"It's alright."
Zorc is laying before her. At the mercy of her power. And yet, all she can feel for him is pity. He had fought as hard as he could, tempted as many as he could through lust, greed, power, more always more.
That was the nature of darkness. The ability to accept everything. To take everything. To consume and devour and want more and more. To consume to excess. The darkness would take everything, devour everything.
That was why the light existed. To take it back. To create balance.
Zorc had over stepped his boundaries. He had forgotten.
She hears faint whimpering from him as one by one, the Contracts of Darkness are dissolved and power is forcefully wrenched from his grasp. It is only a matter of time before his servants are gone, one way or another.
She kneels, cradles him in her lap. He's slowly shrinking, bit by bit, energy being torn from him.
It must be painful.
"Are you happy?" His voice is soft, sibilant. The final question of the defeated.
She smiles at him softly.
"No."
She brushes strand of hair away from his mortal container's face-
"I'm sad."
- and leans down, plants a soft kiss on his lips. Her touch, infused with the power of the Light spreads through him and his container slowly fades away into particles of light.
For a long time after, Horakthy sits there, smile frozen on her face.
And if a single tear leaks out from an eye, there is nobody around to notice.
