The two vampires and displacer beast made there way towards cazadore astarion stayed close to Sorin cazadore: who stands before us is this truly are prodigal son DO NOT SLOUCH BEFORE ME BOY have you no respect for yourself Sorin: DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK TO HIM LIKE THAT cazadore: look at you crawling back after abandoning your family you should be begging for our forgiveness astarion: forgiveness you've never forgiven anything every mistake every slip was punished cazadore: I strove for perfection in all things even in things as imperfect as you it's a pity that you amounted to so little despite my efforts astarion: no no fuck you AND FUCK EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE EVER DONE TO ME Sorin: you're going to pay for everyone that you've hurt cazadore: I will not speak to a vampire lord who would disgrace themself to have relations with a pathetic spawn this is between me and the boy astarion: you son of a bitch cazadore only smirked at the spawn astarion charged at cazadore going for a punch however cazadore stopped him with a red light from his staff red seals were around astarion wrist cazadore: you truly forgot my power you truly thought our bond as creator and creation was all that  stopped you from killing me hmmm you are weak my child you are a small pathetic boy who never amounted to anything but today you will finally do something worthwhile you will burn and I will ascend suddenly astarion was sent flying towards some kind of alter he was engulfed in a red light and his shirt was torn off his body Sorin: ASTARION astarion: no stop him and get me out of this Sorin nodded and pulled out his sword cazadore: WITNESS THE BIRTH OF THE VAMPIRE ASCEND ECCE DOMINUS Sorin: shadow cover me while I get astarion out of there Sorin said to the displacer beast who nodded at him in return Sorin quickly ran towards astarion cazadore sent wolves after sorin but they were quickly dealt with by shadow whiskers sorin managed to free astarion and the two quickly went to attack cazadore after awhile the two vampires had the upper hand until cazadore hit astarion point blank in the chest with lightning causing him to fly back a few feat that really set Sorin off in a matter of seconds he had cazadore on the ground with his sword pointed at his throat he was about to plunge his sword down when he felt a presence next to him avacyn: don't this isn't your battle to finish Sorin widened when he heard that voice it was avacyn Sorin: I'm not going to kill you now get up Sorin said while glaring at cazadore with sword still pointed at his neck by that point astarion made his way to Sorin's side he had a pretty large burn mark on his chest from the lightning cazadore: get away from me worm he said while looking at astarion astarion: I'm not the one in the astarion said while picking up his knife that he dropped when he got hit with the lightning by that point sorin stepped away he had to let astarion finish this astarion: one last thrust and I will be free of you I'll never have to fear you again but if I finish the ritual you started I'll never have to fear anyone ever cazadore: you think me a fool that I would allow anyone to usurp me speak the words and ascend in my place hm the runes I carved into your flesh you and all seven thousand souls to the ritual complete it and those bearing the scars will be sacrificed you included you are simply a means to a end I made you to be consumed cazadore said smirking astarion: I am so much more then what you made me sorin come over here we can do this Sorin: you can't finish the ritual you'll kill All these people astarion: if we release them how many people will they kill tens of thousands hundreds of thousands but if I complete the ritual think of the power I'll have I will finally be good enough for you sorin: astarion you were always good enough of for me I love you the way you are I want you to live a life you can be proud of you can't be proud of this astarion: you you really mean that Sorin: yes Sorin said giving astarion a rare smile astarion: you your right I can be better then him but I'm not above enjoying this astarion then proceeded to grab cazadore by the hair stab him multiple times until finally he was Dead astarion was sprayed with cazadore's blood after seeing what was left of cazadore astarion just started sobbing Sorin quickly came to his side and embraced him Sorin: it's ok it's over now he can't hurt you anymore sorin said running his fingers through astarion's hair after a few minutes astarion calmed down and broke away from sorin's embrace astarion siblings were Free from the alters and started to approach the two vampires dalyria: is is it over is he astarion: yes he's gone petras: what does that mean for us Sorin: it means you're free you can do whatever you want astarion: it means you have a choice you can hide here living in the shadows like parasites or you can be ,ore then what he made us to be you can choose differently of course but the consequences are on your head delyra: and what does it mean for them she said referring to the spawns astarion: ah now that is a question sorin: let's release them they deserve the same chance you got astarion: he's right the poor wretches In the cell's they shouldn't have to suffer because I lured them here astarion said while picking up the fallen staff and banging the bottom with a Red light all the spawns were freed astarion: they'll need someone to lead them take the tunnels into the underdark find somewhere well not safe but less perilous Petras: what no we can't astarion: just try to keep them out of trouble astarion siblings started leading the spawns through the tunnels delyra: sorin was it take care of him he cares about you a great deal he also says you have the most beautiful golden eyes he's ever seen astarion: DELYRA astarion shouted with a bright red blush Sorin: you have my word sorin said chuckling delyra smiled at the two and made her way through the tunnels astarion: I I think we're done here let's go astarion said making his way out of the chapel Sorin by his side and shadow whiskers close behind Sorin: I'm so proud of you Sorin said astarion: thanks astarion said smiling at the taller vampire
