Sthyth was in excrutiating pain. The rabbit's wicked blade had nearly pierced his heart and he had collapsed to the ground and played dead as Andrea and the black rabbit gloated over what they thought was his corpse.
'Good help', thought Sthyth as he lay on the stone floor. 'I was loyal, I was faithful to the cause, I was a partner in this! Not a tool! A pawn! Something to be discarded!' Sthyth pulled himself up onto his elbows and strained to raise the upper portion of his body. "Twicsse in one day", he hissed under his breath. "At leassst with Aluara, Meiou and Rachel I knew who my enemies were. That desservess resspect." Sthyth slithered out of a secret exit from the dark rabbit's castle and made his way towards the Inn and the meeting.
The air outside was chilly and Sthyth found that he was becoming sluggish. He had lost to much body heat and was starting to shiver. The inn was still a good distance away and it would be some time before he made it. "If I had legss, I could drive there!", said Sthyth to himself. Sthyth was talking out loud to himself to take his mind of of the fact he was dying. "I'm going to bite that damn vixen Andrea and fill her full of poissson, I'll do that right in front of that damn, dark, red eyed rabbit basstard. He issn't a religiouss icon or a political mogul. He is mortal, jussst asss I am. Meiou will make him sssuffer."
Sthyth eventually reached the Inn and he slipped around to the back. Peering in a window, he could see Orchid and the phony Aluara inside there room preparing to go to the meeting. (It had been postponed several hours do to some late arrivals) Sthyth knew that this wasn't the real Orchid, he had killed her earlier in the week. He regretted it now. Sthyth regretted a lot of things, but he prided himself on perseverance and not being a hypocrate. True to his nature, Sthyth would not deny that he had done horrid things in the name of a criminal cause, but having been betrayed, he felt no compunction about making things miserable for the dark one. With his last few ounces of strength, fueled by hatred, Sthyth rapped loudly on the window...
