"I will make a decision for you, and it will be the choice that you did not select. Because you value freedom more than compliance with the law, you will be allowed the same opportunity." Alex thought that her acts were similar to the immaturity of a child who would tease a friend with the promise of a toy and then take the toy away as soon as the friend had it in their possession.
The game of Wheel of Fortune. The lilac succubus was presenting a card, and as she did, it began to shine.
On this card, in contrast to the others, there were two pictures. One of them depicted a person walking among other people; this man represented freedom.
The other one portrayed a man's final moments, as he was being laid to rest.
She flicked the card up into the air before continuing.
The card gyrated and twisted more quickly than Alex, the captive Harrigan, or even the violet succubus could tell; this was done so that no one could see what the result would be.
