A symphony of destruction resounds from the heavens as the quartet of holy Zoas blow their trumpets in their role as the harbringers of Apocalypse. The clouded skies BREAK ASUNDER as an incredibly bright ray of light beams down from the skies! A shape, surrounded by a fuming globe of divine fire slowly descends along the trail of light. Valentina shivers in pious fear that is filled with immense respect and humility. Valentina forces her trembling lips to yell ... 'REPENT YOU MINIONS OF DARKNESS! KNEEL BEFORE THE SERAPHIM! KNEEL!' You sear in the intense heat as the blindingly bright being of fire descends the trail of light. Your hatred compels you to attack Seraphim! Seraphim exclaims 'BEHOLD!' Seraphim exclaims 'I am Seraphim, an Archangel of the highest choir of Heaven. I am second in command of the highest celestial thread. I guard the Heaven and Earth, I tread across the space and and time and maintain the power of all that is Good upon the cosmos. On my command I wield the celestial judgement with inpunity. I seek out and purge the minions of darkness and the unliving. I am the incarnation of holy fire. And now that I have stepped my foot on this realm, I will exempt you from your sinful life. By fire will thy souls be purged!' Seraphim tells you 'Brace thyself, troll for thine doom is nigh!' A thread of energy flows from Seraphim to Sister Valentina, enclosing her in a sphere of benign magics. Seraphim says 'Sister Valentina, your soul is bound to me. You shall endure no harm whilst I am alive.' ############################################################################### gigantic measures. Meanwhile its exterior slowly changes; its hands extend and the fingers turn into claws; its wings merge together to form a massive pair of wings who span across a space ranging from twenty to thirty meters; its skin changes hue from bold white to fiery red and grows an overlapping set of scales which cover every inch of its exterior. Its humanoid-legs turn into massive clawed hind legs both bearing a set clawed toes; a great spiked red tail grows from the junction point of its hind legs. Finally as the transformation is complete, a gargantuan fiery serpent looms before you, fire bursting involuntarily from its nostrils. ############################################################################### 3177876: Seraphim, an Archangel High General of the First Celestial Triad Valentina exclaims 'You.. you fiends!! You shall never defeat me!' Valentina says 'Convent of the White rose shall be our final battleground.' Valentina vanishes. lizing all her strength, she heaves her hand toward the sky and manages to send a final whisper with her dying breath '..L-Las.. W..hy-y..ha..av..ave yo...yo...youu fo..fo..fo.. forsak...' Her lifeless body lets out a faint *THUD* as it hits the ground... ... and then silence. A voice booms from the heavens 'Dear Valentina, I have not forsaken you, and you shall not die yet, for your task is far from being completed.' A thick ray of light races down from the heavens and takes Valentina in its embrace. Valentina stands up, wholly healed by the ray. Valentina exclaims 'Your work has been in vain, mortals. You should see by now that Good always triumphs!' Valentina says 'And now you shall die.' A dark shadow, radiating coldness, rises from the ground. It takes a corporeal form of a skeletal man, clad in black hood, who wields a sharp bone scythe in its hands. Death intones in a chilly voice 'IT IS TIME, VALENTINA.' A voice booms from the heavens 'Death! Valentina is under my pro..' Death intones in a chilly voice 'NO MORE PROCRASTINATION, LAS. THE TIME IS RIPE FOR THIS SOUL TO BE HARVESTED TO THE AFTER-DEATH.' Death lets out a smug grin. Death intones in a chilly voice 'I HEAR DRAEN-DALAR HAS SPECIAL PLANS FOR THIS SOUL. IN HELL.' A voice booms from the heavens 'No! DEATH, I COMMAND YOU TO..' Death intones in a chilly voice 'TIME IS DUE FOR THIS SOUL.' Death swings his scythe and cuts through Valentina. An ethereal form is torn from Valentina's sagging body. A voice booms from the heavens 'NOO!' The barrier of light around Sister Valentina dims and vanishes completely. Death, clad in black, lets out a smug grin at you 'WE WILL SEE AGAIN' before vanishing through the ground. Murky clouds gather above Convent of White Rose. The bells of the Convent of the White Rose boom a message of grief throughout the realm... *BOMMMM* .... *BOMMMM* ... *BOMMM* ... *BOMMM* ... *BOMMM* ... *BOMMM* ... *BOMMM* ... *BOMMM* ... *BOMMM* ... *BOMMM* ... And then, deafening silence falls upon the realm. You feel a great loss in your heart. You feel EXHAUSTED! Shadow of Draen-Dalar eerily echoes 'Now that the wench is dead by mortal hands, and thus out of the protective reach of Las, I can finally get my hands on that sacred relic without beginning an upheaval in heavens.' Valentina is DEAD, R.I.P. 130084: Sister Valentina the Chosen of Saints ############################################################################### 1289667: Abbess Abigail leader of the convent First time I've lead this. 83 templars, lotsa crimson points :)
