"Don't try and help him, Yeligar," Angelus said sitting up from his throne, "He can't be helped. The only way we're coming out of this world is when every drop of his blood has vanished."
Angelus waved his hand and two more big skeletons rushed at Scarth.

"STAY BACK I SAID!" Scarth cried out as he laid prone on his knees.
Don't what Scarth? What don't you want? The Other's voice was overwhelming Scarth. He clutched his head as if it was all that was keeping it from splitting in two.
"I don't... I don't want to die." He gasped out as he stared down at the ground. It was the only place he could look without seeing the dark hallucinations all around him try to bite and gnash at him.
But why boy? Are you...afraid to die? As the skeletons neared him a large tendril rose up from the growth on his back and slammed the skeletons away, leaving them as mere bones with it's strike.

"Angelus, get back..." Yeligar said, as he placed both hands on his lance. The water from the air started to surrounded his lance, and took the same of his weapon.

Scarth laid in silence as he continued to clutch his head. Slowly he managed to get words out.
"I'm, I'm not. I'm not..."
ARE YOU AFRAID TO DIE? The tendril wrapped against his hair and pulled his head up to see everything that stood ready to kill him. SAY IT! SPEAK THE TRUTH!
Scarth could not pull away as he stared down the legions of skeletons. Their eyes seemed to pierce his soul with cold hate. In the distance Yeligar stood with teeth like a demon as he sneered at the weakened king. And near the throne of death he saw Angelus as a hellspawn laughing without sound as his forces moved in.
It was too much. It was something he could feel coming. Something that he hadn't even thought of in many years. He was going to die, and he was afraid.
"Yes, I'm scared! Please Other, save me! I don't want to die!"
In that instant the black mass grew around Scarth and consumed him. The Other laughed on and on as both his voice and his flesh engulfed and consumed him whole. Just as he felt the darkness overtake him, he heard the Other's laughter with his mind, and his ears.

"AT LAST! FREEDOM!" A voice as smooth as silk and deep as the bowels of hell grew from the black mass that encased Scarth. A creature in humanoid form grew out from it, standing poised as if he had an air of nobility to him. It's skin was black and shiny like leather. When he had finished forming his face was flat, no nose or ears or mouth and with two dull yellow slits that sat where eyes should be.
Completely ignoring everyone around him he raised his arms to his face and seemed to be examining them. "Ah, to see with my own eyes. I can't remember how long it has been. Tis a glorious day indeed." There was no mouth to form the words it spoke, but the voice no doubt came from him as it echoed around the deathly realm they were in.

"W-what are you? What have you done to King Scarth?" He asked the new being in the room. He pointed his lance at him. I think this is what gave Scarth his powers... Whatever he is, he doesn't feel like he will help us.

"Hmm, oh yes, I'd nearly forgot about you there." The Other turned to face Yeligar and performed a low bow to him and Angelus. "I have you both to thank for my release from that annoying filth. Without your power and persistence I would not have had the tools necessary to shatter his will." A low booming chuckle filled the air around him.
"My name has been lost to the ages, so you may call me the Other. It is the name by which all pitiful mortals such as yourselves shall know me." He raised his arms up and out in a graceful motion, as if presenting his majesty to the two Heroes.

"Well, Other, What happened to King Scarth? What did you do to him?" He asked, "Or are you going to attack us, leaving us with questions?"

Angelus smirked at the Other, "I have no reason to battle you, if you want to leave then that's fine... all I want to do is kill Scarth." Angelus's glare turned to the now incredibly weakened Scarth. "But know that if you do try and battle me here you will die."

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about him anymore. He's not going to be bothering you, or me. Ever again." He rubbed his belly playfully. He began to look around, casually pushing aside the undead minions around him.
"Mmmm, now this is a real throne room. The mood, the atmosphere, the blood. I think I'll have to borrow some details for when I get back to Ariadelvento. You don't mind do you...Angelus right?" He chuckled to himself as he enjoyed his first leisurely steps of freedom.

"You're not my enemy," he said sitting back down, then continued with a low growl, "So get out of my face, now..."

"Please Angelus, drop the posturing bravado. I do tire of it so. It is something you mortals spew so eagerly from your lips till your last breath. "The Other stood towering over Angelus as his brow raised in bemusement.
"You know, I rather thought you two had work to do. Something about a man in red threatening your world? And yet you sit idle on a throne, as if you think you're beyond that." The Other slid around to the back of the throne, his hands clasped against the top as he leaned near the raven haired angel.
"Or is it more than that Angelus? Perhaps you are afraid too. No better than my foolish host after all, not that I blame you. To fear death is as common to you all as is your delusions of grandeur." A soft laugh escaped off his last words.

"Judging from your taunting you want to fight, hm?" Angelus asked in his usual tone... which would be boredom.

"Please Angelus, today is a day of celebration for me. I would not tarnish it with something as base as combat." The Other whirled around the throne to once more face the dark angel. Despite the lack of a mouth, his eyes and body language showed he was enjoying himself.
"Besides, even if you were to so foolishly take your blade up against me, there would be no, fight. No, a fight indicates an exchange of blows. It means either of us may be injured by the actions we would take." The Other's eyes narrowed with a brief look of sinister malice.
"Were you so foolish to take arms against me, dear Angelus... it would be a slaughter." To accentuate the point a cluster of tendrils flooded out of his back and like a hail of ballista rounds, reduced the remainder of the skeleton forces to mere pieces of shattered bones.

"Perhaps in any other circumstance, but..." Angelus suddenly vanished and was on the other side of the room, "This is my world, there is no possible way you could win when I control everything that happens here. How can you expect to defeat someone who's here, yet not here?" Angelus laughed why leaning back in his chair.
"Or... you could just leave and save as all time..." he waved his hand and a hole opened up leading right out of the area.
