varus. /// vengearrow.
So the Darkin have been lost to time, recorded in the annals of history as demons; debauched beasts that haunt the past, their presence in the present ever fading. The mortals say the Darkin are monstrous, when so many monsters and heroes, even wretched gods, are all cut from the same cloth. Oh, so many monsters lauded as great men. It makes Varus sneer with contempt, his eyes smoldering balefully. He has lived in the sore absence of such ignorance for so long, after all, festering with burning resentment in the repressive darkness of that damned cage. After all of his years in damnation, he has thought: it was a great mistake to seal him and his kin away instead of destroying them all, to think that they could bury their ghosts.
“My name is Varus. I am the arrow of retribution, and I will pierce you for forgetting your kind’s sins.” He spares not an inkling of intrigue for Rakan’s charms; there is only that cold, familiar anger, and it sings to him with renewed vigor. His corrupted hand clenches around his crystalline bow, and vermillion flickers around its limbs, coursing like lightning around the center, until the shape of an arrow is formed and howling with energy. Varus raises the bow, aiming right for the heart. With this arrow, he would teach this carefree Vastayan terror and silence. “I gift you this pain to remember me by. Savor it.”
TO LIVE IS TO SIN. to live a life without sin is to not have live at all, for sins come in variations, one's sin could be simple lie to lovely maiden in attempt to charm & seduce her, yet another's sin could be the blood on their hands, reliving each grotesque, vivid memory over & over, praying for deliverance from this grief that burdens them. ah, the many faces he's seen, albeit this one's unique ( bonny, even. every part ), lusting for revenge. how amusing the thought. to fall for temptation of revenge to don bravado of a false justice for the darkin, whatever that was. how utterly wicked man can be, how each is so interwoven with sin itself. in his long years alive, the cycle of sin shall endlessly repeat, & that only bestows more responsibility on others ————— it is not his problem. he is candidate free from responsibility's task, one to laugh at free entertainment. for once, he is the audience. this is no different.
