The Only True Cure Is No Cure

There are always awkward moments after something horrific passes. Those times you aren't exactly sure things are done so you just stand around looking like a moron to make sure nothing else comes you way. That's what happened to me and Mordere post Morley leaving. We just stood there. I mean of course I finally was able to undue the bad magic being worked on Mordere's child, but outside of that nothing. We kind of just stood around looking at each other, looking at the walls (its amazing how many things you can count when staring at a piece of wood paneling).

"He'll be back won't he?" Mordere sounded almost human, I guess caring for a child can soften up even the hardest killers.

"For you? Probably not, for me? Yeah I'll see him again, and again, and again. He didn't care about you so much as knew that you were an avenue to get to me." Morley does a lot of things, caring about the Followers of Fire is not something he'd even think about.

"Is there anything I can do to prevent his kind of magic?"

"Nope necromancy is a bastard like that, blood magic works on just about anything." I've proven that several times already, "Only thing I could think of would be etching into your bones a spell to replinish your life with every life taken, but I don't think anyone would be that crazy especially to do it to a child." Thank the gods Mordere was not that crazy, still the bone etching thing is something I've rolled around in my head before, the major issue of course is when you can see your own bones things have gone horribly wrong and you aren't thinking about etching them with spells. You could try a tattoo or something similar but that can be defeated by other means and its more obvious, bone etching would be damn near undetectable and impossible to get rid of outside of pulling the bones out.

"Thank you for your efforts Lorentino." It was stunning to hear that from Mordere, I was massively perplexed. So I left. Got to go out on top is what I always say! And by on top I mean after bluffing my way past my mortal enemy and allowing him to escape unscathed after causing misery to a small child. You have to redefine top to what fits best!
