Boy: "P-please don't hurt me..."
(Dustin walks up to the castle)

Boy: "Waaah! I don't even know him! Let me go! He you people just started chasing me and I got scared and ran away! Please! Release me!"
*thrashes weakly*

(the boy sobs)
Boy: "Please let me go... I-i... I haven't done anything to you! I wanna go home..."
(Dustin enters. He has an odd aura to him...)

Dustin: "Of course he dodges your questions... He isn't even supposed to talk to you."
(Dustin walks up and sits on top of the boy's chest. He stares into his eyes.)
Dustin: "Tell me... Tell me!"
Boy: "Ah! I-i don't know what you mean! I'm just trying to leave, run from others! I-I'm not your enemy leave me alone! I'm not telling you anything! Never! Go away! Waaah!"

[good luck to you! :D]

Dustin: "Quit whining, Sage-ling! Tell me what you know!"
*he shakes him silly*
Boy: "Waaaaah!"
(a small pocket book falls put of the boy's jacket and opens up to a page with an odd sigil on it)
Boy thinking: "...This is my last shot! Gotta make it count!"
(the book slams his hand on the book and shouts at the top of his lungs)
Boy: "IGNIS!!!!!"
(bright, white flames burst out in all directions, engulfing the entire throne room.
It doesn't harm Eznier of anything else, but Dustin is thrown backwards, engulfed in the flames)
Dustin: "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
(He writhes as the fire burms away his body and soul. The fire eventually dies out and the boy is already gone, the chains are broken.
Dustin breathes heavily, his body is horribly charred, galf his face is missing and his chest is burned to the bone.)
Dustin: "aaaaahhh....*Wheeze* *cough* nnnnnggghhhaaaa...."

Dustin: *wheeze...* "aahhh..."
(he isn't getting up... he's half curled up, and looks horrible. He coughs up chunks of charred flesh.
The boy runs through the castle and comes upon Ezmel's room. He goes inside and sees Ezmel.)
Boy: "..oh, did they hurt you, too? You look terrible. Let me heal you."

(the boy smiles sadly at Ezmel)
Boy: "Oh, dear.... you've been hurt soo much that you fear everyone... I won't hurt you. I'll respect your wishes if you want, but I implore you: let me heal that wound. I fear not the Forsaken One. I fear the one who is with him. Those who are chasing me without end.... *sob* I-i... I didn't even do anything to them and they chase me. They bite at my heels! I-i... I try to go home, to get away, but they won't stop! They divert my path everytime! What do they want with me?!" *cries*
(Silvery tears run down his face)
Boy: "I-i don't know the way out! I'm almost trapped! I think that man with the blonde hair is an End... he chased me... I hurt him... even though he was coming after me, I didn't want to hurt him... I don't want to hurt anyone! Waaaah!"
(he keeps crying)

Boy: "D-don't loose hope... Even though the End is winning, we still fight back... I forsee that you will be free one day... I wish to ease your pain... but... if you don't want me to help, then I won't.... I-i'm sorry... I hope to see you again... my name is... Sophos. Sophos Scriptum. It means "wisdom writer"....I hope to someday live up to that. I.... don't know what to do... That barrier is up... I may just have to let them take me... ugh...."
(mean while, Dustin is still lying on the ground)
Dustin: *cough* "Gack..." *wheeze*

Sophos: "N-no... don't.... I-i didn't do anything to you... l-let me go..."
(he backs away)

Sophos: "ahhh... please... no... I-i don't want to hurt you... please... stop this..."
(he put up his hands to cover his face and keeps backing away.
Dustin tries to move, but he can't... he lies there in agony)

(Sophos stares with silver eyes at Eznier. He slumps to the ground, realizing how helpless he is. He looks at the ground sadly and murmurs to himself. He silently sobs)
Sophos: "...Angelika... forgive me..."

(Sophos' blood is silver and quite thick. He can't bare to watch and looks away, quiet tears running down his face. In his mind he recants an old peice of poetry over and over, trying not to think about the to.rture.
Meanwhile, Dustin tries to crawl, but... well... he can't. He trys to blot out the pain... much like Sophos)

Sophos: "Of course it does... it has been purged in the Sage's Fire. It is like tasting life itself, I'm told... ugh... Angelika... please... forgive me... Angelika... Angelika..."
(he closes is eyes and cries more)

(Sophos screams at Eznier furiously)
Sophos: "NONE OF YOUR D.AMN BUISNESS! IT HURTS ENOUGH THAT YOU ARE DEFILING ME, DON'T EVER SPEAK HER NAME, FORSAKEN B.ASTARD!!"
[you don't want to pi.ss off a Sage... even if he's weak... ono]

Sophos: "There's nothing you can do that won't put out my rage if you keep this up. This is my warning..."
(an End-ling teleports to the throne room... It binds it's black, oozing body to Dustin and helps him stand. It covers his bruns with it's body and slowly starts to heal him... he staggers forward. He holds the oozing creature against his burned chest.)
Dustin: "My thanks, friend."
