With Prince Halvar dead, Silas mourns the dead of his only son with Hel and still holding Halvar in his arms.
"The poison, It is from poison from Stheno. Is it not?"
"Yes, if it wasn't... I'm the one that claimed his soul and able to resurrect both of them."
Outside the temple, Nereus alongside his siblings is performing the execution towards the man who killed both Halvar and Lorelei.
Nereus grab his trident and pale him with his trident before scattering his body as display outside the temple to show a fate to those who commit a crime against the King's family.
Liana enter the hall and instructing Hel to leave as Hel and Liana leave Nereus enter and tell the high priestess and any other people in the room to leave Silas and him alone and so they did.
"Do you remember the sight of your first dead?"
"I do, the first day I battle invader of Roman." Nereus replies," Mine is my own mother, i watch her body bloating with gore and fly swarming her body. It was the hot desert of Egypt where I witness my first date." Nereus put his hand on Silas' shoulder," I will find whoever did this to our son and make them pay."
"Good, i want to see the head of whoever did this is display in the entrance of Atlantis." Silas look at his dead son one more time before walking away. Nereus walk to Halvar and brush Halvar's head," I'm sorry I couldn't protect you... my boy... my beautiful boy." A man in a robe approach him," Your Highness." He bow.
"What?" Nereus raise his voice," We have discover the poison that the spy used to kill Prince Halvar and Lady Lorelei." Nereus wipe his tears and walk to him," It is from a creature called Lavellan from Celtic Land. One drop of it's poison able to kill 100 kettle and even able to kill a daemon." Nereus nods. He walk away and retreat back to his chamber.
"Lavellan Poison." Liana still in mourn receive the report about the poison," Where is King Nereus or Lord Silas?" She ask the servant.
"King Nereus and Lord Silas both in the royal sanctum." Liana put on her cloak and fine herself walk to the royal sanctum to see Nereus leaning on his table while Silas sits near the fireplace and looms over the fire.
"The Lavellan Poison, I know where they got them." Liana said which make Nereus and Silas jump from their spot.
"What?"
"Two days ago I received a news from Amaroqian soldier who lives in Caithness about a half of dozens Lavellan missing."
"Do you think Vulcan is behind all of this?"
"He is a prime suspect but Vulcan wouldn't hurt Halvar, he might vile but he have honour not to kill child for their parent's sin." Nereus said firmly," Vulcan is not the only enemy of Atlantis."
"Proteus." Silas speak up," He killed Halvar and Lorelei!"
"Si, don't judge into conclusions... we haven't heard from him in ages and he's still incarcerated."
"Not quite." Hel appear beside them," You see Morana have lead an uprising under Vulcan's banner and have escape their prisoner and one of the prisoner that escaped is Proteus." Revealed Hel. Nereus clench his fist and then hit his desk furiously until the desk crack into two.
