The Immolation, Part 2

Damien Black slips the taffeta from White Feather's shoulders, and she does not resist. She embraces him, kisses him deeply and lovingly, and strokes his erect penis with her soft hand. He moans life and death, enraged with passion. She slips from the tight black undergarment and now she is standing nude atop the funeral bier embracing him. Night has fully fallen. White Feather's tight hips now glisten in the light of the flickering
torches and bonfires of lust.

Undead circle the Wolves who are still on the ground, Camille and Enchandra. They begin to rip at clothes and tear at skin. Camille's clothing is ripped from her, piece by small piece viscously, until she is all but nude and completely unconscious. These undead are foul demons. Some have partial faces or are missing whole limbs. Others are missing eyes, ears or cheek flesh. One female elf is missing her left breast, and her loins have rotted away, leaving only bleached bone and sinew, where once was life-giving flesh. All the living dead smell of rotten meat and are crawling with maggots and ants. A vulture is perched on the head of one of these monstrosities, eating what it left of its face. Damien raises a hand and the undead cease their molestation of the female Wolves. They move some distance away, forming a circle about the hapless she-elves. The ghouls and zombies undulate in a killing, clawing wave -- eating each other and their living lovers.

The blonde man begins to chant "Ab Intra Nerros Coitus Victoria." Over and over he says these words, as he positions White Feather on her hands and knees. White Feather submissively assumes the required position and opens her hyacinth to the man, a glistening pink flower of womanhood. Damien pulls the oak quarterstaff from it hole in the bier and raises it over his head. He positions himself behind White Feather and lowers himself slowly to his knees. He rotates the quarterstaff over his head. "Ab Intra Nerros Coitus Victoria," the tattooed man chants as he roughly penetrates White Feather with the staff. He begins to stroke in and out of White Feather with the staff, deep enormous thrusts. The rhythm of movement in the Flesh Circle increases to keep time with the oak staff as it enters and exits White Feather. The sound coming from the valley floor, all the bodies engaged in a single act of passion, increases to a sonorous thunder.

The blonde man pulls the staff from White Feather's womanhood and penetrates her with his erect penis. All the living partners in the necrophillic dance ignite with real fire. Flesh melts from them. Their bodies crumble to piles of ash and bone, and their spirits mingle in a luminous swirl above the funeral bier. "Ab Intra Nerros Coitus Victoria." The swirling souls disappear, as if they are being sucked into the oak staff, and the staff begins to glow a luminous magical aura. Damien thrusts harder into White Feather. She screams a banshee scream of pleasure and passion. Damien raises his hand. Several female ghouls stand forth from the chaos, and their heads ignite, becoming balls of fire.

Damien trusts hard into White Feather, and you can hear the slap of flesh on flesh from your position yards away. White Feather gives a hollow scream, as she reaches transcendent ecstasy. She comes again and again, as evidenced by her rapid rhythmic screaming and the near-constant jerking of her hips. Damien strokes viscously now, savagely entering and exiting White Feather's nothing. He raises the staff, which is aglow with the power of death. The female ghouls bury their heads in the funeral bier and it ignites, buring quickly as dry grass. Camille's and Enchandra's legs, drenched in the noxious gas become sacks of gangrenous puss and rot. Each can feel the bones in their lower legs dissolve, go limp and they fall to the ground. The cloud dissipates immediately thereafter.

As the female ghouls burn, living he-elves position themselves behind the ghoulish women and enter them with erect penises. The ghouls howl. The females ignite the bier with hellish flames, and they too are set afire. The he-elves are also consumed in the conflagration. Damien raises his staff and chants, "Ab Intra Nerros et Coitus Victoria" and the swirling souls of the he elves are drawn into the Staff of Death. The glow of the staff brightens.

Damien grunts, low, animalistic and reaches orgasm, a moment of intense erotic pleasure and pain. He dismounts White Feather leaving her vagina covered with his seed. He positions the staff at the entrance of her womanhood. She moans, and arches her back to receive the magic wood. Damien moves the staff inside White Feather while keeping rhythm with her bucking hips. White Feather screams with delight and pain. The flames lick close to the wooden platform and consume it. White Feather begins to burn. Hair glows with fire. Skin melting from bony structure. Only her loins are momentarily untouched my the Gehennah atop the bier. Her face melts. Her eye socket steam with smoke. The holes of her nostrils become chimneys. Magically, Damien is untouched, and then you notice the single article that he is wearing, a simple gold ring. As the fire ghoul that it now White Feather screams her last repulsive orgasm, her spirit is drawn into the staff. "Ab Intra Nerros et Coitus Victoria." The sigils and runes on Damien's body begin to glow, and the fire crackles through the charred remains of the elf princess. Damien clutches what it left of White Feather's raven hair, pulls her charred neck taunt, and maniacally hacks off her head with the black dagger. He hold her head by the hair, and walks toward you.

Camille

Camille drops heavily to the ground and into merciful oblivion, though her body seems to unconsciously react to the ghouls' foul touches by writhing and shuddering of its own accord. Her eyes are shut tightly, almost in an expression of intense concentration, and crystalline tears cut paths through the dirt on her pale cheeks. With furrowed brows and a tightly clenched jaw, she tosses her head fitfully and whimpers broken words. "Fea.. F..Feather... N-No... No, Feather... N-Not ...you..." Her lips tremble as she moans incoherently, and violent tremors occasionally wrack her helpless, denuded form.

She begins sobbing in earnest as her once lean and shapely legs wither beneath her, though her wails are somewhat monotonous, as those of a woman crying out in her sleep. Camille's consciousness remains departed from her body throughout Damien's horrible invocation, though her eyes flutter wildly beneath their lids, and her involuntary gyrations increase to a fevered pitch as the enchantment nears completion. Her teeth bite into her lower lip until they draw blood. It is at that moment that Damien severs White Feather's head from her burned corpse, and Camille lurches to an upright position as if emerging from a nightmare. She begins to scream even before she sees Damien advancing with his grisly prize, but those cries strangle in her throat when she sees White Feather's once-vibrant face staring at her through empty eyesockets. Camille's face wilts like a dying flower, and the fire that so often graced her eyes is snuffed out like embers. The glance she casts at her wasted legs seems somehow secondary, and she immediately looks back up at Damien with a horrible expression of betrayal and despair.

Tears flow freely now, and her sobs come deep and silent, taking her breath, for no mortal sound can express the aching emptiness inside her. She falls over and curls up as best she can, oblivious to the dirt and rocks which scrape her face, and weeps soundlessly like a forgotten child whose very last hope has been ruthlessly destroyed.

Winsome Hawk
Winsome struggles in vain against the invisible restraints. The entrapment driving the elf near mad. In his peripheral vision he can barely see some of his comrades fall to the arcane paralyzing effect. Again Winsome throws himself against the power binding him to the tree, his need to rescue his friends driving him further and further into a berserk like frenzy. Spittle frothing from his mouth mixed with blood from where in utter frustration he has bit his lip ragged. Again and again the elf pushes against himself with all of his might. There is a sudden popping sound from his left shoulder, and something gives in the joint. The white hot searing pain tells of a dislocation but it is enough to jolt Winsome out of his frenzy for a moment. Sweat soaking his entire body he looks out upon the horror that enfolds before him...

In the haze of madness he perceives more than sees Camille's and Enchandra's legs becoming sacks of gangrenous puss and rot, the bones dissolving, going limp as they fall to the ground. The cloud dissipating immediately thereafter. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he screams, blood and spittle flying from his lips. A wailing cry emanating from the depths of his soul. The uncontrollable sobs racking his body as tears stream down his masked face, stinging his torn bloody lip. Slipping from rational thought further and further, racked in mental, emotional and spiritual pain his very essence being tested to its limits. Still he looks on for the worst is yet to come, and he cannot resist watching the macabre play work its way to the end...

Grief ridden Winsome beholds the living epitome of evil and horror. The fine and glorious White Feather consumed in flame... a living ghoul of ash and fire... "I have seen the Sun..." he whispers in a maddened lilt..."I have seen the Sun... I have seen the Sun..." the oily smell of cooked meat heavy in the air, then the dagger falls, torture of White Feather comes to an end at last. To Winsome's near broken mind her charred body falls in a slow liquid motion, thumping on the brier and showering out bits of burnt flesh, ash and gore. The hideous head being held aloft buy scraggled hair, still smoking, still locked in its final twisted ecstasy. Something in the sudden final defiling act caused a shivering rip throughout Winsome's being. Gone was the frenzied flames of despair. Replaced by a wave washing over him, icy cold and calculated, bringing on madness of a different kind... "And a shadow in her wake vain with power..."

He locks his sight on the approaching Necromancer. Cold as a snake he waits, to spring and kill is all he wants to do now. "

It is only I now..." he whispers to himself, sure the other Wolves have fallen. "And the Shadow will bite..."

In the end the mad Winsome Hawk does what he was trained to do, watch, lurk and listen. But his eyes show a different vision of the Wolf, mania has now settled there.

Korian Windsong
Through tear soaked eyes I watch the grisly scene. I want to scream, to deny the death of my beloved white feather, but no sound passes through my constricted throat. The salty wetness streams down my face but even that I am powerless to prevent. helpless if the Grip of this evil magic. And now, now The vile human comes toward us through the smoke and fire like a great winged Demon descending upon helpless prey. My Wolves, are in danger I think to myself. Quickly Imust think of a way to draw Damien's attention upwards, to me and me alone. no more of my elves will die today. not if I can help it. suddenly my throat clears and the scream that has been waiting behind it comes billowing forth. The scream becomes a lightning bolt spell. the incantation of it at least. I know that there will be no discharge of killing electricity for I cannot perform the hand gestures or reach my material components, but just maybe it will distract him long enough for one of the others to free themselves. As i shout the spell over and over I envision this foulest of creatures, the slayer of my white feather, hit by my destuctive lightning. Hie eyes smoking as did poor white feathers, his hair, standind on end before it catches fire, his body convulsing as the bolt sears his every nerve and finally tosses him back, a lifeless heap torn asunder by the sheer anger I feel. I will shout my spell until I am dead, or until i can move again. Then he will pay. Oh yes. He will pay dearly for what he has done.

Enchandra
The holy power rushes through the Priestess Enchandra's body as the spell comes to fruition and the tiny hairs on her body stand on end as if drawn to a powerful source of electrostatic charge. As the final expectant rush begins to take control of her body, the unthinkable happens as the gas takes its horrid effect.

Her mighty armour is no defence, the gas pouring through greaves and links and dissolving the bare skin underneath almost instantly, then muscle, tendon, and then bone. Enchandra looks down, the flow of power now interrupted as her entire body is clutched by an un-stoppable force, and she watches as if she was viewing this from another's eyes, another's mind.

Then, as the feeling pours into her numbed consciousness, she lets out an unearthly scream of pure, utter pain. Pain that runs so deep as to be unbearable but her will is such that it does not give in, does not fall back and surrender to the bliss of complete unconsciousness. Instead, images pour through her mind, bathed in the halo of blood and gore from the last thing she witnessed, that being the complete dissolution of her legs.

A canopy of trees whizz by, as if viewed by a bird, and the blood red sun beats down upon the leaves. The 'bird' plunges down, down at a dizzying speed, bursting through the canopy and down, down, into the nether reaches of the forest. The view changes, hovers dreamlike above two figures whom lie naked, intertwined as the roots of adjoining trees, the body of the female on top riding rhythmically upon the other, male, and she looks to the sky and screams in passion as she reaches the point of ecstasy. The face is of Enchandra, the male, her guide, her lover, and her mentor. The one who tried to show Enchandra that beauty is not only in the leaf, the tree, the earth, and failed...

The bird zips off into the canopy once again, deeper, deeper into the woods. Another figure is viewed, this time alone, a teenage Enchandra again, holding her arms in the air above her head and kneeling body. The wounds on her wrists are jagged, harsh and blood coats her arms as it flows from the wounds...

Again the little avian flies, and this time to an Elven house, the Oak tree old and ancient. In it an old mother Elf suckles a new-born... The scene changes, the mother gone, the father seemingly praying at an Elf's bed, but closer, closer, the view moves revealing clutching hands at a young Elves clothes, ripping, tearing, the man standing full and leaning over the screaming female elf...

Twittering off again, the images begin to blur by, a scene of holy wrath being wrought on fiendish zombies, their flesh erupting into boils, the bodies dropping into heaps around an enraged Enchandra, revealing her mother dead, barely recognizable, rended from stem to sternum...

... Enchandra running from a foe unknown, tears, whimpering...

.... branches tearing at fabric, finding skin, tearing flesh...

.... a drop of blood running down a fingertip...

.... falling into a pool of water, rippling the still surface...

.... a face visible, Enchandra's, weeping...

.... the body of her mentor at her feet...

.... fade to black...
