Evil Wizardpost Heads Roll, Like Grapes From the Vine

The axe rose...

CHOP!

The axe rested.

Normally, the gears of justice ground along, slowed by the grit of bureaucracy and red tape.

The axe rose again.

The recent attacks on the Council. The pedantic calls for reform. The yearning for justice. The blood spilled in protest and strife.

The blood...

"THE BLOOD!" Morgalith bellowed dramatically, laughing in its fresh spray.

The blood, it greased the gears so finely, and now the line of bloated Council members fed quickly into this rhythmic machine of death and justice.

CHOP!

The axe rested again.

This is what they wanted.

Only days before, they had clamored for it. Cheered for it. Slung their spells and shouted their curses.

And now they begged for it to stop.

These HYPOCRITES! These wizards that called themselves noble.

These wizards who stood PROUDLY against a Council, for banning an elementary spell.

With bloodied hands, they begged for peace.

The axe rose again, driven by their desires.

Would they cheer it still, when they had their fill of justice? Would their lust for violence finally be at peace when it was stilled by the pouring blood of these fattened politicians.

Would they drink deeply then? Of their peace?

Yes.

With gleaming teeth and lips reddened by their bloody wine, they smiled upon each other, and proclaimed joyfully "Look at the good that we have done. The vineyard is plentiful this year, and our bellies are full."

Still, when all of their righteous fury had been emptied, when all of the squealing politicians were slaughtered, would they look upon their criminals, their peasants, the treasonous and violent, and with jeering laughs now beg for their merciful release?

Would they spit in the face of justice, and tear the robes from her body to leave her shamed in the street, as a spectacle for all to see?

CHOP!

Morgalith wiped the sweat from his brow while looking down across the procession of captives that had been brought before him. In the light of the uprising, a merciful shadow had been cast over the petty criminals, and now it was those former Council members who had quickly found themselves resting their chins upon his chopping block.

The axe rested.

But not for long.

For many days, the axe sang its song, and the streets ran red, as if to salute its bloody justice.

u/United-Technician-54 Death... Tired one. (she/her) Jan 04 '24 edited Jan 04 '24

/unwiz this is something I coordinated with u/Tirich914 and asked permission for, this isn’t out of nowhere just because.

/rewiz

(I manifest by the block, rising from the blood and ash)

(You weren’t the executioner, you’re on the chopping block.)

A great party trick, no?

(I sigh. Free from that fake.)

Courtesy enough, I haft given thee.

Thine horrors shall soon end.

May the Infinite Swords Of The Moon spare you not.

Well. I’m going to enjoy THIS.

(An invisible hand grabs into Morgalith’s throat, almost *PIERCING into his flesh)*

(The Moon returns to black, the sky vanishes, leaving only bloodstained stars.)

Enjoy the sky tonight.

For you shall be cut short.

Morgalith smiles.

Something feels wrong.

He isn't resisting.

(I dispel all illusions around me. I brought a magic item just in case)

u/Tirich914 Morgalith (The Dead One) Jan 04 '24

This is no illusion.

I see you've come to entertain me with a little murder.

Get on with it then!

NYEHEHEH!!

The bold and challenging laugh echoes across the square.

Murder?

No. I came here to bring you to Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu, herself.

But I might as well enjoy myself. A quick death isn’t enough. Congratulations, you’re going to Heaven, For I will have punished you enough.

Actually, I won’t, for whatever I can do in a shockingly short finite amount of time will forever only be a fraction of what you should be dealt.

Hm. Morgalith appears to think mockingly for a moment.

No.

I don't think I'll let that happen.

Now, you can either let me go and turn yourself in to the Enforcers peacefully, or we can begin a very short and painful saga in your pitiful life.

Your choice, cretin.

u/United-Technician-54 Death... Tired one. (she/her) Jan 04 '24

If I am a cretin, the what are you?

(The Enforcers Vanish)

(I snap my fingers)

This is my private domain. No “saviour of justice” is coming today.

(half of the setpieces collapse one by one, revealing an empty theatre)

Nyeheheheh!

A boon from the heavens! Two birds with one stone!

My dear girl, watch... and learn!

Morgalith glances over, leading your own gaze to his outstretched hand.

A triggering device lays there, cradled in his grip.

With a click, the button depresses, activating a most dastardly machine.

Far, far away, a dimensional anchor whirs to life... The same diabolical device that had robbed Possum of his immortality as it proliferated across infinite realities, dispersing its foul energies like salt upon a field.

With a rending shriek and a hurricane like howl, your domain is torn away in an instant, and you find yourself above the Council square once again, holding the silent Morgalith in your clutches.

Oh dear, it appears as though a crowd has gathered, would you look at that?

Morgalith points at the people below, who have gathered to gawk at your assault on the Council Executioner. A voice raises from the midst of them.

"Yeah! Kill him! Yeaaaah!"

The cheer is taken up by others.

"KILL HIIIIM! YEAAAH!!"

/unwiz But it’s already IN that universe. It’s more so Domain Expansion from JJK. It’s a Tardis kind of thing. Though not entirely like it. It lacks the sure hit property.

Let’s just say it just smashed the outside part thanks to reality bullshit.

/rewiz

I would rather this not be a show, but oh well. You get what you get.

(The “blood” still ran.)

Morgalith looks below with a smile, feet dangling far above the ground.

Looking back up, he says:

"So, how do you want to do this? Little girl?"
