the servant struggled against the weight and power of the shadows, fiercely determined to escape; yet they had her - first one, then another. as veritas struck her with blunted claws, the others tore at her retreating body. they caught her by the tail, and she exclaimed like a wild thing indeed. the pain of having that part of her body held and pulled was different from what came next - the disfigurement, the wrenching of her tail back and forth which made her scream out a chorus of bestial sounds. she scrambled for escape even as the poison of veritas crept through her system, not yet taking over her body -- and as hosannah pulled free of the teeth that rooted her, she both felt and heard a great splitting of bone. in her terror she was struck with a sense of nothingness, and the shock of the attack would be with her for hours more; but she knew, somewhere in her psyche, that a piece of her would always remain in this dreadful place.
