(Far from Excolo)
I couldn't leave Excolo fast enough. Of course, my first thought was to seek out my Lady Lilith. But in my weakened state...? No. that would never do. Instead, I drifted out of town, siphoning energy from those that I passed. Just a little, not enough to harm anyone, or more to say, be apparent and obvious. A little here, a little there....
Until there was enough that I was able to keep a physical shape. A lion walked the roads out of town that night, padding along silently with no direction. But I realized I had a direction... a faint energy pulling me, growing stronger as I traveled. As dawn broke the sky, I came upon a sign: Mt. Zion, populat-- , but it was too badly damaged to read the rest. I know this town, know the name, but how? Where?
Oh! Thats right! The little girl... Alice! She was from here! Well, this should be interesting.
Not interesting.... not anything. There's nothing left. No habitable buildings, the one's on the outskirts of town damaged beyond repair, the ones closest to the center, obliterated, just shells or timbers. No people either. The living, if there were any, had feld, and the rest, dead. I can feel their lingering energies around bits of shattered and charred bones the closer I get to the epicenter of the energy. Mt. Zion looks as if a bomb were dropped in the center of town. Little Alice, what did they do to you? What did they try to do to you? What did you wreak on them for thier ignorance and fear? I would have pondered on it more, but there was still energy coiled in the burnt ground, energy wavering over the dead. I soak it all in, drawing it into myself....
until I was stronger. Until I could shift again, and take flight as a winged demon.
I headed south, down to the gulf coast. To the remains of a grand city once known as New Orleans. The apocalypse came and went, and the known world shuddered and unmade itself... but after a tragedy in the early twenty-first century, the engeneers of the government got it right. With the urgings of President Jean-Pierre Eastwood, former governor of Lousiana, they rebuilt the levee that kept the Cresent City safe... and it held, even after the end of the world. I head there, and taking the form of a firey lion, stroll down the streets past the cities of the dead. The superstitious know me here. Call me a God. Give me tribute and worship. So that is were I have spent my time since my release from Lucien. Walking amongst the faithful, the damned... lording over their voodun ceremonies and fire dances, gathering all the energy I can.
But I am stronger now... almost back to my full potential. It is time for me to return to Excolo. Return to my Lilith. And to rid myself of the last of my Light I have kept hoarded within me. I will no longer need it. I will never regret again. I will show Ahura Mazda I have rejected him completely... and laugh at his divine word. I will use his own Light against him...
It is time.
With a determination I have never known, I take to the skies and head north. Back to Excolo.
