“Indeed. And our souls are hers forever,” I point out and finish my final circle, conjuring four wintry stakes of steely crystal. “But while you conquered her heart, brother, I will conquer her soul.”
Death…!As soon as Neo tries to explode into the Dragon, I silence his Destruction.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk…do not forget your penance. Perhaps I’ll even escort Elysia down to see how low the Prince of Destruction has been brought.”
Don’t you dare!
“Little matter, Neo. Mordere has some special things in store for you beyond your Court. Meanwhile, I’ll remind Elysia of all your masks, how they will always be a part of you no matter how much she may burn them off. After all, give Death his due. Without the loss of my physical form, your heart never would have frozen. My sacrifice is the sole reason your Dragon did not rip Nita apart in that dungeon just as you would have done to Elysia.”
Liar!Neo bares his fangs, rattling the mental chains.
“Oh, you know better than that, Neo. Just as Nita does. I’vealwayssacrificed for you, brother. Just as I sacrificed my reap that fateful night of Noralice.” I suck in a deep breath through gritted teeth, remembering how beautiful her soul was, how beautifully it danced with me…just as she will again. “Your old heart would have destroyed Elysia just as you destroy everything you love. And my old heart let her go. This time, I am claiming what ismine. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have my own Court to get to and a rapist’s soul whose account requires settling. He may have survived you, but I guarantee he will not survive me.”
Thanatos!…Thanatos! If you touch her, if you bite her, I’ll destroy you, do you hear me? I severed you once, I can do it again!
I drive the stakes home, lodge them deep into his spine, and crash to my knees from the pain rocketing through my system. “You know, Death, brother. I just keep coming back!”
