Priam: "Well, be that as it may, humans are such fleeting creatures and frankly feeble minded. They would destroy themselves eventually. Better you rule, than a bunch of blithering idiots."
Logos: "I've never seen a human... I wonder what they are like...?"
Priam: "You may smell them before you see them. heh... You'll see them eventually."
Sophos: "........"
(He goes and pulls on Ezmels arm for him to come to Priam. The closer you get to him the calmer things seem, an almost relaxing presence)

Priam: "Well, Augustus gave Eznier a dying world to feast upon, I shall give it to you as well. There are always worlds falling apart out there, so if it finally dies, you will be granyed another one. This way you don.t have to rule by fear and you will survive. Come here."
(He pulls out sheet of paper similar to the one given to Eznier. He hands him it.)
Priam: "Now... Sophos..."
*Priam seems to gaze at Sophos intently. You can't see his eyes. Only his flashing razor teeth when he speaks*

Priam: "mmmmmm....... his heart still sleeps.... the seed of hate has been planted... despair and destruction will come... hmmm... what to do..."
(He reaches to Sophos. He undos his neck buckle. He examines his neck, thinking... He begins to unbuckle his chest. He examines his right side. His dead side...)
Priam: "Hmmmm... what to do... I'd rather not rip it out, but... hmm...."
(Sophos is getting a bit freaked out now.)
Logos: "W-what are you doing?!"
Priam: "Quiet child. I'm trying to see if I can prevent him from reverting into a.... primal state. He may destroy this world if that happens. I must stop it quickly, but I'm still unsure about a few things...."

Priam: "hmmmm..... his heart is trying to beat again... unforunately.... I'd rather not... but... mmmm...."
Logos: "Sophos... don't destroy the world. That's not a very nice thing to do..."
Sophos: "........" *still mute*
Logos: "C'mon tell me you won't do it, tell me!" *hugs him as well*
Sophos: "........." *he has a pained look on his face...*
(he may never speak to Logos again. He never said "good-bye" when he left. What is going to happen to him? He doesn't know. He looks up at Priam for an answer, but recieves none. The Ancient Sage is silent.)

Priam: "Faith will not save him. I must take out his HEART. Lay down boy. I'll try to make it quick."
*Priam looks around*
Priam: "Once I remove his heart he needs to be kept very warm. His chest will remain open until his body form a new heart, which may take awhile... he needs a place that is similar to his body temperature..... you." *looks at Ezmel* I will need you. Understand? You must keep him safe and try not to jostle him."
(Sophos reluctantly lays down. Priam bends over him. He pulls put an operating knife.)
Priam: "Leave, Logos. You don't want to see this. You are too young."
*Logos leaves reluctantly. He stands in the hall, anxious over Sophos*

(Sophos looks into Ezmel's eyes. He squeezes his hand. Sophos closes his eyes.
Priam brings down the knife and begins to operate. Dark silver blood flows from him slightly, but not much, acually. He reveals his heart. It is very dark gray, almost shriveled. There is a dark mass growing on it. Priam quickly removes the poisoned heart. and seals his veins back together. His body starts to form a new heart very slowly. This may take hours. Priam nods to Ezmel. He is finished. He stands and cleans up the blood. He holds the wretched heat in his hands.)
[Sages have 4 circulitory systems, one for each heart, helping them survive if one heart perishes. The other hearts will take up the slack and pressure will not be lost. He didn't bleed much because that heart no longer worked and blood no longer flowed through those veins. Only the veins with living hearts bled.]

Sophos: I feel.... odd.... my right side felt heavy before, but now it feel like there is nothing.... I dare not move... my body makes me stay put... Thank you, Ezmel.... urrrghhh... I feel.... tired.....I..... unnnn.....
(His mind slips away. He falls asleep. Priam looks at the nasty heart)
Priam: "hmpf... hard to believe this is similar to what my hearts currently look like..... bleh..."
*he pulls out a small jar and puts the dead heart within it and puts it in a large pocket of his*
Priam: "I suppose it can be studied. I advise you not to move much. You don't want to jostle him.... Logos you may come in now."
*Logos enters the room and looks around*
Logos: "Where is he?"
Priam: "Taking a long nap. He needs to rest. Say, do you want to keep playing that game?"
Logos: "Yeah! I was beating you!" :D
Priam: "Ahahaha... yes, yes you were...."
*he pulls out a white pencil and they resume playing*

(When Ezmel awakens, Sophos is still within him, healing and asleep. The room is covered in white sigils and complex Formulas. It kinda looks beautiful. Artistic. Logos fell asleep in Priam's lap. Priam is awake. Sunlight comes in through the window.)
Priam: "mmmm.... you are awake... *sniff* I smell humans approaching.... could they be your servants?"

Priam: "Cursed Knight, you say.... that doesn't bode well... there are usually more than one around... they almost never are on their own.... You only saw the one, for sure?"
*there is a knock on the door*
Priam: "hmmmmm.... your servants are here... atleast they don't smell as bad as other humans..."

(Priam get's up and opens the door. It's Naimina. She's been looking for Ezmel and Sophos for awhile now... >w<)
Priam: "Hello, human...." *smiles sinisterly*
[hiz razor teeeeeeth.... aaaahhh!]

Priam: "Heh... good. He knows how to behave... I hate it when lower life-forms freak out for no reason.... it is foolishness."
...
.....
.......
*....clank...*

[ono]

Priam: "Logos. Stay with Ezmel. Keep him safe. I will find it. One only needs to follow the sound of their steps....."
*clank*
.....
*clank*
.....
*CRASH*

(Priam leaves the room, insearch of the Cursed One.)

(Priam searches for the cursed knight)
Meanwhile:

Wraith Knight: "Hyahahaha! Come here, mortal! I sense your fear!"
(The Wraith Knight smashes his mace against a wall, severly cracking it. He is going after Quez, who is almost cornered.
Th Wraith Knight has black, wicked armor and a tattered black cape. He kinda looks like Sauron from LoTR)

Wraith Knight: "Coward! Come and fight me, flesh-ling! I wasn't sent here just to sit around! I want action! FIGHT ME!"
*continues pursuing Quez*

Wraith Knight: "Haha! There's a good mortal! Come at me!"
*he blocks the attack and kicks Quez. He swings down his mace*
