Bad Breath

there is a fog moving quickly, WAIT …. this is no fog
I am laying on my side, I can see Sparky kicking, he’s convulsing, he’s dying …..I am dying…no, no … can’t stop coughing
Sitting in front of a fire…it’s roaring…the embers are glowing bright
look to the right and I see Sparky
… chasing his tail…..not his tail, bacon….a tail made of bacon …. he keeps chasing it, he looks distressed, he wants to yelp but he can’t
look in front of me, the fire is burning but … as it moves up it turns to ice … ICE …. Nix ?
Nix is on the other side of the fire, flicking her finger little ice balls hit the tip of the flames….and then they become ice
“yep you let them down, just like you let me down, Rälzik, your mother, Hecca …. your step father…and especially your friends…you always let them down….failure…..”
Nix make the sign of L with fingers and brings up to her forehead and as she does ….
Kossuth slowly rises out of the center blocking out Nix…..standing behind him are other Tieflings. They are suited up for battle. They look at you and are laughing.
“Ozus, oh my child …. you might be joining your brethren soon … I can always use another Disciple of the Phoenix …. your father despite being a Disciple of the Salamander might put a good word in for you …. you can join him …. always looking for new souls to fuel the war”
I turn to the left, Ezra …. his face is being stretched, no his body …. wait …. points a hammer at me
“Take it…..grab the Hammer….stop looking at the fire….TAKE IT….”

the fire goes out and there is Paladin on his knees holding his sword, the point is in the ground….I look closer….
FATHER!!!!

out of nowhere and demon rushes up behind the Knight and whispers ….
it’s time to choose ….
