Dementor's Kiss

Azkaban, the black monolith of despair jutted out from the stormy seas. The number of those who had escaped could be counted on your hands, even if you'd lost both. Tarquin McTavish had been imprisoned after a small misunderstanding. Well, it wasn't so much a misunderstanding as a disagreement on what constituted unlawful behavior.

Luckily his true intentions weren't revealed, or they would have executed with an Avada Kedavra and been done with it.

Without any physical self my soul is being 'digested' and mixed with the others. My name is Tarquin McTavish…
