Chapter One: Artifact
Despite the retreating demons, Wrath raged on, decimating anything that moved in his path. Not even once did he acknowledge that his friends had regrouped and were calling to him. In fact, he had taken one of the retreating demons by the arm and leg, heaved them over his head and threw it with nearly the speed of a bullet, right past Louise's face. He could hear voices calling out to him and possibly the rest but only two that he heard mattered and with that he smirked. Wrath stopped where he was, nearly two football fields away from the group and slowly turned. His turn, was off...It held a predator feel to it, like a purpose. Then wrath's anger was shot towards the group, as he was pointing the barrel of vengeance towards them. Like a tsunami, it hit them, bearing down with crushing weight, but specifically pointed at Pride and Sloth, especially Sloth.
"Tell me mortal, what are the names of your friends.." Sebastian, despite the pain responded with venom in his answer.
"Ahhhh! FUCK YOU! I'd ever tell yo-"
"It matters not...The one called Jake will be snuff from the world anyway." It interjected.
GULAAAAA! UBI AUTEM EST ACEDIAAAA!!!
GULAAAA! UBI AUTEM EST ACEDIAAAAA!!!
Seb roared, Wrath's voice mixed in with his own. But wrath knew where he was. He could see him, on her shoulder. The anger built up again. But it was different this time. It held much more behind it. Something that only Sloth would understand. There was a second roar, but not from their possessed white haired friend. The lines on his body burned brightly as smoke rolled off of his skin. Soon the brightly burning lines sparked into flames, white flames that burned another 5 feet above him. Seb's mouth seemed to tear on either side as his bicuspids melted into molten, smoking canines. Four horns of smoke and fire made its appearance. With each step forward, the ground behind him was glassed by his footsteps, his jacket was destroyed and all of the markings could now be seen. He slammed his fists together, each one causing a cavitation in his own hands that sent the concussive forces towards the group.
Sebastian was definitely not there.
ACEDIA! EORUM CAUSA DOLOREM! RELINQUIMUS ARBITRIO EIUS!
ACEDIA! EORUM CAUSA DOLOREM! RELINQUIMUS ARBITRIO EIUS!
Latin rolled off his tongue with such coherency and fluency that it sounded as if it was his first language. Wrath did not wait for an answer as he charged forward, even faster than before and leapt up towards the group like a fiery bullet. Three heavy rights ready to strike at Jake, who currently, Seb could see as Sloth, or at least Wrath could. Inside of his subconscious, inside of wrath's abysmal fiery stomach, he could only sit there and watch this unfol-
Inner sanctum of his tormented mind...
"No...I cannot let him do this...Those are my friends. I can't let him destroy them." He thought through the pain and burning agony.
"Back off of them! Or I swear to God-" He shouted through the pain.
"There is Nothing you can do to stop this. There is nothing you can do to stop me. Acedia had this coming. He is the reason I was bound and sealed away. He will pay for his betrayal." Sebastian couldn't stay in there. Not like this. He was not about to go down like this. And so he had a choice. Either stay in the bowels of the rage-filled sin or fightback and attempt to escape. He made his choice...
He began to fight back. But on the outside, Wrath still remained dominate of Seb's body. Now the real fight began.
