Father, I have carried such... such guilt for what I did. I did not mean for Marcus to fall. I did not mean for him to die.
He did not die, Solomon. If he had, this nightmare would never have begun.
He did not...? Thank God he's alive!
It was not through God's will that he survived.
What do you mean?
He was terribly injured by the fall, but he didn't die. But nor would he wake. No surgeons or priests could help, so I... I brought the sorcerer here.
You? You brought Malachi here?
I offered him everything I had just to bring Marcus back to me, everything. And he succeeded, Solomon. With his mirrors and magic, he reached into the darkness and brought Marcus back, but he was changed. And his face, so damaged by the fall, he hid behind a mask, and obeyed only the will of the sorcerer.
No, he cannot be my brother.
That creature is your brother. Or what remains. And now Marcus infects those who follow him.
