It's one of the options I'm considering for volume side stories. Canonically, the Seeker would be the only feasible option, because picking any of the others would require Amy to have a major personality transplant. But then, the side stories aren't canonical in the first place, so... >.>

I'm waiting for my luck to run out." > "Well, it certainly will soon with that attitude. We got out of the city because I carefully planned and prepared, and you followed instructions without screwing anything up." I think Amy may have the right of it, actually. This *is* a Cathfach story, after all. > The whispers immediately intensified, drowning out every other sound, but despite that, they remained strangely inaudible. Not helping your case that this has nothing to do with the Void. :P > She played her role as your pawn perfectly, and it was that young upstart Protector that spoiled your little plot. "Young upstart"? The gods have ages? Hmmm... > Grand furnaces burning with strange flames. Is this supposed to be referring to nuclear reactors? It almost sounds like it's supposed to be referring to nuclear reactors. > Now she knew that the entire pantheon was listening. > That was, to make a gross understatement, ominous. Which god of the Dark had that effect on his peers? Oh, my. > She hadn't even thought of asking the Dark to solve her soul degradation problem—mostly because she wasn't entirely convinced that she had such a problem in the first place—but even if she did, being turned into some sort of rubber-skinned infectious demon wasn't her idea of a solution. LUL. Indeed. > If he says he's already been paid, then you've lost something that you currently have a chance to retrieve. Well, that's promising. Sounds like it *is* still possible for Amy to make it home, after all. For now, at least. > "Oh, I see," came another voice, laughing heartedly. Amy couldn't even tell which one. "No wonder she attracted your attention." Hmmm... > Screw this. I'll help you, rather than let him have his way. I'll heal your soul and reforge you into a lich, giving you all of eternity to search for a way home, no payment required. Huh. That was unexpected. > 'Very well,' she thought. 'I accept.' > The world went white. Well, that's ominous. This chapter was quite interesting. I expect to be coming back to it quite often for theorizing purposes. Also, I contend Amy *probably* would have been better off making a deal with the Seeker.
