Death Becomes Her

by The Crimson Hero! Morrigan Maygal

Holding up a piece of fabric to Drake's chest Morrigan smiled warmly as she admired him and felt a skip in her heart. He looked down at her, "What is it?" Orri blushed and started sewing the blazer she was making for him to wear at Anaxa's party, "Nothing, just happy." She stitched and threaded with amazing speed finishing the blazer and placing it on him without sleeves. She studied it for a moment loving how good he looked with his arms exposed, Drake took advantage of her distracted state and they lost time. The disheveled demi-human scrambled and quickly made herself a Tykerian styled dress, a dress filled with star patterns and dark as the night sky, "I miss wearing proper dresses, it will really stand out from the himation, and soooo much easier to run in." She put on some finishing touches and she sorted out Drake and made their way to the Python's Scale. Nothing too strange usually happens on that ship.
 
"Aneprion!" Anaxa yelled into Orri's face. Her sweet little nephew, what could be happening?! Going full speed toward Aneprion's room running past the unconscious ex-stone hoplite. She saw her sweet nephew cowering from some horrific creature with no head, it looked strong, really strong. She looked forward to fighting it, but no, her nephew was more important. I'm perfect for the task of getting him out of here, she thought to herself. She dashed in and ran along the wall grapping the boy and making her escape with him. Getting a nice deep freezing slash for her efforts as she made it out into the hallway. A small sigh of relief, "Auntie Orri's got you, ok hun? Let's get you outside." She looked up the ladder and prepared to get him out of there when a blade cut her again, she shielded the boy as the beheaded creature appeared behind her and attacked again. He did some strange magic and caused her to crash into the floor.
 
After the fifth time of being lifted into the air and slammed into the ground, Orri switched gears and healed herself for a full assault. Switching strategies to absolute offense, she let out all her power on the evil thing. He quickly chipped away at her and she could feel her life draining, this ex-husband was strong and he needed to go down, she could see him weakening and had one more chance to heal herself, without a moments hesitation she forgoes healing and performed a Burning Volcano Combo, doing as much damage as she could in one last attempt to weaken it further, she succeeded...but Anaxa's ex-husband embedded his sword into her gut and the life quickly left her eyes. She collapsed onto the ground without a breath or any life left in her, her soul losing connection to her body. The captains worried for a moment knowing that Morrigan's Mother's "gift" might make it harder to bring her back to life. A desperate attempt to force her soul to stay in her body failed at first, panic starting to hang in the air. The Admiral slammed some revival energy into Orri and she gasped loudly sitting up catching her breath, "Whoa..."
 
Morrigan was truly dead, and the person who seemed to take it the hardest was Anaxa, as long as her nephew was safe Orri didn't seem to care.
