What Has Been Done Can Be Undone

"Stay away from me Hanlon!" Hanlon had brought no one with him because why would he? The illusion was not needed anymore he wasn't human, probably never really was. I was feeling all explodey, Morley had kept his distance for the obvious reason Hanlon waited at the end of the hall way he was unarmed for what I could see.

"No Mr. Hanlon come get your friend I'm done with him." Hanlon stayed where he was, I did see he looked over at the hand of the Fire God almost as if noting its presence not that he would need it or anything, I don't know if he could touch it, I mean I'd seen it destroy people before, but Hanlon isn't a person, I couldn't recall if he ever handled the weapon.

"Death magic how quaint Mr. Morley." Morley didn't show the surprise but I could tell he was smugly expecting Hanlon not to pick up on the magic he had used on me. I was standing between the both of them, in a way I'm sure this was some kind of grand metaphor of my life of standing between awful and worst (I'll leave you to figure who is who). Hanlon strode towards me, I wondered what it would be like to explode and then he waved a hand and the feeling went away. It was the oddest thing, one minute about to explode, the next was perfectly fine.

"Not possible." Morley now was showing his surprise, it was nice for him to be horrified instead of doing the horrifying. Hanlon laughed, a real mirthful laugh like what Morley had said was the funniest thing he ever heard.

"I'm leaving Mr. Morley, now you know the limits of your ability think about this the next time you bother to try and kill me as if you could even come close. Come Trezlan." I retrieved the Hand and for a moment figured I'd shoot Morley with it just to check to see if it could kill him, but Hanlon shook his head and I left with him (we took the stairs well I took the stairs hanlon just disappeared. At least going down them was easier then going up them, but still by the time I was done I wanted to die.)

This was it for me though, I was done people making me into bombs getting transported to weird dimensions against my will, Morley... I was through I wanted nothing to do with anyone and so I went to the docks with some money and some weapons (not the hand though damned thing was cursed everytime I used it something bad happened) and just left on the first ship carrying me anywhere. Which turned out fantastic, here's a hint, NEVER EVER DO THAT!
