OOM post: nightmare

Justice. He needs to deal out justice, grimly, mercilessly, because he is the one that can do it; he does not flinch, and he take no wounds from those that would defend themselves, helplessly, against his just wrath.

Mercy. There are those whose lives were upset deeply by his death, and he would put it right. He would put it all right. Sarah; Gabriel -- they need a life, a future, hope, and will have it, almost as a by-product of his revenge. He walks through fire and explosion, runs over roofs in the rains, following the crow (rook?).

Hope. Out of all this, hope will spring, and he will have his reward: when the evil have been punished, when the good have their lives back, then he may go back and rejoin his beloved, whom these evil men have violated unto death.

Madness. To all those that meet him, this is madness. None know him, under the black and white paint; all think him dead. The trader does not know who he is, and gibbers as Eric (Teja?) is sitting on his floor, going through the golden rings in the man's box, throwing them over his shoulder, one after the other, until he finds the one that used to belong to his beloved, so small and thin, it barely fits on his smallest finger; but he puts it on, still, and strides out, flames rising behind him.

To his revenge; to his fate.-



[[OOC: Teja hallucinated being Eric Draven from 'The Crow', for the IMDb flu plot line in Milliways.]]
