Vers Sanctus (Holy Verse)
Before
He swallows demon blood and feels. Feels powerful, strong, resilient, unfathomable, unstoppable and capable. He's guilty because he can't get his brother back; then feels guilty when he does come back and he continues to swallow. It's slick and red and tastes like the heavens will fall, like the universe will crumble.
After
He swallows holy water and feels. Feels the slight burn as it flows down his throat, almost better than the best whiskey money could buy. He smiles ruefully as it burns, as it stings because it reminds him that he'll never be pure, never be clean.
