"Do you see now, Brother?! He does want to live! I don't care for your reasons, for Alaric does not deserve to be punished for what Seth did! I will not allow you to touch him!"

Symphonia looked thoughtful. "Well my child, we can give you guidance. And I have a feeling That, if we ever hope to defeat Seth, you are the only one who can help us." She smiled. "Don't be afraid, fear will only take you down a path of darkness"

Azrael rolled his eyes. Just what he needed. A goddess of justice acting mad and a goddess of song playing at mediation. "It wouldn't even take a finger. I end things. It's what I do. Just as you should mete out justice, a duty you seem to have trouble upholding." He threw his hands up at Symphonia. "Do you want him to end up like Aeronwen? Or worse, his brother?!"
Alaric had opened his mouth to speak, but froze. He turned around slowly, eyes wide. "Like my brother?"

Symphonia shot a glare at her brother. "What I'm trying to say is, for ask that he's been through, he's holding up so well...or that Seth is letting him. I fear there are other plans brother. And we need him alive to find out."

Justitia dropped both of her blades and grabbed Azrael by his robe and yanked him towards herself, worry mixed with pure rage filling her eyes. "He didn't know, Azrael! He wasn't SUPPOSED to know! You knew this! Why would you say it now of all times?!"

Alaric held up a hand, eyes cold as ice. "What did you say about my brother?" Azrael closed his eyes, irritated with himself.
"Look, kid, I didn't mean to say that. I just meant tha-"
"No, you stop right there." Alaric moved suddenly, approaching the god. "What happened to my brother? What do you mean, end up like Antioch?!" The sensation of cold began to spread through his veins.

Justitia shoved her brother away and turned to Alaric. There was no avoiding it now. It had to be said. She bit her lip and took a deep breath. "Alaric... Your... The assassin. The man you first encountered with Caen and who branded you and earlier Aeronwen... It was him, Alaric. It was your brother, Antioch. He was being influenced by Seth the entire time."

Symphonia slapped her forehead at the hole they were digging.

"I thought you saved me from him." Alaric stared at Azrael, incredulous. "You said it was our place to face him, because a god should not interfere with mortal conflicts. You lied to me."
Azrael tried reaching out a hand to Alaric to calm him. "Look kid, just settle down. If you'd let me explain what I meant then-"
"You were just afraid of him! Because he had what I have. Because of Seth. So you sent us!" Alaric looked at Justitia and Symphonia. "You would have had me kill my brother. I thought he was dead long ago, but I..."
He grabbed at his head. Suddenly everything was too much. His ears started ringing and he felt something inside of him twist. Where there had been his strength in will, there was rage. A burning bottomless sea of it, and he was drowning in the fiery waters.
He screamed, and the black corruption began to spill across his skin, covering most of his face. He looked up at the gods, one eye tainted a pitch black, one yellow eye fixed in a hateful glare. It flicked down in unison with Alaric's remaining blue eye at his hands, where the corruption spilled down to the ends of his skin, coloring it the same shade of black as his eye. He looked around him like a crazed beast, eyes settling on Azrael. He charged the god, faster than any mortal should be able. Azrael raised his sword in preparation to skewer the maddened knight.

Charlotte had continued to sit, unphased by the proceedings between the three gods. Not until Antioch's name was mentioned did she stand up. From there, everything became a blur. She leapt to her feet and, with equally inhuman speed, caught Alaric and deflected his blade before he could reach Azrael. "Stand down Azrael." The voice that came from her was hardly her own. Her mask was blazing with light and mezit shone brightly, lighting up the room. "Charlotte, you may borrow my power one last time. Do not let Alaric doe." She nodded her head as a silver arrow materialized in her hand.
"Alaric," she began, using her own voice, "please. I know you're in there. Antioch did what he had to. He wanted to protect you."

Justitia yanked Charlotte back and shoved her into Azrael, trusting her brother to catch the girl. She kicked up her swords and caught them, her wings re-igniting. She turned to face 'Alaric' and, with a glance over her shoulder, told her siblings,
"Take Charlotte and get out of here! Your priority now should be the safety of the Chosen. Don't worry about me. Now that he's here..." She turned to the corrupted Chosen and grimaced. "It's time to have a little reunion with our 'brother'."

Alaric stood back up, black smoke rising from his body. It tangled around itself as if it were solid, little snarls of thorn erupting where it touched. "You lied to him and to me, sister. That was all I needed."

Justitia glared at him. "I only did what I had to. I never acted without the Chosens' best interests in mind. But I don't need to explain myself to you. You betrayed us and killed Aurora!" She then smirked unconsciously. "Who knows? Maybe you'll meet your new sister." She threw flames around the room, illuminating it in a red glow.

Symphonia stood in shock, unsure of what to do.

Azrael snapped his fingers a few times in her face. "Hey, come on. Get moving. We're all in agreement, Seth has to die. Let her handle this for now, we need to get somewhere open and warn the others."
