"We meet" Cedric spoke in a low voice, his gaze locked forward at the man he perceived hatred for.

For a fleeting second, his gaze rested on Pavlos, the pair exchanging eye contacts, each one of them staring at the other in a strange way.

Cedric stared at him one more time, and as memories flashed in his head he looked away, turning his attention back to the rest.

"How beautiful it is for us to finally have a word with one another" Cedric smirked.

"You monster!" Orion spat.

"I want nothing more than to break your bones, make you feel the pains I felt, right before I kill you"

Cedric smacked his lips, listening to Orion. He paid close attention to him, not interrupting any of his utterances.

"You see, you and I are so much alike, Orion. We both were picked up by strangers and taken in as kids. We didn't get to know what the love of a mother feels like. We had no friends, our childhood was taken away, our joy. That's what has turned us this way. Brought rage in our hearts, and left us as dead humans"

"It would hurt me to kill you, Orion" He spoke in a low voice.

"The cruelty in your heart's unmatched. You're a beast!" Orion retorted. His lips quirked while he spoke,

"Now, I must take that as a compliment" Cedric smirked.

"But the problem is, i'm not the one with a cruel heart, after all, I don't lie to you. I don't hide my identity and fake to be an ally of yours" He uttered.

"What are you yammering?" Aiden asked immediately.

"Good question. Doesn't it feel so good to have a company of friends, but how the joy turns around when one is found to be a traitor"

Aiden stared around in confusion, confused on what Cedric meant.

"Since you're all gonna die at my hands" He began

"I guess it's polite for me to reveal the truth to you"

"You've all been fooled, mocked and insulted, by someone you thought a friend" He chuckled lightly.

His eyes rested on Pavlos as he spoke, peering closer at each word he pronounced.

He began moving towards him, with a smirk on his face, watching as Pavlos suddenly got uneasy.

"You put yourself in a far better body, took yourself back to the joy of youth, and then made run into a secluded village, one where no one would know you" He uttered to him.

"I must say you've changed. In every way" He added.

He paused for a moment, roaming his eyes all over Pavlos, accessing his features and give a short laugh.

"Would you be polite as to making the revelation or shall I do it myself, Costa?" He finally uttered.

Bellona gasped, hearing the name.

"What's he talking about?" Elpida asked her.

"You didn't tell your friends?" Cedric uttered, like he knew not about it.

"It must hurt for them knowing about it this way?"

"What's he saying, Pavlos?" Bellona spoke in a low voice.

"Pavlos? I see you changed not just your face, but everything about you"

"Inthan rofalle pushahn" Cedric began chanting, with his fingers pointed directly at Pavlos.

Mushrikyahnuilygenuyl He yelled

Bellona's eyes widened, shock filling her, as she watched Pavlos slowly transform into someone else. The figure still wasn't clear to her, as he still was in transformation with the commands of Cedric's words.

In an instant, a gust of wind passed by, filling the area with what seemed to be fog, completely clouding everyone's vision.

Aiden coughed out loud, waving his hands in the air, trying to brush it away, and understand what was going.

The fog soon cleared away, bringing complete still and Silence, while everyone stared at the strangeness that suddenly got replaced in the room.

Behold, stood forth, a man with hair as white as the clouds and beard longer than the body of a growing rabbit.

He stood right at the spot where Pavlos previously was, and this time he didn't appear weak.

It all became clear to Bellona as she stared at the man whom she grew up knowing as Pavlos. The one she caught frogs with when she was little, the person she would always run to whenever she was alone and scared, the man whom she taught had lost his whole family, the same man she saw in Pavlos' cottage.

He was Costa, and in fact been lying to her face all this while.

All those stories he made up about his family being dead were false. It was hard believing that he was the one who tried killing her in her dream, not until Zephyra showed up.

She had been beside him always, laughing with him, sharing childhood stories with each other, learning about myths and legends, running in the village together.

Tears dropped from her eyes, down to the grounds as she stared at him.

"Who art thou? Costa" Cedric joked.

"I've missed you, I must admit. For years, I thought you were dead. Not until, moments ago, I saw into your eyes, peering at the lies which rested there"

"The lips may tell lies, that's for sure. But the eyes don't, Costa. I saw through your façade"

"You can never hide your true self from me. After all, you were the one who taught me the spell of revelation" Cedric chuckled.

"Remember how you would always yell that I wouldn't be able to master it? Fortunately I did, and it just happened to work on you, at a time when needed"

Costa remained quiet, just staring on at Cedric with a straight face.

"You're a brave man, Costa. Fleeing right after killing my father" Cedric uttered.

"You convinced me to kill him" Costa spoke.

His voice was strong, filled with much energy and not a single fear laced in it.

"You plotted with me to kill my father, I didn't convince you" Cedric retorted.

He paused for a moment, shutting his eyes and smacking his lips, and then he went on.

"I wanted him dead, but so did you......I had a reason, you didn't!" He thundered

"A dozen eyes are on you right now, that's why you feel the need to lie and cover up your sins, by utterances of good"

"That's something I wouldn't in a thousand years do. Lie to cover up for my sins and be seen as the saviour.

They all view me as a monster, one who would kill every now and then to satisfy his flaming heart, but you, you Costa are trying to be seen as a man of purity, yet, you've got a hundred and one secrets cramped up in your heart"

"I am true to myself, cause I've got respect for my existence!"

"You wiped out your whole family" Costa said to him in a low voice

"And I admit to that, Costa. Yes, I did it"

"I was a young boy, who yearned for nothing but a good life, a good home"

"You had that all" Costa spoke to him.

"I didn't! That wasn't my home!"
