yeh've no business a-questionin' me, yeh <strong>do</strong>n't."<br />

“JUSTICE gives me the RIGHT.”<br />

"Aye? An' what justice might THAT <strong>be</strong>?! Yer justice is <strong>not</strong> MY justice -- it's as<br />

hollow as yer suit o' armor! Yeh make yer OWN justice which yeh blindly<br />

ignore when it comes tae judgin' yourself!"<br />

“Mercykillers ARE justice. Our actions are ABOVE question, TIEFLING.”<br />

"Oh, aye?" the heat in her voice grew, "Well, yeh and yer Mercykillers swung<br />

many o' me friends from the leafless tree in the name o' justice when the<br />

inclination struck yeh! Burn in Baa<strong>to</strong>r's fires, yeh cursed half-dead thing, and<br />

may the Powers water on yeh fer good measure! I wish yer armor ta <strong>be</strong><br />

dropped inta the Foundry's vats an' melted <strong>do</strong>wn so that <strong>not</strong> a plate<br />

remains!"<br />

“For the LAST time, tiefling, have you ever committed an injustice? REFUSAL<br />

<strong>to</strong> answer is an admission <strong>of</strong> GUILT.”<br />

Annah looked desperate. "Nay, so I haven't. Now leave me <strong>be</strong>, damn yeh!"<br />

“You have REFUSED <strong>to</strong> answer <strong>to</strong> JUSTICE. I will PUNISH you.”<br />

"No, Vhailor, you won't," I stepped <strong>be</strong>tween them, "You have no right."<br />

“JUSTICE gives me the RIGHT. Guilt CLOAKS her like a second skin.”<br />

"S<strong>to</strong>p your questioning, Vhailor." Fall-From-Grace's words were spoken<br />

without the slightest hint <strong>of</strong> a threat, but somehow, they felt dangerous.<br />

"This is <strong>not</strong> a court, and you will <strong>not</strong> place her on trial in my presence. Leave<br />

her alone."<br />

“She WILL <strong>be</strong> JUDGED.”<br />

"To <strong>do</strong> so, Vhailor, you must go through me," Grace's wings unfurled, "I will<br />

<strong>not</strong> allow her <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> harmed."<br />

“All that stand in the PATH <strong>of</strong> JUSTICE shall <strong>be</strong> SENTENCED. You have<br />

EARNED your fate, SUCCUBUS.”<br />
