orpheus -- 13d's own testing board

You and I, and Mime...We were the first, you remember? It was glorious, surging forth on the rising tide of righteous destruction. There were always others, but they walked in our footsteps, followed us across the sands of time. We rose like a golden wave, glinting and fierce. Incubus, my friend, my youth has gone - and yours as well. But we are still together; Funny. Even death could not seperate us! Mime died, I died, and you went mad. I have returned, Mime shall return when another is sacrificed..And the 'trio' shall be whole once more. Incubus, Incubus, you look at me with eyes so dark and pained...Let me help you, I want to save you from this pain. Night Walker had been gazing at Incubus through half-closed eyes, to save himself the sorrow of what was in the insane other's eyes. But now he opened them fully, and though the full impact of this made a visible shock through the old stallion's body, he gritted his teeth and plowed forth with grim determination. He did not blink, mesmirized by the incredibly claret insanity of the anguish. His breathing grew fast and shallow, and a minor gust stirred about him, the winds confused about the odd process their wielder was going through. Little flames sprang across his hide, not harming him, creating the effect of a shadow-fire creature. Still he held on and gazed at his comrade. If he had to endure this..then Night Walker would too.

Incubus..You are not nothing.
I am here, and I see your sorrow...it...agh!
I do not know how you stand it, friend.
Hang on...She will return.
Bite down and hold it, boy.
I've never known you to back down from a challenge yet.
Are you going to let some fool stone overcome you?
He could not be killed, yet you killed him.
It cannot be defeated..BUT IT CAN!
There will be a way found.
Don't you ever let me see you give in, Incubus.
Never.
