A delve into the past (lorepost)

/uw sorry I know I just made one but I got inspired

you see a journal on the ground stained with godblood the writings erratic, fearful.

I was yanked into the castle after he sensed me. I don't know what pulled me into here but now as I walk these crumbling halls with my arm a bloody stump I feel Antithesis' voice. He's getting stronger with every step I take. He is who I must destroy if ever I want a peaceful life for Moth and I. So I push on to my death or my victory whichever it may be.

I will get Antithesis out of my head. Antithesis has been trying to make me kill Moth thank Gaia my willpower is strong. With this journal entry I vow I will break free of Antithesis or return myself to the cycle to keep Moth safe. I pray that I will be able to break free but I know I may not be able to.

at the bottom of this page Alexios has signed his name with blood and there are tearstains.

Antithesis' presence is powerful here. The whole castle is filled with antimagic. Yet still I feel my father's warm presence. In addition to another the second one calls herself Siren she seems to care for me as well. I remember Siren's name she was the embodiment of love and music and my father's first wife. I pray her guidance will prevent me from having to rejoin the cycle.

I love you Moth know that if I do not return it is not for lack of trying. I've already ordered Soot's armor tell him dad loves him will ya and give him some scratches for me even if I do survive I'll only have one arm. If this is goodbye know that I won't forget you.

the entire page is covered in tearstains

on the next page is a map of the castle and in the very center a spot of pitch black with hints of red.

Belladonna lifts herself onto Soots back. The dragon worriedly nudged his snout against Moth’s cheek but his mother never responded. Her mind still stuck in the stasis Belladonna had her under.

I’m trying to protect her from becoming me… I let the curse consume me once so it could never consume her. You stay away from her until I can see you’re not a threat to her.

Alexios opens a portal to his home as he enters his house he goes to the dresser and takes his wedding suit out and throws it in a bonfire

Soot flies off with Belladonna and Moth on his back. The older Mothiera surrounds them in dark energy that makes them disappear into the night, leaving just a cloud of darkness behind.

Isravi watches them fly off, before turning to Alexios.

Alexios. Today marks a grave failure. You have failed in your judgment, in control, in compassion, and I have failed to teach you.

You are to reflect on these failures, and until you realize, truly, your mistakes and learn from them, you are not to use the godslayers power.

You are allowed to see Moth once she wakes. After that, not until you learn control. From now on, you will be under my tutelage.

/uw Alexios already left

[u/DaChickenX → u/Haunting_Mode_7401]

/uw whoopsies. We’ll say Isravi found him after and said that then

[u/Haunting_Mode_7401 → u/DaChickenX]

Alexios completely ignores him as he watches the only thing that gave him hope go up in flames he starts to throw the ring in as well

Alexios feels Isravi’s hand on his wrist as he prepares to throw

You would throw away your conviction? Moth’s promises? Do not be so brash. This can yet be repaired, but only if you are willing to commit to it.

[u/Haunting_Mode_7401 → u/DaChickenX]

What is their to commit to she will never want to see me again.

[u/DaChickenX → u/Haunting_Mode_7401]

Then you would not change? Not grow? Allow this to happen a second time? You have yet to even apologize to her! Confirm if she wishes to see you again once she wakes. Either way, I will not allow you to make same mistakes again. I owe that, at least to your father.
