His hands hurt from the extreme caning he had pursued at Hogwarts. He had indulged. WIth every child he had gone further until just recently he had sent someone to Saint Mungoes. He had broken his cane at that point to stop it clouding his streams of thoughts. He needed clarity in his mind, he must sacrifice pleasures for this.

He looked from behind the tree at the resistance HQ, invisible to all but its members - he had helped to place charms on it. He felt a terrible connection with the Resistance, he had joined and planned against the Family. It had been almost like he had been needed. But alas, the plan had prevailed. Harshing had always foreseen he would have to betray the Resistance and join the Mastery. Only then was it possible to complete the annihilation of the Dark Lord.

Harshing touched the bark of his hiding place. He closed his eyes and several tears dribbled from his eyes, but when he opened them they glowed red in the moonlight. He saw himself as an angel. A frost angel. An angel with no ambition to rule that kept the forces of good and evil in balance. His birth was a mistake, he had fallen into the Mensmages. He had a task.

He walked to the Restance door and blew it down. "The Resistance. Come forth."

*Kiley had been in her bed, sleeping soundly thanks to the drugs she'd taken before bed. Nothing too hardcore. Just a couple muggle sedatives. But she had been pulled out of her sleep at the sound of the door. Kiley sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes as she yawned and kicked off the covers. She got out of bed and grabbed her crutches so she would be able to get to the door. When she stuck her head out into the hallway, she heard Harshing's voice and her stomach squirmed uncomfortably* "What are you doing here?" *She snarled.*

"Taking over the resistance." He answered simply, shouting and yelling to get everyone in front of him. Milo quickly came in afterwards and took his place in the crowd that was gathering.

As soon as all the resistance was out of bed, Coldstone looked at them all. "Now is the time for action! I have weakened the enemy from the inside, rotted the Family's gun, implanted a poison which will spread the toxin of doubt through their filthy ranks."

"Prepare yourselves. We attack tonight!"
