Mors checks to make sure Heph will be alright and attempts to bandage a few of his wounds, then gives Cloud to orders to carry the injured boy.
"To Melitus..." he says with less enthusiasm as he would have hoped. He hobbles towards the direction of Melitus' dwelling.
(Read about the Elevator of Doom and started thinking of the Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror...)
A minute later, you have entered Melitus' chamber. With the dead silence all around, his laboured breathing is audible from a long way off.
You approach. Melitus is in the same position he always was- in the iron lung, unable to move more than a fraction of his head. No-one is in attendance.
"I did not request your..."
sssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh...
"... presence. You would do well to leave quickly before..."
sssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh...
"... you are destroyed."
Melitus laughs, which is quite a struggle.
"You understand..."
ssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"... nothing. The merest of inconveniences. They will soon..."
ssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"... return. You can no more kill them than you can..."
ssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"... harm me."
