Morley You Are An Ass

"And now the real asshole emerges." I'll admit I'm not exactly Mr. Civility with my sworn enemy of the centuries.

"You've been here the whole time Trezlan."

"You've here the whole time."

"That doesn't even make sense."

"Doesn't it?"

"Would you both just shut up before I shoot you and find someone else to clear up this necromancy." Mordere ever the mediator. Still I stand behind my assertion Morley is an Asshole, to be perfectly honest I've probably made him sound even nicer than he is in reality. Because in reality he's an asshole of assholes.

"Yes Trezlan do be quiet before I kill the both of you." Mordere fired once, the bullet hit something in front of Morley and shattered. Whatever magic was protecting Morley, it could take a direct hit from a god's own weapon, that was something very strong.

"What in the madness?" Mordere was surprised as well, I could almost see fear in his one functioning eye.

"Mr. Mordere you may be a lot of things, unpredictable is not one of them, now stand aside and let me kill my enemy and then I'll kill you." It was nice to be thought of as Morley's enemy if only because it meant he cared.

"Morley I wouldn't take a step forward if I were you."

"Oh some weak hack of a spell your going to launch at me Trezlan?"

"Launch? No I'm not going to launch anything, what is standing between you, me, and Mordere is a fairly potent blood shield. I used the death of your little assistant here to enact it, so you may have blocked Mordere's shot, but my spell will block your everything." He looked at me with contempt, then again he started that way so maybe I should say, he kept looking at me with contempt.

"You're bluffing."

"Do you really want to test my ability with the memories of our dearly dead master floating around up here? I've got several nasty little spells I'd love to lash you with." I did have a couple I wanted to unleash on him, but seeing as he caught me with my figurative magical pants down, I had to make due with what I had.

"Mr. Mordere you are lucky today, though you weren't my target of course, if you come after me Trezlan's petty bullshit will not be standing between us and you will die. Trezlan please fall on something rusty soon, I tire of you being around out there giving me a bad name." Morley left, I of course did not presume he left so I waited with Mordere in absolute silence for about half a day.

"You were bluffing weren't you?"

"Good gods yes, I don't have a shield spell that could block a cold."
