Fred's blade, Arundel, had been forged a thousand years ago in the fires of the sunken kingdom
of Morion, during the war against one of the most powerful dragons of them all, the great
leviathan Deltuminos. However, he did not know whether it would be of any use against the
power of a demon. But he had no choice but attack the demon emerging from her. He could try
to kill her with the sword, but even for the good of the whole world he would not take an
innocent life.
He lunged at the woman who was still screaming in agon,y his sword drawn. One of the tentacles lashed out at him and he hit the floor. Feeling as if his every bone had been broken, he drew himself upward and struck at the tentacles with his mighty sword. He actually made a cut in one of them, causing it to draw back in pain and ooze acidic ichor. But as Fred watched horrified a new tentacle grew out of the wound and strangled him by the neck. He dropped his sword and tried to pull away the tentacles, but to no avail. Fred knew in his heart that the Shoggoth presence was still a part of him. If it succeeded in killing him, it might be able to move into someone else, but until then... It seemed as if there was a way he could stop it, though it was risky. He could try to draw the Shoggoth presence back into himself and destroy it, even though he might not be able to resist its demonic power.
