WoundedYou banish the alien thoughts from your head and clamp the Magus's mind in a vice before she can put up a mental barrier. The woman clutches at her eyes with a scream, sapphire light and dark blood pouring from beneath her eyelids. She howls, "The Reaping!"

WoundedMental claws squeeze your brain, flooding it with inconceivable images. You hear the old man's cackling again.
WoundedThe woman's voice is indifferent. "He was wise but old, a child of a different season. While it was his time, the Congregation honoured him, and then his time passed, and he went with it. He sacrificed himself, gave himself up to the heretics to be torn apart. We praise his devotion, but we are of a different generation. We were born for the Reaping. Our ascension is assured."

Wounded"Year after year for centuries, we sowed the seeds of the Sire's genetic perfection on this ark. Those seeds have now sprouted, and the change of generations has produced sufficient purebreds. The sowing season is over. The reaping season has come." A murderous laugh cuts blade-like between your frontal lobes. "The Sire senses your weakness. Your trials and hardships have exhausted you. You are but prey for our mighty creator. You are already dead."

WoundedThe woman before you radiates an alien beauty — the bony crest on her forehead, the violet tint of her skin, and the graceful, clawed fingers give away her xenos heritage. Her robes resemble those of the old mutant you put to death in the family crypt, and her posture is regal and powerful. Sapphire light oozes from beneath the half-lowered eyelids, and a haughty smirk stretches her lips.
WoundedBiting whispers burst through your head, digging into your mind and probing your thoughts — tasting them. The woman does not move her lips, but you hear a voice speak: "You fight in vain, genetic remnant. We have already won. The Sire's song echoes in the dreams of those who are pure. The rest are destined for oblivion. The Sire's sorrowful phalanx has extended, and soon, the others will follow. Whatever you plan to attempt, it matters no more."
YOU"Who are you, beast?"
WoundedThe teeth of the mental whispers in your head become sharper. They scratch at your will and nibble on your intellect, eager to expose its secrets. The woman's voice is full of overbearing self-righteousness. "Speak, impure one. Speak all you want, and I will end this battle before it even begins."

WoundedIf there is one thing you have learned over your years of service, it is to keep your mouth shut when you should. Your mind has taken on a stamina that has suffered far worse than this witch, scowling with displeasure as she is. Your consciousness is a fortress wrapped in the barbed wire of your will, your eyes the all-seeing searchlights mounted atop its guard post. Nothing. Gets. In.

WoundedThe whispers sink their fangs into your most painful memory as into an exposed nerve. It knocks the air out of your lungs as you remember the pain that you have tried so desperately to forget. "Your body is broken and flawed, and your mind is bleeding. You should have given up long ago, fading one. Accept your death, and let go of your torment."

WoundedThe whispers sink their fangs into your most painful memory as into an exposed nerve. The ridicule, the looks of contempt, the pitying comments — the long-faded ripples of your disgrace hit you in a burning wave of shame and regret. "You are pathetic. You do not deserve to lead. An insect like you must perish."

WoundedThe whispers sink their fangs into your most painful memory as into an exposed nerve, while the canker in your soul echoes ominously in response. Through the woman standing before you, something is staring at you, something you have seen only in your darkest dreams. "You are touched by corruption. You know that your doom is nigh, cursed soul!"
