[b][u]Town of Jourstead[/u][/b]

In a dark room within the city of Jourstead, an old man of perhaps fifty with dull grey hair and frantic eyes stooped over the body of the little girl, praying and praying. The warm blood still seeped from the cracks in her head, splattered against the cold floor and her pale, dead skin was visible through the tears in her clothes. Suddenly, in a burst of light, the girls body animated and hovered off the floor, streams of purple running along it as Orfai possessed it. Rufus stared up at him and quickly began to beg
"I didn't mean to kill her, she struggled and... I had to shut her up! I had to stop the screaming!"
"Oh I know... you don't like it when they scream." Orfai said, the bodies arms folding as it floated "How many of your crimes have I hidden for you? Dozens, probably. But not this time. This time, you cannot slip into the shadows, this time, there will be consequences."
"Please! I'll do anything, please..."
"There's nothing left for your to give me Rufus, you've already given me the souls of you and your entire family, and you're just too... boring. Stagnant. You never change, it's so dull. But I'm the Lord of Change, Rufus, so here's a change for you. As soon as I leave, the Guard are going to burst through that door, and they are going to see you kneeling over poor little Helgi. They are going to drag you away and lock you in a tower, and tomorrow your head will hit the muck to the cries of angry parents. Maybe, I will give your soul to Evarast, and let him judge you"
"No..."
"It couldn't go on forever Rufus, you have had more than enough chances. But don't feel bad about it, everything has to change in the end. Just as you have terrorised the children of the Creche, you will now be terrorised by the parents of poor little Helgi. No one will ever know about the abuse the others faced, but everyone will know of innocent little Helgi, murdered by the monster Rufus. You will live on forever, Rufus, a bogeyman to scare the children of Jourstead. Your family will disown you for shame of guilt, your body thrown to the crows and your soul taken by myself. The towns people will think of it as Justice, you will think of it as unjust, I will think of it as change. But really Rufus, deep down inside you know you deserve this fate."
"No... Damn you!"
"Yes, many have" Orfai said, and the little girls body fell limp to the floor with a sickening splat, the markings fading as Orfai left the corpse. 

Orfai was true to his word, for less than a second after Helgi's body hit the floor the door to the room burst open, and two guardsmen cut off the tiny rectangle of light from the setting sun. They looked to the body of Helgi in horror, one of them fighting back vomit, and then their eyes moved to rest on Rufus. The old man quivered and began to stutter
"P... I... She... I didn't..." Rufus said, and the guardsmen stepped forwards, one of them raising his hand and pointing to Rufus
"I... I always had my suspicions about you, hanging around the Creche... But by Divinity, I never suspected this!" The guardsmen spat, and Rufus finally cracked
"The little bitch had it coming, she just wouldn't hold still. Damn you both, a pox on your families, a plague upon your friends!" Rufus growled, and the Guardsmen approached him, seizing him by either arm. He spat curses at them, and gnashed out, biting one of the guardsmen on the hand. The man recoiled in shock, then took his sword and raised it, smashing the hilt onto Rufus head, knocking him unconscious in the blow. They dragged him to the towns gaol, a small stone building with an iron gate. Helgi's parents stood outside, hurling abuse at him, and angry villagers tossed rotten fruit through the bars to him, splattering on his face with every good aim

Orfai had placed the thought in the heads of the Guardsmen, telling them exactly where they could find Helgi and Rufus. They didn't know it, but the Lord of Change had led them straight to Rufus, and now Rufus was sitting in a cell, awaiting his turn with the headsmen. The secrets of Rufus other crimes may remain locked in the Sanctum of Secrets for all eternity, but Helgi would be known, and Rufus would be killed for it. Rufus clenched his fists in anger as a rotten tomato splattered upon his face, covering him in it's juices. He should have known better than to trust Orfai, the lord of change. He knew, the fickle bastard knew that Rufus would run out of things to give eventually. Rufus could see his own mistakes, if he had been more careful... The minute he ran out of things to offer, he was doomed. Rufus glanced to the cell as it opened, and in walked a holy man
"Hello, my son" The priest said, entering and sitting next to him
"You want me to confess, don't ya?" Rufus sneered
"Yes, should you confess I can give you the last rites, and put your spirit at rest" The priest said, calmly. The crowd outside had stopped throwing their fruits upon the priests instruction. He had told them to pity the sinner rather than damn him. Only the old god, he said, can provide ultimate judgement. Rufus smirked at that comment, the old god was dead, everyone knew that
"Haha, my soul is damned either way" Rufus snapped, but the Priest remained calm
The priest opened his holy book "It is written in the Teachings that the man who dost commit offences such as yours will spend an eternity tormented within the fiery underworld. Should he repent his sins, he will spend but a millennium. Repent, my son, that you might be free of torment
"Don't you get it, you pious old fool? My spirits his! When I die he's going to take it and do whatever he pleases with me, like a piece of human filfth!"
"If you made a deal with a prince of ruin, then you should have seen this coming, my son. They are called the Princes of Ruin for a reason" The priest said calmly, closing his book "If you have made a deal with one, then you are doomed to uphold your bargain. The Old God is fair and just, he honours others agreements."
"How am I to escape that fate then 'father'?" Rufus sneered, and the priest rose, calmly turning to leave
"There are none who can, my son" The priest said, opening the gate and leaving. The guardsmen locked it behind him, and Rufus let out a cry of rage, hammering his fist against the wall. The Guardsmen smashed his fist again the iron gate
"Shut up back there!"
