<<out at sea, the full moon shown brightly, audmenting the currents and the tides of the ocean as the waves charged and flowed with high energy....some smashing against the giant land mass that spellbinder was now seated on. she sat in the middle, "indian style"......her hair blowing and her face tilted upward toward the moonlight. her eyes were closed and she seemed to be in a deep state of concentration or meditation.>>

<<all around the perimeter of the land mass, a flickering, crackling sound is heard as silver mystic flames sparkle into view...flowing around the summit of the land mass to form a pentagram of power......Spellbinder was in an altered state...deeply focused, her mind was clear and emptied of all th oughts of the others....as one plane of reality gave way to another>>


the dream zone

another place in Limbo...far FAR away from the familiar landscape that she was familiar with. there was no "limit" to the expanse of limbo and there were so MANY varying landscape...but the eldritch realm's unique allure told her that she was still home.

something was wrong.......as she walked along the the desert plane...she felt odd......she realized she had no clothes on....but worse yet, she had no facial features...no hair!

[i]she wanted to scream for Ororo....but she had no mouth!....she was a NOTHING BEING...in a NOWHERE PLACE. left alone in a harsh envrionment ....she had no choice but to walk....and somehow she knew how to keep her balance and move forward.

on she went...coming to a fork in the path....the sun glaring down on her statuesque body...which was now little more than that of a female mannequinn that had yet to be custom designed.

standing high above...on a jagged plateau and watching Morgan.......was Alison! She wore little more than a "two piece bikini" like ensemble which made her look more like Jane Fonda in Barbarella than like the trademark beautiful yet intimidating Guardian. Her hair was down...and she held a staff. She made no apparent movements to aid the unusual Morgan.....she just watched. Morgan stood at the fork in the path....poised to make a descision....but how could she possibly know which way to go...with no eyes?


Guardian watched Morgan.....indeed her position in this dream was symbolic...as Guardian was a seer/precog...and would most likely know which path was the best to take....but she could not intervene this time as she had done so often in the past. off in the distance of the path to her right, seemed to be some kind of mountain range....with the possibility of a waterfall and other beings over the horizon. Off to the left....more of the unforgiving desert wilderness...a path fraught with turmoil and adversity as the sun glared down unforgivingly. Morgan moved to her LEFT.....heading down into the path that seemingly lead to more harshness.

Guardian stood....motionless as the desert winds whipped up and howled...almost with a gleefull shrill tone. Guardian's face ...seemed to suggest profound dissapointment and sadness....as though she KNEW that Morgan was going toward the path of darkness and destruction. She soon faded away as the winds swirled where she once stood

-------

Morgan wanders....her arms slightly raised and her hands posed.... her indomitable will pulled her on....despite the harsh, barren evnrionment. and she wanders more....for what seems to be DAYS. Time passes far differently in Limbo than on earth. Just as it seems that nothing HUMAN could survive days of such an ordeal.....the sun flashes and radiates a white hot light.....Morgan's "mannequin" body begins to glow....and melt away...revealing HER TRUE form.....the beautiful young sorceress with icy violet eyes and blonde double highlighted hair. she was now physically intact....anatomically correct and fully restored in body. The sun's white hot heat....forming Morgan, "the weapon"....fierce and ablaze with contempt and evil for her enemies in The Six, Morgan's predatory scowl causes the few demonic creatures that have been around her to scramble away in fear.

She looks around for a moment...but as she steps forward..she trips over the skull of a long dead tigerbeast...and topples over a high plateau....tumbling fast down a sandy slope and falling into a beautiful crystaline blue lake....the water cools her hot body ...just as black smith making a weapon of destruction would cool his sword in a vat of water after tempering it with a white hot flame....her transformation was well underway


She emerged from the water after a few moments...her body now refreshed..she looked several years YOUNGER as well.....her beautiful was bewitching....but the evil that conveyed from her face....was just as terrifying. she moved from the water, unmoved by the creatures that peered from behind rocks and shadowed corners. She was now in what appeared to be the shoreline of someone's estate....a large, sprawling castle composed of crystal....with diamond foilage and amber formations that jutted from the ground at strategic areas. there was a soft melody of chimes in the air....as the soft breeze echoed through the caverns of this mysterious estate.

Just as she made her way up the path from the water, she felt a large pair of hands...placing a large, flowing blue cape around her to cover her nude body....she gave a start of surprise at the touch of another beings hands...and turned around to see who her "welcoming committee" was.

::Black places the cloak on Spellbinder's shoulders allowing her to take hold of it and wrap it around her. the cloak is long and flows, but its so ripped and jagged on its edges::


Black: There ya go, Misstress Morgan. I wuz wonderin' when ya might get down here.

::BLACK...this creature who had been a killing machine and DEDICATED to destroying Spellbinder and Foxfire.......he NEVER spoke before, and he NEVER showed any kind of "humanoid" tendencies. yet here he was now, greeting his former target and welcoming her in a most unusual manner::

<<Morgan's eyes widened with extreme shock and panic...as she turned around to behold BLACK standing over her....>>


BLACK!


WHAT are you doing HERE in LIMBO!?

<< turning around and yanking the blue shredded edged cape from him as she pulled back....the cape swept around her as though she were shooting a photo spread. she sneered with contempted as she looked around for a weapon...ANYTHING to attack him with>>

I don't KNOW how you got here....but this is MY domain...and Ill make sure you REGRET ever having found your way here!


<< the scene around them was remarkably tranquill...none of the enchanted creatures that were randomly seen about the area were terrified of Black...and something about him DID seem different. He NEVER wouldve offered her a "helping hand" before...he wouldve simply gutted her if given such an opportunity like this. But nothing so far in this dream had been "normal".....and so, his appearing before her...and apparently being the caretaker of this pocket in Limbo.....it should not have surprised her TOO much. This was after all LIMBO ...where time and space blurred...and reality was not seemingly set in stone>>

::Black stepped back, dismayed by the agitation of his guest. he put his hands up to capitulate::


Black: easy there miss, i aint gonna hurt you! I can't its you're dream remember! I'm here because you WANT me here.


::he gestured toward the palatial, circular designed, crystaline estate up the winding path::

c'mon inside, Morg. You been out in the sun for days and while you lookin better than ever, you gotta refresh yerself now.


::Black...the scourge of Spellbinder now OFFERING HER REFRESHMENTS and a place to recouperate?? this HAD to be a dream...and a most bizarre one at that. His movements, his demeanor...he was FAR from the terrifying creature she remembered him to be. But still...hidden in this oasis below the harsh dessert above, here he was, offering an olive brance to his former arch enemy. It was her choice to accept or not.::

<< without anything to fasten the cape to, Morgan had to hold it so that it wouldnt fall. She stood glaring at Black. He was far different, and her shock and agitation were beginning to subside. He was right. How could he hurt her in her own domain...in her own dream? Soon, her facial expression changed, she was no longer afraid at all. She looked rather unmoved actually>>

<<SIGH>>: oh what the hell. its not like things could get WORSE right?

<< off she went, with Black to the impressive citadle like estate>>

so, how'd you get here anyway? Didn't Ororo send you through the Siege Perilous?


<< she was actually curious to see what he would say. It wasnt like she was leaving anytime soon. She had no idea how she found THIS pocket of limbo...or why she was here....but for once, she honestly DIDNT CARE. ANYTHING was better than where she was on earth...with people whom she despised more than BLACK now.>>

::Black now had a very unusual "new" personality...he was the shadey "henchman" type...with a wacky sense of humour...definately the most intelligent demon in Limbo since S'ym.::

::he brought his guest into the surprisingly welcoming estate....which looked like it shouldve been on the pacific pallisades. the most exotic birds fluttered high above in the circular domed ceilings....and haunting black banners with frayed , shredded edges flowed in the winds that whipped through the multi level citadle::

yep, Mistress Ororo did put a hurtin' on me back in Mystech. Sent me sprawling into the mouth of the mighty Siege Perilous. I got ripped up and expunged...but then i wuz put back together and shunted off into some "new existence". the siege sent me to the place where i'd fit in most.

Now, I'm here in your world, workin' fer you. and with the changes goin' on, I figure you mustve brought me here for a reason.

::Black lead her to a most haunting yet beautifully decorated dining room with a large and visually appealing spread of fruits, vegetables, meats, and the most exquisit wine and champange. a small, lizard like creature was lapping up some of the wine which was kept in a deep mouthed chalace....Black reached for the lizard...which squealed with protest...before it turned into a crystaline goblet.::

dont fret Mistress Morgan, I cant hurt you...I dont even want to. here, partake of whateva you want. and tell me whats buggin ya. you made quite a journey across tha expanse up there to make it here.

<< Morgan listened with intrigue. the IRONY of it all....that Black would now be among her ALLIES in Limbo....after their brutal and violent past. This was by far, the most vivid dream she had had in quiet some time.>>

<< But with the changes taking place in her soul....her growing affinity for Limbo...and simulteous disdain for earth and The Six....having a right hand man like Black at her disposal would proove to be a most lucrative option.>>

hmmm.....everything looks so good!

<<she snatches the goblet away from Black's hand...and happily pours herself some lucious red wine...while partaking of some of the steak.>>

mmmm this is..fantastic!

<<morgan was enjoying herself. the time in that seering sun seemed to melt away MORE than just her mannequin form....it melted away her icy pretense....she was more ALIVE now than ever before...and the water cooled her.....perfected her. She HAD become "younger" looking....but there was now an evil glint in her eyes...a darker, more angular countenance to her face.....and as she stood tall...holding the blue cape with its shredded, frayed edges around her tall, feminine form.......she was now enjoying splendid food and drink>>

well...Black....this dream just keeps getting better and better. I gotta tell you, Its a HELL Of a lot more pleasant here than on earth...in the presence of those pathetic mortal wretches, Haleigh Davidoff and Cameron King. Cameron King.......that slimey greesy little eel...and his never ending supply of sisters. << she laughed as she poured another drink>> I dont know Alison can STAND it.....


<< she seats herself at the throne like chair at the head of the long spread....draping over the chair sideways to let her long, smooth flawless legs dangle over one arm of the chair>>

its funny you know...i spent my life striving to be the best, and usually achieving that. But now....i dont care about any of those things....Illustra...NONE Of it.

am i going round the bin??

Black
05-13-2005, 01:13 PM
::Black was leaning back against the wall to the right of surprisingly calm and relaxed Spellbinder. he smirked as he lit a cigar...and began puffing on it::

nah, you aint goin round the bin, you're just weary o' the bullshit ya deal with on earth. ya said it yourself!

::with alarming accuracy, Black imitates Spellbinder's voice and words to Foxfire::

In Limbo I'm SPECIAL, POWERFUL...why would i WANT to remain on earth...knowing that?

::he exhaled smoke...which formed images of Haleigh, Cameron, Alexis and Erika::

ya see...these four...are a waste of your time and generosity. ya been extending yourself and your world to them...and denying yourself your BIRTHRIGHT as sorceress supreme...and striking down those who stand in your way.

::Black puffs hard and disperses the images of those four::

you dont need their validation to know you are beautiful, special...POWERFUL. Youve been successfull ever since you were a child and people have always hated you...misunderstood you. But ya know....thats how it is when ya got power that most will never have.

<< standing up...and exclaiming with reliefe that someone finally saw it HER way, Spellbinder rushed to a massive, beautiful ornamental mirror.....she gasped as she the new, revitalized, yet for more wicked looking reflection>>

I AM beautiful......and POWERFUL! I dont need them.....i dont need ANYONE!!

<< she stepped back...and spread her arms...still holding that long, blue cape with the shredded, frayed edges....as she spun around a sparkling effect flowed wround her body>>


I am SORCERESS SUPREME....and its time EVERYONE KNEW IT!

<< she turned to Black>>

But Cameron and Haleigh...they will try to spoil my run...rain on my parade. I am SICK of their dead weight.....always criticizing me , backstabbing me and challenging me in my own domain!

<<black lightning bolts crashed around outside...as the skies began to swirl....>>

I've held back from doing what i wanted to do ....but i dont know WHY!? i have nothing to lose....and all they've done since I've allowed them into my life is insult me, defame me....challenge me.....try to pervert my own sister!


Black....i'm TIRED of them. The SIX doesnt need them....we have Guardian and Morningstar ....and .........I want to KILL THEM!

Black
05-13-2005, 07:20 PM
::Black puffed more on his cigar as he pumped his fist in support of Spellbinder::

SO KILL 'EM ! HELL...KILL 'EM ALL! Why worry, why fret? just think of your inferno as a way of clearing out all the dead wood.

Morgan, ya gotta stop trying ta be Ororo or Karen...that's not who yer meant ta be.

You are one of the DARK TRINITY...you can do so much with your power but ya hold back. Always have....and even now, the pull of Limbo calls to you like a song...

::Black holds out a massive hand ...with the back of it facing Spellbinder....each of his nails sparkles and soon a face appears in each nail....each face represents a different facet of Spellbinder: the super model; the super heroine; the prim and proper high priestess/white witch; the ordinary single mother; and finally....the demonic,dark, intimidating sorceress supreme. each face so different ...yet all cut from the same template::

You can chose your destiny Morgan. these are tha most prominent facets o' your being...tha lives you have lead or COULD lead. What ya might know remember is that in Limbo, time and space dont apply. YOU can reinvent yaself any way ya like!

picke of 'em and take tha plunge Morg! throw off them restraints and let go like you've always dreamed of! ya got nothin ta lose!


::Black smirked....as he awaited her next choice::

<< Spellbinder was taken aback by Black and his perception of the situation. He seemed to be as intuned to her extreme agitiation as Ororo or anyone else who truly knew her mightve been. but the fact that she was fraternizing with a brutal, powerful demon that once was the scourge of her existence was an alarming indicator of just how WRONG this "dream " was. >>

<< she stood....the winds blowing her cape that she held just so to keep herself some what covered in Black's presence. She looked upon the demon as he presented her with the "five option"....looking at each facet of herself....showing a little curiosity as Black explained to her the choice tha now was before her>>

oh...well this is really an opportunity is it? to hurt those that hurt me...without any worries about the reprocussions.....as if any of them could possibly do anything ANYWAY.

<<Spellbinder rolled her neck...before sighing>>

aw what the hell.....its only a dream right?

<< Morgan thrusts her hand out, point her own well manicured nail at the evil, demonic, demon sorceress supreme image which is on the last finger nail of Black's hand>>

::Black's smirk became a demonic glint as he responded::

WRONG, SPELLBINDER!

::he LUNGES forward....STABBING Spellbinder in the center of her chest with his pinky finger nail, the one that contained the image that Spellbinder chose.::

Dreams are a facet of REALITY...especially in a place like THIS. And YOU have just REDEFINED YOUR REALITY! Enjoy it sweetie....you ASKED FOR IT!

::Black laughes heartily and evily...his voice echoes through the air as the winds howl and whip into a frenzy::

GASP!!!


<<Spellbinder's eyes with sudden SHOCK as Black lunges forward and STABS her in the chest with his finger nail....the pain, the shock the violation! She staggers back and her eyes roll in the back of her head as she falls in slow motion to the floor....a demonic red symbol glows into appearence in the center of chest as she hits the floor......and that "Reality" SHATTERS like a glass screen as a chime sounds off. Morgan Victoria has now given herself over to darkness....her soul corrupted to its core. She is now back on the land mass out in the middle of the stormy ocean....laying posed just as she was when she fell in the dream.....unconscious....but younger looking just as she had become in the dream. Her hair was now longer as well. Her costume had changed as well....she was now wearing a most provocative outfit that showcased her feminine, toned body in a way even SHE had not done before, but it also indicated her new persona. >>

*ACTUAL COSTUME IMAGE COMING SOON


<< a few moments passed...and Morgan slowly sat up....slightly groggy...she looked down at herself , her flesh bearing costume, and she felt different...settled, but no longer the same woman The Six knew. she was flushed with a new release of restraint, and a new level of arcane power. Haleigh and Cameron were about to be in for a WORLD OF HURT. ALL OF NYC would fell the fire of her INFERNO. But first...she had to return to her sister, alison and delilah. There was still the matter of Kelly King...She remembered...........but Kelly King would soon be a THING OF THE PAST!>>


<< Standing up....the winds seemed to whip into a frenzy, just as they did in the "dream" when she was stabbed. But that was MORE than a dream. Morgan had just CROSSED OVER and was now...EVIL>>

<<with a wicked smirk on her face...Morgan TELEPORTS via stepping disc.. from miles out at sea....directly to the ATTIC of Erika's house...BOOMING into view as the disc opens and catches everyone off guard. Spellbinder steps forward....her new look both cosmetic and costume....were obvious to the others....and it was clear, as the temperature in the room began to HEAT UP...that something was terribly wrong now.<<
