Liliana Vess Defiant Necromancer

Liliana appeared in Kothophed's throne room in a cloud of black, inky vapor, already wearing the Chain Veil that Kothophed had sent her to retrieve all those many months ago. Well, she had, in a roundabout fashion, completed her task. She had fetched the Veil and now had brought it back to him. She just had no intention of giving it to him. The only thing she would be delivering to Kothophed today was his death.

Finally.

The first of four. But mostly certainly not the last. ( Before she was done, all of the demons that had thought to own her soul, to enslave Liliana Vess, would lie broken and bleeding at her feet. )

Kothophed was flakes of ash and drops of burning blood and Liliana swayed on her feet. She was exhausted and in pain, light-headed and more than a little dizzy. Red trailed down one of the chains of the veil and, confused, she pulled it off to see what it was.

Blood. Bright, rich, red, human blood. Her blood. Her skin was slick with it. "Oh," she said, looking at the ever-widening pool at her feet. Her eyelids were heavy and she was starting to shake and shiver, suddenly very cold. Both a necromancer and healer-trained, she knew that this much blood was a very bad sign, but she couldn't bring herself to care. There was only one thing worth thinking about as she used the last of her strength to step into the Blind Eternities and stagger back to Fandom.

"One down."
