“I am no longer worthy. I am sorry.” [ @ Aichi Ahmes]

At last...At long last the wait that spanned hundreds of years was finally over. For Prince Ahmes, the last of the vampires royal family, had once again returned to walk the Earth. He had prayed with his dying breath for fate to reunite him with his beloved Toshiki in that life or the next, to finish what they started all those years ago and bring the world to a better place. It was those strong feelings that had allowed his spirit to sleep within the mark of possession he had placed on Toshiki’s neck after leaving his body, a mark that contained his great power that later had been passed to his modern day reincarnation Kai following Toshiki’s own death. 

He is unaware of what has been going on since that night he left his own body, nor does he know anything about the lives of his and Toshiki’s reincarnations, Aichi Sendou and Toshiki Kai, up till this point. And honestly? He doesn’t really wish to know. Ahmes had more important things on his mind than dwelling on what happened between then and now, like establishing order in this chaotic world he had found himself in.

He can already tell just from his surroundings how different the world was but how same it was too. Sure, it looked different, smelled different, but it still contained the very things Ahmes hated about it back then: vampires and humans. Both creatures were equally monstrous in their own ways in the ruby hues of the prince. They lied, they cheated, they stole, and they tossed each other to the wolves for the sake of their own survival. Even in these modern times, the prince just knows that hasn’t changed. Perhaps these strong feelings had been even further fueled by Toshiki and his reincarnation’s own feelings during his slumber, hence why he can’t look at anything around him other than Toshiki and Ashlei in disgust. 

This disgust, of course, then extended to the blue-haired male who approached him. Despite being in the body of a human now, Ahmes would know those rusty hues and formal tone anywhere. After all, how could one forget the face of the very person who ruined your life by ratting you out to your own father, and caused your love such anguish for no reason? 

“Percival...It seems your soul too cannot seem to rest...” Ahmes’ voice is cold as the other apologies, clearly trying to seek his mercy. It seems like it finally hit him just what sins he had committed that night, or maybe he was just fearful for his own life now that the prince had returned. Regardless of the reason, the prince has not forgotten. The pain Percival had inflicted upon him and Toshiki was forever seared into their souls. For if it was not for him, then what has happened and what is to come would not have occured...

Ruby hues then shift to look at Ashlei nearby, an arm raising to point towards a bag she had on her person. Even after all these years, it seems her past as a Jeweler was something she just could not let go. A red aura appears at his fingertips, the prince focusing and levitating a golden collar from her bag to his own hands. He knows this one quite well, for it was the very same one Toshiki had around his neck for so many years.

One might wonder why she would hold onto such a thing, but the prince can probably guess it’s because she wanted to hold onto it so one day the prince could destroy it with his own hands. Ashlei understood the prince’s feelings, hence why she was the only other person on this Earth other than Toshiki that he could trust. He is happy to see her still faithfully holding onto the sword he is to inherit as well, a sword Ahmes knows will be quite useful for his plans.

For now though, his focus was on Percival. He could easily kill him. Despite not fully getting used to this body, one that was recently turned thanks to Toshiki’s reincarnation, it’s something easily doable. Grabbing his sword from Ashlei would also make it a simple task. However, the prince has something more fitting in mind, something a former Liberator like Percival rightfully deserves.

With a flick of his wrist, he sends the golden collar straight at Percival’s neck, instantly locking it on him with his own power. Normally a talisman gem would be needed to activate the Jewelers devices, but his power alone was strong enough to use it without such a thing. The fact any vampire needed one in the first place just shows how weak they were in comparison to the royal family, vampires who were clearly more advanced and had much more abilities than anyone else in their species. 

And Ahmes had inherited them all...to do with as he pleased...

“ ‘Sinners must be punished.’ Isn’t that what the Liberators always used to say before casting Judgement upon sinners?” The prince steps forward, his cold expression twisting into a smirk unlike any he’s ever had on his face before. “So, then, you must have no objections to being judged for your own sins, right? Unless you think you’re above your own rules...” 

The vampire takes a step forward, the collar no doubt keeping Percival in place. He couldn’t run or hide from him now, and there was no way he was going to let the other go go free. That would be a sin in it’s own right. This, what he is about to do, is what scum like his former knight truly deserved for the sins he’s committed against the prince, his love, and every other innocent he’s ever falsely judged in his long life.

True Judgement was about to commence, and it’s about to make Percival’s own holy blue flames seem like a spark in comparison...

“You have done many, many sins in your life, Percival. Too many to list. You might think you were doing justice, but that was just a lie to hide your own darkness.” The energy around the prince’s finger tips begins to surround the other, clouding the sight of him from view of everyone else in the vicinity. “However, the greatest one, the greatest mistake you ever made, was hurting the person I most treasure in this world and trying to break the bond I have with that person...And that...is something that I cannot ever forgive...In this or any life...”

The energy then builds in intensity, as if preparing itself to burst at any moment. He was going to make this last, for a quick punishment was not suitable for someone who constantly burned Toshiki’s hands over and over for his own selfish reasons. Ahmes hopes Toshiki is enjoying this, enjoying seeing his tormentor finally get what he is deserved. The prince only can apologize that he had to wait so long to witness such a sight.

“You are to suffer the same pain as Toshiki and I, an endless pain that will not cease until the day I let you leave this Earth. For that is the punishment you, the ultimate sinner, deserve...”

“This is...Judgement.”

Ahmes then moves his hand down rapidly, the red energy then finally coming into crash into Percival’s body all at once. The sensations he was to experience would feel like a thousand small cuts are being made into his body, each one slashing him with more intensity. It was a constant barrage of pain all over his body, one that would not stop till the body Percival had found his spirit in was at it’s limit. After all, he didn’t want to kill the man.

That would be too merciful if he did...
