Lore
Legend
| “That’s not your husband anymore!” I screamed at Caroline. She sobbed in horror at the writhing green mass that covered my former friend’s face, but still didn’t move. At the noise Jarl’s head snapped towards her and he lurched jerkily forward as if pulled by invisible strings. Beneath the emerald mask I heard a muffled sobbing and realized one did not have to be dead to experience the Seven Hells. |
