The people chose Vi." Noah's tone, already as cold as the frost that covered their lands, seemed to drop into an even more arctic zone as he took a step towards the ascended. "Unlike you, with your timely disappearance, Halo honored Morgan's life and death with tradition." The Warden could feel the blood boiling beneath his skin, and the hair on the back of his neck stood on end. He wished he still held the ability to speak with Deimos privately in this form, before the words Noah spoke next.

Neron, on top of crimes for which you were never rightfully punished, I charge you with the murder of Morgan Aristomache." Just when you think there's a settled score The battle has been reborn |
