The Devil 

All I know is that there's a lotta history between my Clan,
and a real tough dude called Njorun.



Mom,

I made a trip to the desert.
Not just any desert, but the one you told me about a while ago.
Where the people of Clan Ilian called home for a time.
All I've got to say is that you wouldn't be happy with what I found.
Don't think anyone would. I definitely wasn't.

Fleshcrafters, Lucky called them.
Bringing our heroes back to life to do their bidding.
I told you when I left that I wanted to make sure I helped people who couldn't help themselves.
Help them to find freedom.

What's freedom to a walking corpse, mom? I don't think I had any choice.
Had to kill them all a second time...
It wasn't easy.

Got a real cute flower. A botanist called it a Rhoynish Devil. 
Think they were using something in their experiments, too.
Petrified blood, looks like.

Every time I touch it, I start to get real ornery. 

Like I'm watching that crazy bastard turn my own ancestors on me all over again.

But the anger... the heat...
It feels good.
