Ezrael, the God of Innocence and Life
Ezrael couldn't believe this God. Was he trying to convince the young god out of this? Ezrael couldn't see how he would ever escape the tangle he had twisted himself into, even if he wanted to leave this all behind. But he couldn't. He couldn't just stand by and let Farazia get what she wanted. He couldn't let suffering and oppression continue for these poor mortals, especially Vixen. She, like every other assassin, hid dark pasts. Secrets they didn't want to share, unspeakable tragedies they didn't want to live through again. He couldn't let Farazia usher in the end of days, where suffering and pain will be a thousand times more bitter than anything in the past.
It shocked Ezrael to the core that Xerxes would say such a thing about Death. She had done nothing to deserve this God's gratitude, or any God's for that matter. She may have banded them together, but don't the deities know what disaster that treacherous unity could usher in? Ezrael would never call the followers of Farazia friends, much less family. They were blind, incompetent fools, unable to see Farazia and this 'bond' for what it really was. Ezrael glared at Xerxes and his stretched-out hand, his offer like poison to the young god's ears.
"It is too late for any escape, Xerxes," answered Ezrael coldly. "I will not cower and hide again, not when Farazia threatens the whole Earth an the life it holds with this foolish, wicked plan of hers." Ezrael's voice was tainted with heartache and longing as he uttered these last words. "Even if I did wish for things to go back to the way they once were, that is nothing but an impossible fantasy."
