She smirked. "Would you rather try and raid the Crepusculum Archives, most heavily guarded library in the world, for an incomplete account?" She looked at him sardonically. "This is the only detailed record of his presence in existence... were you expecting something a bit more grand?"

"Coming for you...yes honestly, I was." he answered, approaching the book. "Is there any speical seal I should know about?"

"Yes... this book can only be opened by someone with blood from the line of NErezza."
She turned to him.
"Would you like me to open it for you?"

The simple inclination of his head indicated he wanted her to open it, the lord of Death found this stroll through the castle haunting, too close to his old memories.
"Zelos? Do you intend to leave?" a woman with hair of deepest night walked alongside a man who's hair just as dark.
"I do," Zelos answered. "The battle has raged to the point where all available warriors are called into the fight."
As the woman swirled to face him her hair flowed alongside her, facing the young warrior. "But, to call upon the heir of Death? What do they hope to accomplish?"
"I believe they seek the ability to avoid death," Zelos joked, taking the woman's hands in his own. "But their intentions do not matter to me. Just to be sure to take care of yourself..."
He paused to place one of his hands on her large stomach, "And our baby too."
The woman smiled and held him as close as she could, "Return to us, to me, safely."
Zelos mentally shook himself from his memory and looked up to see if the lock was undone.

The young queen had pulled out a knife from somewhere and held it to one hand. She sliced smoothly through the flesh, dropping a few drops of blood on the metal binding the book shut... it slid away, and the book fell open.

Hmph, how primitive. Zelos thought, walking to the book. "The book of Griever."

She nodded. "Yes, only openable by the touch of the royal blood of Nerezza... the only complete record of Griever, the god of destruction."

"Yes... it...hnnn." his hand flew to his head, his body trembled and his vision blurrred.
No...not... now...

She looked at him, concerned.
"Are you alright, Lord Zelos?"

"Yes I...Hck!" his eyes shifted from black to green and he fell to his knee, dizzy and feeling weak until his body gave way and he fell down.

She looked down at him.
"Evidently not."
Kneeling beside him, she placed one hand on his shoulder. "What is wrong?"
She knew that he wouldn't appreciate the gesure of comfort - he didn't seem to feel anyting but contempt toward human kindness - but still did it anyway. Whatever she was, she wasn't a monster. At least, that's what she told herself.

Zelos did not answer, his eyes were seeing everything in a new way. He couldn't focus right and he could feel himself slipping, he uttered a single name before his eyes closed.
"Marta..."

"Interesting... I wonder who Marta is," she mumbled to herself as the Sumata of Death slipped into unconsciousness. Sighing, she slung one of his arms over her shoulder and heaved him up, closing the book on the pedestal and exiting the room, closing and locking the door behind her while dragging the unconscious man. Snapping for the servants, she had him escorted to the guest chambers within the castle to recover.

Zelos slowly opened his eyes and found himself not where he thought he was, he looked around and spoke.
"Who's...there?"

A movement in the shadows, and from them emerged Lady Elexa. "I see you're awake... you collapsed in the library, Milord, and I had you moved here to recover... are you all right now?"
