Planescape Torment - 16- Everything goes to the same point

Ignus appeared in a shadowed hall. He looked around, not knowing where he was, but sensing his surroundings. He spoke out loud of what he had found.
"Great power isss here.
" A spectral, barbed form had glided forward as Ignus stared about himself.
--I HAVE NEED OF YOU. THERE ARE CREATURES THAT MUST DIE.
Somehow, Ignus knew those the figure had mentioned included the master he respected/hated. Ignus followed the
spectral figure as it moved away, his laughter echoing about him.

"Shadows." Dak'kon identified the forms about himself.One, more barbed and less a hole in the light than the others,
addressed him.AH, THE GITHZERAI. I REMEMBER HIM WELL... SUBMIT."I may be bested in battle, but I shall never be defeated."YOU CANNOT HOPE TO DEFEAT ME."I have been here before. This time I shall never leave."
SO BE IT. The speaker moved off, but the other shadows flowed inward, until it seemed as though the darkness itself had moved to cover Dak'kon from view.

"Its so cold here," Annah muttered to herself as she walked down the dimly lit passageway. The shock of finding herself
alone in this place had thrown her normal skills into hiding. She did not notice the barbed shape until she nearly ran into it.
AH... THE FIENDLING GIRL. WHERE IS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT YOU HERE?
"In a place where yeh'll never find 'im. If yeh think to be taking him, yeh'll be needing ta get through me, first."
YOUR WORDS HAVE PASSION'S STRENGTH. AND PRECIOUS LITTLE REASON.
"If it gives me the strength ta gut yeh, I donnae care!"
CURIOUS... YOUR REASON FOR FOLLOWING HIM HERE IS BECOMING CLEAR —
"Enough of yer chatterin'! If it's a fight yeh want, then c-!"
COULD IT BE THAT YOU SOMEHOW PERCEIVE YOURSELF AS special IN HIS EYES?
"If — if yeh're gonna try an' get past me then go on n' do
it! I..."
FIENDLING, I HAVE WATCHED THE ONE YOU FOLLOW ACROSS MANY LIFETIMES. I KNOW HIS HEART, AND I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN COUNTLESS OTHERS WHO HAVE FELT PASSION FOR HIM. OF THEM ALL, YOU ARE CERTAINLY THE LEAST. YOU ARE A THING,
BASTARDIZED BY YOUR PARENTS AND THE PLANES...
"Shut yer bone-box, yeh hear me?! Shut y—"
ANSWER ME THIS, AND YOU WILL KNOW SILENCE, CHILD.
DOES THE ONE YOU FOLLOW MATTER TO YOU?
"He matters more ta me, than mae life."
THEN DIE.
Annah attacked the shadowy figure, but alone, she was no match for the magic that was called forth.
