You do have what would be an excellent plan - to go recruit the aid of Miss Rasputina. I had been summoned to Limbo under the pretense that she needed my aid in squashing a rebellion. It had been a lie, a trick used to lure me to my grave. Magik is not in Limbo. I do not think she knows what is happening here - and I do not think you will be able to reach her. I wish I could tell you this, but I am forbidden from interfering. All I can do is watch. I cannot council you three to stay together. I cannot give you advice on your quest. 

	I am no longer Stephen Strange, Sorcerer Supreme. I belong to Death. 

	[i]Hey, come and untie us![/i] Butter Rum prompted in your minds. 

	[i]Yeah, let's get out of this fucking nightmare place,[/i] Mercymorn echoed in agreement. The skeletal horses were staring through the window hopefully.

	Sym stared at you for a moment, Madalyne, as if he were actually considering it. But he did not achieve his position in Limbo by being an idiot. "How about I add [i]more[/i] shackles?" he sneered. He spat in your face. Ananym's screams rose to a crescendo, before abruptly falling off. "Aww, show's over I guess," Sym lamented. "We'll eat her tonight - and it'll all be because you said [i]no[/i]." 

	He brought down his spiked club again, this time connecting with your kneecap. The pain is horrible. Like it or not, a scream escapes through your lips. Sym raises the club, about to bash in your skull, only to stop suddenly. Another demon has entered the torture chamber. 

	"Lord Sym, the Sorcerers Supreme are here - they've approached the castle," the demon squeaked. 

	Sym paused for a moment, before letting a deep laugh out of his belly. He looked at you. "Waste not, want not, right?" he said.

[hr][hr][/center]	Runa felt someone walk into her, and she stumbled forward clumsily. She caught herself with her staff, using it to gain traction. The voice behind her apologized - Annika. In Annika's native tongue, she said: [color=#a81a75]"it is alright, little one."[/color] Annika, much like Prudence, reminded Runa somewhat of her own daughters. They were part of the shadows now, forever suspended above in the heavens, freed of the crushing wheel of fate and destiny. 

	She could no longer dry their tears. Their heart ached in that moment, but they had no one but themselves to curse. No one else to blame. They had broken the cycle. They had formed the shadow god out of the aspect of every single person they loved. She had set them free. She had imprisoned herself in their place. 

	Prudence was bold and quippy, whereas Annika was courageous and reserved. She adored them both. She hoped she didn't have to kill them. 

	Weak, noodle like arms embraced her. She smelled a fine perfume. Max then. They snorted slightly. [color=#a81a75]"It is nice to see you, too,"[/color] they quipped. They knew it wasn't a greeting hug though - or even one designed for comfort. They knew it the moment their feet left the ground, and they felt a sense of weightlessness, of upward propulsion. It wasn't long until her feet found purchase on the ground again. 

	She didn't need to be able to see the castle - she could feel it now, the waves of pure evil emanating off of it. [color=#a81a75]"Something is wrong here,"[/color] they sensed. They reached a withered old hand out, as if they could see through gnarled fingers. [color=#a81a75]"Our enemy is not what she seems."[/color]

	The doors to the castle opened. A demonic hoard appeared. It was led by a Sorcerer Supreme. It was led by Madalyne Crane.
