A taut, rigid dance of control: remorseless daggers and molten scythes, undulating coils, ruminations, speculations of a horrid, wretched serpent, deemed to abscond, doomed to plague, damned to oblivion and harsh, reticent raptures. Satan’s favored warrior, breathing acerbic croons, hedonistic hymns, seeking vengeance, unwinding retribution, harpooning requitals, basking barbarity in infernal venues, diabolical vestiges. Armed with Mephistopheles on both shoulders, driven to the culmination, the extermination, of lives threatening to rip apart his sieges, his soldiers, his brethren, sumptuous and scintillating, ferocious friction. Once he’d scalded away the layers, once he’d scorched off the cinders, the embers, the curling, foolish fixations of this enemy, this fool, he’d pluck away the seams of the others – watch and witness a Regime topple to the floor, crumpled, paralyzed, immobilized and incapacitated. Roles reversed and measured in calculating, writhing wrath, beasts and heathens molded from abhorrent stone, demonic art twisted into maelstrom spells and laureate iniquity, smoldering havoc, meticulous, hot grinds of harbored strife; like a blade, like a cutlass, like a rapier, driven to the silent chords of unsung violence. Eager, derisive, fiendish incantations of the anarchic, of the vile, of the stained, deplorable, horrible, searing fervor of hushed, unholy fervor, lacquered in condemnation, contorting, controlling, every miniscule moment, drenching the earth, the prison cavern, into indiscernible hazes – features too impassive, save for the blue eyes of bedlam piercing, puncturing, the minatory enticement of a captive on the riches of decadence. Whining, pouting, whimpering and yowling for a savior, with no one to answer but the inaudible howl of death’s door opening, humming in the sweltering, nefarious gallows, sweeping past the chilling, sinister wake of terror’s opulence. He couldn’t remember any creature less deserving for liberation, listened to the callous silence flow through like an open, gaping, festering wound, already warning, beckoning, reaching as a siren wail, for an artful demise. Like a feral, untamed ghost, he proceeded closer and closer, consuming, devouring, swallowing in the desolate, hollow frame of his impending menace, of his tangible malice, of his treacherous considerations, of the finality of his arcane, vicious, fatal brushstrokes. A knife for a knife, handle in his outstretched hands, augured and portended, indignation rising to slash, to beat, to cut and flay. They’d ushered the storm, and could only reap their just rewards. Deimos would give them naught else but pain for pain, torture for torture, and the burning, turbulent wasteland of annihilation.

Cold and indifferent, no proclamations were uttered, no words were said, no sounds expressed but the distant sway of the predatory wind, the drumbeat of his hooves slowly advancing, closer and closer, movements of the unforgiving, unfeeling, apathetic and reticent. Then, the pulsing, pervading vehemence increased, an inferno, a conflagration of hate, of contempt of loathing and abominations, smoothly, fluidly, rolling from his avaricious sculpture, retaliation drummed through the beats of wicked invocations, licentious enchantments and demonic deliverance, taking, absconding, stealing final breaths, final heartbeats, final reveries and serenities: death for the inept, death for the ignorant, death to the tyrants who threatened his homeland. The only song he’d ever sing: lyrics and stanzas of violence, animosity and antipathy, toxins of the villainous, of the depraved. Another victim who’d outlived his purpose, who’d drummed sweet details, who’d succumbed to the persecuting swing of an executioner’s precision, lain upon the cavern floor collapsed, fading, dying in the last flickering entrails of his shackles and fetters. Bare satisfaction; contentment for the demise, drenching and aspiring for future persecutions.

Zikar-Sin had known that Deimos was a creature of death and decay, that he reviled in the ash-grey end time of things and creatures; he recalled the worst kept secret of the Basin citizens, that, inside the ice-cold, granite hard, glass-sharpened exterior of their current Lord, therein flowed something dangerous and dark, pulsing hotly, false blood in false veins that carried a kind of treacherous power within. It wasn’t until now, however, that the Disciple was able to see this proposed danger within their ex-General—and indeed, until this moment, Sin had been a healthy, happy cynic, willing to believe in destruction when things and creatures were promptly destroyed, their black veils descending to suffocate and rock gently (or not so gently) into easy (or not so easy) slumber.

Here it was, though; his Lord of catastrophe playing the stony-eyed role of harbinger for the grim reaper’s scythe. It was a rather handsome specimen that Deimos was strangling with that twisted siren’s song of his—handsome in the academic sense, of course. For in the robust contour of the chest, the healthy rump, the fullness of stomach and grand arch of neck; the powerful bulge of muscle and the correct, regular straightness of the leg; the agreeable line of its back, the curve of wither; the precise profile of nose and face; the gloss of coat—in short, in everything possible (other than the deplorable, grotesque lack of a horn), the equine creature was the picture of perfect health. It only excited Sin more so to know that here was a fresh, ready-made specimen for research, other than the now-useless corpse of disease-ridden origins. The scholar was almost breathless with excitement; he watched as the kneeling corpse finally tilted on the ground, watched the last breaths attempt to escape the confines of the stiffening chest.

It was then that he finally approached—and his mouth opened.

“Oh sir, good-day to you, my Lord!” It was a cheery voice, for Sin was every cheery; and it was breathless as well, for the void in Sin’s soul fluttered in anticipation. “How very good for us, to be rid of vermin and an infidel as well, in one valiant stroke. I must ask how his corpse will be employed, though?” There was little time for the dull niceties of society—the eyes indicated as such, whirring behind the frosted lense of the monocle, Sin drinking in the image of the oversized ragdoll of horseflesh. “I wonder, perhaps, if I should be permitted into observance of the skull and its properties, and also, perchance, the shoulder plates as well? Or if I might be able to better observe the hoof of the creature, or its mane and tail before it properly decays; mayhaps I might take a look at its femur and knee, the ligaments of the creature—and yes, the creature is very much just dying, so that the organs would be in superb condition to analyze digestion…” The Disciple was quite gone in his ramblings; and though he could not strike a killing blow, nothing excited the Disciple so much as something so freshly dead and ready for scrutiny.
