter note, if you do decide to come for me, I'd appreciate it if you would be so kind as to let me know. I'd like to take you out for a friendly dinner first. I would cook a meal for you myself, but I doubt you'd trust me enough for that.
