The hound Cerberus addressed the Boy Legion from the entrance of The Sanctuary.
'Ye Fury, I've come to fetch you for my master' he said.
Legion walked along the path to al'ahmars throne where he sat, with the Other at his right side.
'Kneel' the Other commanded
'Should I? I am his accomplice after all, not his consort. I am his equal.'
'I would lower your tone boy'
'Do not call me boy!'
'Lower your tone, bastard child!'
'I AM NO BASTARD!'
'ENOUGH!' Al'ahmar boomed. He continued:
'You failed to bring me the 'slinger, boy. Did you not have him in your grasp for almost HALF A DAY? YOU CHOSE THE FORM OF AN INFANT AND ALLOWED HIM TO SHOOT YOU IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! YOU HAVE BECOME SLOPPY! CARELESS! SLOW! And apparently you alienated my favourite daughter The Oracle. She succumbed to him. Lost her way. Betrayed me, her own father!'
Legion roared 'Your sources say she meant to betray us THE WHOLE TIME!'
The Other squirmed and shrieked 'Lower your tone! I may be your-'
Legion brought his right hand forward and clenched it into a fist. It sent out a shockwave that broke the Others neck where he stood some 5 feet away. His knees buckled and he collapsed.
'Take your Legion, boy, and bring me back the Knight, and my daughter. Return to me empty handed again, and I will bathe the hallways in your blood.'
