Thomas' characteristic sympathy is gone, replaced by a cold, hard gaze. "You want to know the real reason that Adelaide made you sign that contract, Jorge? Because she knew you would.  I'll admit, she's a lot cannier than I gave her credit for. Then again, she's had eyes on you for a long time, long before you came to Whitemarch.  She knew what kind of special evil you brought with you.  She didn't bother consulting with me, and I'm glad she didn't, because I would have tried to talk her out of it."

He stands back up, sticking his bloodied hands in his pockets. "And I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that there's nothing that could stop you if you decided to march on her Realm. That just proves how stupid you really are.  You think she hasn't planned for something of that scale?  You think she hasn't dealt with threats like you before?  She has.  You just didn't know about them because she has a habit of stopping threats before they start.  So how does it feel to be only the latest in a long line of empty efforts by a powerless goddess?"

He sneers. "Because that's what you are now. I'm done lying for you.  To myself, to my family, to Nezon.  She knows you've abandoned her.  She knew even before I told her.  You know what's going to happen now?  You get to leave behind your last chance at salvaging your humanity.  You get to live with the thought that the next time you see her, she's going to look at you with a hatred that you instilled in her.  Congratulations.  Your goddess must be proud."

He turns and walks away, back into the darkness from which he emerged.
