Lucien sat in his bedroom, gauze wrapped around his neck, stained with blue blood. He sighed, shivering from the pain. Katelyn stepped into his room, looking concerned. "We have Cerberus contained in a cell, would you like to see him?" Katelyn said softly, seeing Lucien nod and stand up.

Lucien and Katelyn went to the lower floor of the kingdom, where the old, abandoned cells were, seeing Cerberus in one of the cells, strapped to a chair, his head drooped down. Lucien looked saddened, "we believe the traumatic event cause a trigger of his..rot. Thats what its called, yes?" Katelyn said, seeing Lucien nod. "Its almost an animalistic state, like hes rabid..." Katelyn said. "Can i go in.?" Lucien asked softly. "Y-Your highness, thats highly dangerous..you see what he did to you-" Katelyn stuttered, looking shocked. "Please..i want to try something.." Lucien said. Katelyn sighed and nodded, unlocking the door to the cell, letting Lucien step into the cell. "Cerberus..?" Lucien mumbled, not getting a response from Cerberus. Lucien set his hands on Cerberus's cheeks, holding his face gently, Cerberus had a clouded expression, not looking at Lucien. Lucien sighed and his hands began to glow white, seeing through into Cerberus's mind. Lucien was struck with pain, sadness, anger, he gasped in pain, gripping his head. Lucien looked at Cerberus sadly, cupping his hand under Cerberus's chin. Cerberus grabbed Lucien's wrist with his somehow free hand. Lucien gasped, looking afraid, Katelyn grabbed another sedative, ready to protect Lucien. Cerberus quietly stared at Lucien with his blackened eyes, making Lucien look nervous. He gently let go of Lucien, dropping his head again. Lucien quickly left the cell, looking at Katelyn. "Are you hurt?" Katelyn asked, looking worried, seeing Lucien shake his head. "I think i should get to bed...i can't handle anymore of this." Lucien mumbled, Katelyn smiled sadly and hugged Lucien. "Get good rest Lucien." Katelyn said softly, the two leaving the lower floor, abandoning Cerberus.
