"You are not seriously going to do this are you?" Valrym was outside in a delightful fur coat, I say delightful because it was hilarious looking and thats all that matters to me. I was currently working on a spell that would sacrifice half the city and use that life force to destroy the cold for at least a couple months. In theory anyway.
"You say that like this is a bad idea."
"It is a very bad idea." I didn't even know if it would work mind you, but I was tired of being cold and if the deaths of thousands solved that, win win, for me at least you know, less idiots on the streets right?
"You say that about all of my ideas Valrym, this one will work I know this because its never been attempted before there in it has to work!" Flawless logic.
"Trezlan you can't sacrifice an entire town..."
"Half a town, and only the worst half, shorties, stupid people, people who step on the back of your shoe because they are clumsy oafs! Killing them to unfreeze the rest of us is best for society!"
"Half a town, whatever Trezlan this plan is stupid if you insist on going through with it I'll stop you myself." He readied some kind of hammer that looked unpleasant. Now I knew I could probably kill Valrym under normal circumstances, but drawing all the sigils and working the magic in the absurdly low temperatures had sapped me of my strength.
"You want this ugly weather? You want all this suffering? I can stop all of it!"
"No you can't Trezlan, you'll only add to it and thats not a solution." It was all the solution my life ever gave me! But as bad as it was Valrym was right, I couldn't stop the cold most likely (I say most likely I still believe it was possible.)
"Oh all right you win, I'll not sacrifice half the town." Crisis averted I went back inside, I didn't want to admit it, but I too had come down with the malady affecting the town. And thats when I knew Valrym was in on the plot! Or that's what my crazy flu ridden mind thought was going on. I mean lets be honest even on my best days I'm not that coherent in belief!
