"So you're saying a child of pure magic gave you this cure to give to me and that it will fix me, and it will not kill me because you personally want to do that?" I was back home, Morley was waiting for me though he was wearing all kinds of layers and a mask to hide the fact he was rotting (I saw parts of his face had literally fallen off). We were in the back of his expensive car he was looking suspiciously at the vial I had given him.
"Morley I had to kill several people to get here, please just take that shit and get better so I can kill you later." Several burning horrific deaths and waiting for a boat to kill other people. I actually offered the sick and dying the option of staying and dying on the island, most of them chose not to, some did though, I'm sure the magical creature abided them. Thankfully the guys on the boat were much more reasonable about letting us on seeing as I threatened to kill all of them if they did not.
"Well when you put it like that." He drank the vial and he seemed to be fine, I mean he was still Morley, but he looked fine to me, mostly I can't tell Morley is a douche most of the time, but the rot cleared up.
"So we're done I'm done we won't be seeing each other anymore?"
"Until you fail to kill me, sure we're done." He opened the door to his car and I got out a free man. I was happy, sad I'd helped Morley but happy I was done with him! Thank the gods it was over, I whistled on my way home having dealt with another shitty scenario. I collapsed into my chair and waited for the next one.
"So this is what the rest of the world has become? Interesting." Of course, of course the gods damned child of magic or whatever it was had tagged along in the stupid vial and what I'd actually done is not necessarily cure Morley as infect myself with a creature that took mirth in murder and would not die. So basically I brought myself home. The joys of being Trezlan.
