Outside the circles, in the mioddle of the room. A woman is kneeling, muttering and chanting and concentrating. The man gets up and answers the door. muffled voices, a head pokes through the door and stumbles backwards, out of room. Magnus closes door and watches Malachy.
I... can't remember how i got here.
I can' see anything.
All i can feel is pain and burning and a gnawing feeling; help me - i've fucked up!
*snarl* fucking die; you will feel me crushing your fucking head under my boot, you worthless piece of shit, i feel the urge to destroy you- i know that i have to kill you and your pussy little friends and little pawns of the alliance; and you, and you and everyone nearby. you can't fucking kill me - you don't know how. fuck; i don't know how! so give your best fucking shot, because when you waiver... i'll wake you up with one hand round your throat the other in your stomach crushing your heart.
...What are you doing, stop fucking shooting me, stop fucking cutting me... you little bastard i'll kill you slow and rip your fucking suit up and slice you with your sunglasses... fucking stop. i. what the. why can't i move my shoulders?
i can hear fluttering of wings but see nothing. my shoulders burn so much i can't move them. i can just hear murmering - almost as if it's a different channel thats out of tune... i need help i can't do this by myself. i've failed, i can't fail theres too much at stake.
i hope the others are ok. Chaos. Al'Rahel. Lupo - poor Lupo. none of us expected that. a warriors death but a loss we did not and could not afford. I can't end like this. I need to undo whats happened to me
GEORGE 'FUCKING' MANNING - he did this!!!
*snarl* how dare you trap me!!!! i can't.. feel... anything- what the fuck have you done to me?!
*strains, tries to move and agony rolls over his body*
i need to think straight and see. where am i, how can i fix this, how can i stop from getting stuck like this again - i panicked - thats why. Whats stopping me? Why can't i heal? i didn't heal quick enough. i'm not string enough. i need to learn more. I need.. what was that womens name again... i can remember a crow following me.
Morrigan... help me please, you said something about me believeing in you... well so far no-one else has done anythign for me. God or gods they ignored me. You Listened. you saw my heart and my soul. you know i can prove my worth to you however you deem worthy.
*slumps unconscious*
Magnus does not move at first - Malachy is pinned and has no essence. He is shut off for now from whoever is controlling him. But this cannot last for long. we cannot pause or make a mistake. Sensing no movement from Malachy, Magnus quietly move back to his spot and mediates to rest and prepare for when he must take over the control incantations.
