As soon as he had impugned the preeminence of the nechromantic nightmare, Oceanus found himself subject to a calamtitous flurry of hateful assaults. With no concern to its own well-being, his assailant put Oceanus stalwardness to a poignant evaluation. And though he held fast, one thing was clarified: Though in itself a wise assessment of the world, a laissez-faire lifestyle of relaxed harmony was balm for the soul, but useless for the body. And where his robust build and natural gifts were short of overpowering the enemy, it was his quandary with harmony that set the foundation of his oncoming demise.

Those who want peace must prepare for war.

Forced onto the defensive by the templars abhorrent onslaught, Oceanus was unable to invest himself in an attack on the enemy. His judgement of the situation was entirely correct. His stamina would fail him long before the deathless bones would give him a vistas of respite, and what previously needed three of his companions simultanously became a bitter fragment of the past. If he wanted to truely land a decisive blow, he would have to accept a trade of high cost.

AN unasked questions immediatly wormed itself in both heads....H.P.Lovecraft. Was that all...fiction? The horrific implications only a shred of truth held left a bitter aftertaste. Was that all...impossible? Pray it was indeed impossible.

She nods and smirks contentedly seemingly taking great pleasure in having knowledge of this particular story.
It's a nice one I find the protagonist amusing though.I read it online so it's possible I could have missed some things the original paperbound copy had unfortunately.

Oceanus grits his teeth as he keeps himself just out of the range of the skeleton. He looks about for somehing to give him an edge, maybe some long forgotten wood structure to position himself in front of for the skeleton to knock over onto itself, or maybe a flash of steel long forgotten in the bowels of this asylum?

Elise was frozen, her back against the wall, her eyes staring at the skeleton that was looming over Oceanus. Waves of pain still echoed from her wound, her hand covered in her own blood as she took it away. Eventually as the skeleton began to overpower him, she moved. Her hands searching the ground as she looked for another weapon.

Fixated on the adversary with unblinking obduracy, it was the smell that first caught their attention. A thick cloud of ammonia and urea that stung so heavily in eyes and throat, it would have nearly killed Oceanus, for closing his eyes for even a moment, or his body being shaken by a fit of coughing may have been enough to end this bout. In a situation so grimm, it took unwavering optimism that only Oceanus could produce however, when Morganas labor bore fruit.

With the sound of a tearing membrane of organic nature, the bloody writings had given way for an entry from a place that was better left unexplored. From the stinking, foggy darkness of this nightmare, a gooey tentacle of grey color slithered its way into our world, corrupting it with its presence. Bulbous, bubbling suction cups adorned with tiny, hook-like protrusions of chitin covered it in irregular, nonsensical intervals along most of its length, whereas the final stretch, about half a meter in length split into uncountable grasping and prodding feelers, that moved chaoticaly, but with clear purpose. This abominable flesh, muscles and membranes, cartilage and sinew obeyed Morganas command, and seized up the templar. Or perhaps it had just taken offense in this meat-less being, so much unlike itself. Immobilized as such, Oceanus finaly caught a moment of respite, and a bit of laughter nearly escaped him at the grotesque display.


"Quick.....this...huff...is harder than it looks..."

Blood was dripping from Morganas tearducts.

Elise froze as she saw Morgana's creature, her efforts at finding a weapon immediately forgotten. She backed away quickly into the corner and stared at the two monsters, wishing that she could be anywhere but here right now.

Oceanus chuckles grimly as he stalks up to his opponent, now trapped by a creature so familiar but also otherworldly. With a final effort, Oceanus raises his iron, and strikes the final blow against the skeleton, putting both his fears and the fallen templar to rest.

The foe finaly subdued, Oceanus weapon was brought upon it pitilessly, and the creatures skull gave way to the iron in an eerily ready fashion. The adrenaline receeded, and vigor turned to exhaustion that dragged the valiant victor to his knees. The stinking hell-appendage that Morgana had allowed into this world remained, obdurantly clutching the lifeless remains, spreading its oily secretions and slopping fluids with each twitch of its chaotical, senseless arrangement of muscles.


"Hah...HAH! we did it. STupid skelleton as if some little necromancy could sto...huff..man...I am not doing so good."


Drained of all color, Morgana paid the price for her arrogance and hasty, imprudent application of blood-sacrifice. Still bleeding unobstructetly and having done so for a worrysome amount of time now, cardiovascular system gave out, along with her conscience as she fell to the ground like a tree that had lots its roots.
