Subject: [Dagger] [Porc] The ramblings of a mind pushed too
far.To: <dagrfall@ods.com>

The sane part of my mind was still active, separated far from the gibbering
madness that overcame my consciousness.  All thoughts in my mind were swept
aside.  Pain.  That was the only thing my sane mind could process at the
moment.  I caught impressions of the companions speaking of my possessions.

"Barbarians!" I thought, "divying up my belongings before I am even dead."
Then I felt a warm, familiar sensation flow over my mind.  I pulled back
into my mind, nearly forcing myself into a non-magicka coma.  I formed
myself on the mental plane.  I held my former appearance, no wounds marking
my form.

I saw Catris flying through my mind, accompanied by Lady Raven.  They
hurtled toward the adamantite box that signified the last sane part of my
mind.  As this was my mind, I jumped up to grab them, to save the last sane
part of my mind.  Catris looked down as I jumped up, energy lancing out of
her eyes and burning me.  Pulling on my psionic talents, I put up a block
against her attacks.

I raced after them to defend my mind from intrusion.  As I hurtled past
them, I erected a shield around myself.  By the time I reached the box and
looked back, Catris and Raven were upon me, having grown huge in size.  I
held the box tightly against me as Catris frowned, grabbed me by the shield,
and began to squeeze.  I concentrated on keeping the shield up, but to no
avail.  The force Catris was pouring into her attack was unbearable.  The
shield collapsed and I dropped to the ground, still clutching the box.

Catris, restored to normal size, gently took the box from my numb hands as I
melted into the box, retreating to the sane parts of my mind.  I closed my
eyes, and let them do what they will, for I was powerless to stop them.
