Hisame throws her arms wide. 

"Welcome, sisters! I'd apologize for staining your halls, but, well... I'm not really all that sorry."

Permalink

The sisters find themselves slowly dragged down to stand in front of Hisame and the Keres, just out of arms' reach.

Elthina musters herself. "What is the meaning of this, daughters?" she asks.

Permalink

"Oh, what's that song - look upon perfection, for it is fleeting. Your very touch stains the halls of gold, you bring doom upon the world..."

She leans forward. 

"I am the thing the light flees from."

Permalink

One of the sisters whimpers and faints. An invisible force keeps her upright.

"Though all before me is shadow, yet shall the Maker be my guide," Elthina quotes. "For there is no darkness in the Maker's Light and nothing that He has wrought shall be lost." The others seem to take strength from this.

Permalink

She steps very close to Elthina, so her breath is ghosting over the woman's cheek. "Not even your mind?"

Her hand rests on Elthina's hip...

And a jolt of lightning arcs through the woman.

Just enough to make her seize, back arching, pushing into Hisame.

Permalink

"But my faith sustains me; I shall not fear the legion, should they set themselves against me," she gasps.

Permalink

Almost kissing her: "You'll find I'm quite a bit more terrifying than the legion..." The lightning continues to arc out in irregular jolts.

How many sisters are there conscious, other than Elthina? If it's equal to or less than four, Hisame makes a clone for each.

Of course, some of these will be very quickly made examples of.

Permalink

There are three still awake.

"O Maker, hear my cry-"

Permalink

"I'm afraid it's only us here."

She grabs Elthina by the hips, spinning her around, so she can see what Hisame's three clones are doing to her underlings. Breathing into her ear: "Now, don't close your eyes. That'd be quite disrespectful, wouldn't it?"

Permalink

"S-seat me by Your side in death, m-m-make me one w-with Your glory-" she closes her eyes.

Permalink

"Naughty girl..."

One of the underlings screams, high and loud.

"I'll have to make this more an auditory experience if you're not watching, you know. Certainly a longer experience."

Permalink

She moans, but opens her eyes.

Permalink

And Hisame can paint quite the spectacular scene for her.

While making sure Elthina has her fair share of pain, and the Keres has a good view, of course. So many considerations to balance!

Permalink

Her multitasking ability is most appreciated.

And not just by her immediate audience. The sounds of widespread panic begin to swell outside.

Permalink

Perhaps they can take this show to that wider audience?

Permalink

The Keres has been broadcasting, but an in-person demonstration would surely be appreciated.

Permalink

Such a delightful girlfriend!

She takes her toys well above the crowds (benefiting, of course, from the Keres' power here, though she could make do without) so everyone has a good view.

And then she kills one of the women, dropping her body into the crowd, and wakes up the one who'd fainted to take her place.

(She won't drag this on too much - but she's got a snake wrapped in her hair, head near her ear, to warn her when the mage rebellion will become most obvious to the people on the street.)

Permalink

The crowd screams even louder when the sister drops from the sky. She has time to get through two more before the Gallows starts erupting.

Permalink

She dramatically cuts open the last of the unnamed sisters, and rises higher with a still conscious Elthina.

"See what is to become of your city, sister?"

Permalink

Elthina has been weeping for some time now, but manages to pull herself together enough to shout, loud enough to be heard below: "Maker, though the darkness comes upon me, I shall embrace the Light. I shall weather-"

Permalink

"Oh, you're cute."

And her vocal chords - but just those - can be seared, painfully, with a quick burst of medical chakra as Hisame's hand caresses Elthina's throat.

"I might even leave you alive - helpless, of course, but able to appreciate all I do."

Permalink

Elthina struggles, weakly. The people of Kirkwall below look on in horror.

Permalink

Medical chakra is so useful for precision work. Like breaking Elthina's bones, one by one.

Hisame ultimately kills her; leaving her useless had been more of a taunt than a plan.

She casts the body down and laughs.

Now, do there seem to be any organized resistances she should handle?

Permalink

Their decapitating strike seems to have been fairly effective in that regard.

There's one knot of guardsmen who are attempting to clear themselves enough space to start shooting at Hisame.

Permalink

She laughs and neatly strikes them - just them - down.
