“Please. Don’t speak to me.”

“Someone has to, brother. Someone has to speak for the one you took from us.”

He stilled in his tracks, turning to face the man behind him. It had been a while, but from what he recalled the face was still the same. The eyes glowed with divine knowledge, with eternity…but he was no stranger to those things.

“You had no right to sublimate him.”

“Don’t you dare speak to me of rights.” Epimetheus snarled in Tommy’s skin as he stalked straight up to Elpis, red eyes glowing with an unholy light. “I have seen what you know, you traitor! You could have prevented all of this!”

“At what cost? It was my lady’s vision, not mine.” Elpis shot back heatedly. “You expect me to defy the Fates and show favor to those responsible for granting it?! We serve those same Fates, brother, we do not own them.”

Epimetheus shook his head resolutely. “Had his struggle with self doubt been shorter, maybe he would have had the strength to face this final hurdle. You could have shortened his agony. You didn’t.”

“One more time, brother?”

“I said you did not--”

“Didn’t.” Elpis corrected, smirking. “Your speech is no longer your own. He’s getting stronger in you.”

“Were I you, child, I would fear death in spite of your divinity.”

Elpis lifted his chin with a proud sneer. “I am a god. I don’t fear death, nor do I fear pain.”

Epimetheus drew closer, stopping when red eyes met head on with dark, when a breath would have caused his lashes to brush the other man’s if he blinked. There was a pause…then a smile that promised every nightmare he next spoke of in simple, honest terms.

“You will.”
