Matthias kicked in the door. He didn't question how he'd gotten to the Cathedral, or how he had his armor, or where his hellblade had come from. It wasn't important now.
"She leaves now. With me." His voice was like thunder, disrupting the sanctity of the wedding ceremony. But... there was something wrong. The gathered Paladins wore the faces of demons, Barabel and Ahmoet and Otirael among them. And Aurianna struggled against the embrace of a figure that could have been Jeoram but was most certainly Baath-Me'el. The demon lord had her pinned against the altar, his skeletal wings dripping with her blood as he tore open her gown and groped her bare breast.
"If you wanted her so badly, my slave, you should have simply said so," the demon lord mocked, sinking his teeth into her throat as Matthias charged towards them. The demonic Paladins moved to intercept, and he hacked them down. It was like struggling through deep mud, though. For every demon that fell, two more rose to take its place.
Baath-Me'el laughed, his inhumanly perfect face dripping with blood as he stepped aside to display Aurianna. The sight of her, bare to the waist, her body streaked with her own blood, drove the fallen Paladin to redouble his efforts. “I wonder if you still want her," the demon lord taunted, "since we have already consummated our union. Isn’t that right, whore?” His teeth tore into her shoulder.
Suddenly, he was clear of the press. He lunged forward, thrusting with his blade. Baath-Me'el turned suddenly, dragging Aurianna around. He watched the blade drive deep into her abdomen, shearing through and spearing deep into the demon lord's bowels. He stared in horror, shuddering as he felt the hellblade drink her life. "I..." she stammered out, "I trusted you... once..."
"Lady Aurianna?" asked the small woman at her door. Or... maybe girl was closer to the mark. She was perhaps fifteen, small but sturdily built, and her five foot six frame looked tiny under the weight of her armor and the shield she bore, and the broad-bladed sword with a two-handed grip. She looked at Aurianna, and her blue-grey eyes went wide. "I'm sorry! I just assumed you'd be awake. I... I can come back, if you'd rather. I was just so excited, when I was told you were going to be my instructor!"
She blushed a little. "I'm sorry," she said again, ducking her head a little. "I'm Clara Olgasdottor, an Aspirant of the Order, and... this is great! I'm..."
Her enthusiastic voice trailed away, and then she clapped her hand over her mouth. "I'm sorry!" she said a third time. "You've just woken up. Do... shall I go fetch you some breakfast? And give you a little time to get ready? Oh! And the Lord Commander told me to give this to you, when he gave me the news!" This was a scroll tube.
Matthias shuddered on the stone floor, crimson eyes darting wildly around. "Just... just a dream..." he gasped, adrenaline and fear and lust coursing through his veins. "Just... a dream..."
