SketchSukeEstavius makes his way to the highest and deepest part palace, he comes into a giant room with a single large ornate door guarded by two soldiers in much fancier armor, torches line the wall and a large arch window opposite of the door shows a view of the rest of the palace and the capital. Estavius walks to the door and the guards open it without a word; Estavius steps through into a long room, in the middle a large round table with seven seats and in the back 7 thrones with the tallest and most ornate currently being occupied. Sitting in it lies the very person who the established the society within this purgatory, on the throne sits the Eternal Queen Lucielia, she sits one leg over the other and her head resting in on her fist, her large sword and shield at the side of her throne. Estavius walks towards the throne then kneels before her, "Your majesty, I have returned," "it is good to see you Estavius, what do you have to report?" "The corruption...it's spread is growing more and more, I had to slay around twenty corrupted who were attempting to attack the city, almost slew a young Reaper assuming he was corrupted as well." "I would not fault you in doing so, he would fall to corruption sooner or later like the rest of them and devour the souls around him..." "I also fear to report that the corruption is also growing more severe, reapers just gaining there abilities just to fall to the corruption seconds later, there are even rumors of it starting to spread to normal souls." The queen's eye's widen as she moves her head from resting on her fist, "What!?" Suddenly a noise is heard outside the door with muffled voices, "Stop! What do you think your do-AAAAAGHH!!" One of the guards is sent flying through the door, in the door way stands a normal guard from the lower parts of the palace, red eyes glowing through his helmet, a bloody sword in hand and the corpse of the second guard behind him. "M-must f-f-feeeeddd...s-s-s-s-s-oooo h-hun-hung-hungery..." The corrupted guard then looks up at the queen, the crazed look in his eye growing wilder, "s-s-such a marvelous m-m-m-meal! S-s-such a delicious SOUL!" Estavius quickly draws his blades and the other guard struggles back to his feet, then the corrupted soul begins to charge, "I'M SO HUNGER-!!" Before he could even take two steps an ethereal spear sudden pierces his chest and sticks him to the ground, before he knew it ten more rush an skewer him, Estavius looks back to see the queen standing up, her arm outstretched pointing at the slain soul and four more ethereal spears behind her while giving a cold yet sorrowful glare. She then turns to Estavius, "When Gadavolt and Vedovaste return we are to have a meeting, this corruption must be stopped," she turns away for a moment and looks mournful for second before regaining her composer "...at any cost."
