Boyce was looking out the window of the hospital room and was wondering how Lloyd was doing in battle. Lloyd was wondering if Boyce was awake and fighting, but soon, this wondering left him when he found the largest and most luxurious looking bed chamber of those that he'd looked into. He silently crept into the room, making certain that he wasn't seen, and he slowly walked while he cautiously drew his sabre. He looked ominous in his armour and parts of it did scrape and screech with every step that he made. "Come in!" said a ratty feminine voice. Eckma was in the chamber with her and Manguino's only living child. The child was less than a year old and there was nothing physically wrong with it, and it acted normally but to Lloyd the child seemed to have a presence of evil emanating from it. It wasn't a weak presence of evil, either. It was much like the light of a candle in a dark void, even seen for miles. He followed the voice until he passed through some heavy blood-red drapes and saw Eckma lying naked on a huge round shaped bed, with the child beside her. Cardinal Polis, the physician, hadn't given her a capsule of the age retardant drug, because of his prior commitment to the war. Now, sores were returning to many parts of her body and she picked at them. Lloyd felt nauseous looking at her doing it and he didn't particularly get very excited when she took to stroking the fleshy layers of her vagina with her forefinger. "The stories about you are true ... you are foul looking!" he said to her. She sat up quickly with anger on her face, only to recline again, with a smile. "Come to my bed, dear warrior. Let me touch you!" she called him to her and almost unnoticeably spread her legs a little wider. "Cover yourself, bitch. Man was not meant to fornicate with animals!" She still smiled. She was apparently moved by him. Besides Manguino, Lloyd is the only other man that she has felt like taking into herself. His toughness and gruff manner towards her made her quiver all over with anticipation. "You can hit me, if you so wish. You can rape me. I will not make a sound even if you decide to bludgeon me!" she told him. "You wretched evil hag. You sexless bacterial malignancy! One such as you cannot be allowed to live!" Lloyd grabbed the baby by its leg and cut the baby in half, in front of Eckma's eyes. After he did that, he cut the halves in half and did so again. Eckma was terrified of him now and as he went for her, with his sabre, she let out a curdling scream that carried above the battle noise and throughout all of Halls. Eckma became hysterical until Lloyd silenced her similarly to ridding the earth of her evil child. Manguino was watching the battle from his office window and Orren called the battle tactics from a balcony, halfway up the side of the cathedral. Both men heard the horrific scream and both of them left their positions and quickly went towards Manguino's bed chamber.
