If you piss me off and I decide not to kill you yet, I'll probably have you strung up or chained down here, in The Square. Alternatively, if you'd like to laugh at others' misfortune, come on in and have some fun...

::Flames rise and a screaming Parker appears. The fire subsides to reveal the neophite demon chained to the wall, his powers dissabled and unable to leave he will remain there until further notice.::

::Parker stands there somewhat week and extremely angry.::

(I have to get out of here! I will not stay here any longer!)

::He begins to tugs against the chains, trying to free himself. Parker, finding the tugging useless, attempts to shimmer away.::

(Damnit! Where the fuck are my powers?!)

::He grabs at some loose chain and drops his head.::

::Lee stops running as he enters the square and looks around. Still blanketed, he wanders around stopping at the chained Parker. He slowly peers forward, concerned for the man.::

(He has to be a human...why else would he be chained there? Oh god. I hope he's okay...)

"Are you alright?"

::He rushes to his side, trying to keep the noise down.::

(What have we here?)

::He slowly lifts his head, meeting eyes with Lee.::

(Ooh a mortal. No demon would ever be concerned with something like this. Hmm, this could be very, very good)

::Parker's face is overcome with sadness and despair.::

"Please! You have to save me! Get me away from this place!"

::Lee looks around cautiously before tending to the chains.::

"Don't worry everything's going to be fine."

(Great. These chains will definitley be a problem...)

::He tugs at them and then stands before Parker.::

"Listen, there's a place nearby, full of items that're gonna help me free you. Lay low and I'll be right back."

::Lee rushes away to the Market.::

"Now this is luck."

::An evil grin creeps across his face and a small chuckle escapes his mouth.::

(So I'll be freed, kill the human, and somehow prove to the Source I'm a changed demon)

"Okay, let's do this."

::He takes out the athame and potion and looks to Parker.::

"I'll try really hard not to get any of this acid potion on you..."

::Lee slowly pulls off the top and very carefully pours the potion on the chain links. He watches as the chains dissolve, leaving only the cuffs in place. He moves down and does the same for the ones holding Parkers feet.::

::Parker steps forward and looks to Lee in gratitude.::

"How will I ever repay you??"

::He smirks before kicking Lee in the ribs and swiping up the athame. Parker dives down on top of Lee and shakes his head.::

"Thank you. Really, you've been a great help."

::The demon plunges the athame at the witches chest.::

::Lee has no time to react as the blade penetrates his chest. His eyes widening, Lee screams out in pain.::

"..but..."

::His body jerks, and his eyes slowly roll back. The blood spills from his body and his heart stops. Lee is dead.::

::Parker takes a deep wiff of the spilt blood and makes an 'mmm' sound. He pulls the athame out of the dead witches heart and raises it to his mouth. Licking it, he closes his eyes and revels in the taste.::

"Now that's, a good witch."

::He picks up what's left of the acid potion and uses it to melt away the cuffs on his wrists and ankles.::

(Hmm, what to do now...? I'm sure someone in the demonic market would like a few of this witches body parts)

::Parker pulls the body to the side before cutting out Lee's heart, scalping him and finally storing it under some random junk. He wraps the scalp and heart inside the blanket Lee was wearing, and marches towards the demonic market.::

::Link enters with Trix and Navi and, seeing the various demons in shackles, lets go of her hand and unsheaths his sword.::

"Looks like we're in a dungeon of sorts."

"Um, Link, I'm not sure this is exactly the place we were looking for..."

"It's alright, don't be afraid."

::What a hero. Taking his shield off his back, he holds both it and his sword in a defensive pose.::

"I'm very used to being in places like this. You just have to let 'em know you're not going to take any of their crap, and they'll leave you alone."

(Now which one looks coherent enough to ask about a marketplace...)

"Seriously, Link. I don't think you'll be too popular in this neighbourhood."

(He's going to die...)

"How, do you know it?"

::He continues to walk through the Square.::

"Helen... back there you threw fire from your hands. I didn't know you could use magic."

::He stops and turns to face her.::

"Is there something you're not telling me?"

::A demon walks out of the shadows, having overheard Link's question::

"She's a Siren, you fool. I'm sure that's how a pretty boy like you wound up in a place like this. He's under your power, right? I can practically see the goodness coming off him"

::The demon lifts his arm and Link floats into the air, almost paralysed by the telekinesis being used::

"Go on. Finish him off, if you don't someone else will."

::He gestures to the hoardes of demons around them, a few of them staring at Link with hungry looks in their eyes::

::Trix turns to the demon.::

"Yeah, I know, he's as good as a little pie. Come on, he's not going to do you any harm. Put him down, and we'll just leave. I'll make it worth your while later, if you feel that way inclined."

"Navi. Cast Nayru's Love."

::Being restricted in his movement, Link commands the fairy, who is quite untouchable by most magic, to cast the spell for him.::

::Mental facepalm.::

(Link, give up, you're completely outnumbered...)

::Navi flutters into Link's belt and pulls out a small crystal with a blue glow in the middle. She drops it onto the ground where it shatters. Link is surrounded in a blue forcefield. He drops to the ground immediately. Nayru's Love protects him for twenty of his posts. Check it, muthafucka Link may be from somewhere else but he still knows how to look after himself.::

::Angrily, Link gets to his feet and quite literally charges the demons. Nayru's Love protects him throughout, they cannot touch him. His sword slices into a good many of them. After a moment, he crouches and holds his sword still. Slowly, the sword begins to glow as he focusses magical power into it. It vibrates strongly in his hands, then with a loud cry, spins around, sending a huge slashing wall of magic in a circle around himself. It will pretty much cut everyone in its way in half.::

::Trix, having wisely ducked into a corner when she saw things were getting nasty, remains unharmed. No thanks to Link.::

(Dem's skillz, yo.)

::Santeagir, a demon who's name wasn't just made up, puts his hands up, deflecting the wall of magic away from himself and a few other demons, and back towards Link::

"I'd imagine now would be a rather good time to get the Source. Go."

::Two demons shimmer out at Santeagir's command, as he was a pretty high level demon, and out to the Source's Lair::

"The Source?"

::Link looks back at Trix, unsure.::

"What's that?"

"Oh shit... Link, we really have to go now..."

::Still glowing blue, Link looks at Trix, puzzled.::

"Why? They can't hurt me. I'm protected from anything with this."

(Then again, we might've just come the wrong way...)

"Yes, that's a very nice trick, but the fact remains that the source of all evil is on his way, and his powers will probably be able to penetrate whatever it is that's protecting you. Can we go? Please? For me?"

::Looking into Trix's eyes, Link pauses then sighs. Aww.::

"Okay, fine. Do you want to go back the way we came, or along that passage there?"

"I don't know... Just away from here."

::She gets up and walks over to him, stepping over the bodies of a couple of demons as she comes, and eyeing them distastefully.::

"Alright then. Let's go back then."

::Stabbing a couple more demons, just because, Link heads back to the cave thread whose name I've forgotten.::

[Patience shimmers in. Ooh, delightful!]

::Patience arrives and after taking a few calming breaths.::

"This..."

::Touches her belly.::

"Is your idea of a safe place?"

(Maybe Julie was right...)

::One of the warlocks who maintains the Square looks up at Patience.::

"You here to vent?"

::Takes a relieved sigh.::

"Venting would be..."

::Rubs hands together in excitement.::

"Lovely."

"Well, take your pick. There's a variety of weapons and items you can use on the bench on the far wall. But remember - maim, don't kill. If you can help it, anyway."

::Patience walks over to the bench and grabs for the first weapon she spots. A double edged Axe. How appropriate.::

"This will do."

::She turns towards the prisoners.::

(Alright kid, you brought me down here, what do you want me to do?)

[Patience randomly chops a demon's head off. Then his arms and legs.]

"What did I say about avoiding the killing?"

::The demons walk in with Julie, having swept her along, and take various toys to play with the prisoners.::
