Our examination for the following day proved short and succinct. It seemed it was on everyone's minds to find out what exactly Montmorency meant by claiming divinity. Surely a divine power was purer than anything a mere mortal could hope for? If not... well, a distraction taken care of, at least. When the Emperor demanded my record of everyone's decision, it was clear who would be handed over. Montmorency raised an eyebrow at the Emperor as he walked up to the altar. "Are you sure you wish to do this? You know who sustains your power. It is not these mortals," he said, gesturing to the crowd. "You know what I offer is far more substantial. Abandon this now." Montmorency narrowed his eyes as he stood in front of the blood-stained slab.

"You are a blasphemer! I am the Emperor! The gods have given me the power of divine judgment! I am divine will incarnate, you are nothing! Now down onto the altar, or we'll force you down." Montmorency grinned. "Now!" the Emperor ordered. Montmorency just chuckled.

"I would like to see your guards try. Do you truly think they can subdue the god of slaughter?" As if to answer, TheFluffyOne, Landlubber, and Zaccino moved behind him, each placing a hand on one of his arms. He looked around, suddenly angry. His eyes blazed a golden hue. "You dare touch divinity?! For you, the deal is off." A bright light flashed through the room. The Emperor staggered back, blinded for just a moment. When he could see again, Montmorency had vanished. The three soldiers each were scalded all across their fronts. Scorched sinews stared back at their ruler as they collapsed in a heap. "We are not finished," a booming voice rang out. "This is not the end. Your suffering is not yet over. Prepare for oblivion. For the few brave enough, I look forward to seeing you again."

I stood next to the Emperor in pure shock. He was standing like a statue. The rest of the remaining group looked to him questioningly. "My lord..." I whispered. "What now? What do we do?" He shook his head slightly.

"Go."
