"Now, Bishop Murillo was... «Prince of Thorns»
RamingoWS28 сентября 2017"Now, Bishop Murillo was full of hars words and judgement. He had plenty to tell me about hellfire and damnation. We set a while and discussed the business of souls. Then I hammered a nail into his skull. Just here." I reached out and touched the spot on Renton`s greasy head. He flinched back like he`d been stung. "The bishop changed his tune a bit after that," I said. "In fact every time I knocked a new nail into him, he changed his tune. After a while he was a very different man. Did you know you can break a man into parts like that? One nail will bring back memories of childhood. Another will make him rage, or sob, or laugh. In the end it seems we`re just toys, easy to break and hard to meant. "I hear that the nuns at Saint Alstis still have Bishop Murillo in their care. He`s a very different person now. He clutches at their habits and slurs awful things at them, so they say. Where the soul of that proud and pious man we took from the papal caravan is -- well, I can`t tell you." With that, I "magicked" a nail into my fingers. A rusty spike, three inches long. The man wet himself. There on the steps. Burlow gave an oath and kicked him, hard. When Renton got his breath back, he told me everything he knew.
