Description

Alex, Master of Sorrows, is the 19th of his lineage...and that stretches back around 4000 years or more. I believe (and the figments do whisper this) that one of his ancestors was taken by an enterprising lot of Romans who thought having a foreign god as a captive would be amusing.

I don't know which of the Masters of Sorrows it was--but not one that could fold space. He was pretty much stuck, and then decided it would be amusing to play along for a little while. This is not fighting fair at all, of course. And after a spectacularly bloody debut in the ring, he called upon Lady of Sorrows--Dolores--and she showed up, mighty pissed off at the Romans putting on the show. And the earth opened up and the walls came tumbling down.

It was a mess. And the Romans, like the Catholic Church later on, learned that the Gotth make good allies but absolutely implacable enemies.

So endeth the lesson.

Production notes: Alex, my M4 dial-spun character wearing Jepe's new Clive/Dax skin (we like it lots); Ad Gladio clothing and Arien's textures for it; shiny new DM Del Sol set; smoke, fire, hair, and whatnot painted in post.

Pass the mead, please. Cleans up nice, don't he?

LOL something about superior force does tend to make people think that maybe they didn't think things quite all the way through.... ie Ooooops!

Freakin' A... That's what I give this one. A. He's got quite the expression going-very smug, very appropriate. Smokin' hot (PUN!) Nanola....Just a hella piece! I can't even pity the fools. XD
