Stratum VI:
Seraphic Gallows

Shadowverse Erralde, head of the family, only ever considered one man his friend—
his trusted consigliere, Omerio. However, hearing Omerio betrayed him
for the opposition that plotted to replace him, Erralde succumbed to bottomless rage.
Now, imprisoned in Azvaldt, he plots a jailbreak
so he can finally deliver justice to the man he considered his friend.
Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond Standing in his way is the enforcer Uneriel—none other than Omerio himself,
transformed by a curse. Though freed from the curse, Omerio confronts Erralde in hopes of
laying bare the truth behind their severance and the answer to the lingering question:
Which of them truly betrayed the other?
  1. Havencraft

    Follower of the Tenets (unevolved)

    Though I had nothing, I still sought a place to belong. But trust had no place in the slums—not when a stale piece of bread held more value than human life. Yet it was in those filthy alleyways that I met Ral, who had ran away from home.

    Havencraft

    Follower of the Tenets (evolved)

    He was massively asocial, hopelessly stubborn, and suspicious to a fault. And unlike me, he had everything he wished for. His very presence commanded subordination, but I wasn't jealous—I was charmed.

  2. Havencraft

    Agent of the Testaments (unevolved)

    The other family members shunned Ral for his talent. But even if no one could understand him, I would be his wings. The joy of knowing that I and I alone had his trust was reward enough.

    Havencraft

    Agent of the Testaments (evolved)

    I joined the faction opposing Ral to tie up any loose ends behind the scenes. "I may be involved in things that you'll find suspicious, but know that I am doing it for your sake." Hearing that, Ral accepted my actions.

  3. Havencraft

    Vow of Devotion

    The day you became the boss was the day I became your consigliere. I pledged my life to you. I swore to be your wings. And how did you repay me? All of it was cast away like rubbish at your very whims. To hell with my oath. My wings will strike only where I deem fit!
  4. Havencraft

    Executor of the Vow (unevolved)

    A member of the faction asked me if I had any interest in becoming the boss myself. It was nonsense, but before I knew it, that very nonsense was proposed to the former boss.

    Havencraft

    Executor of the Vow (evolved)

    Ral knows where my loyalty lies. He must. But why then would he not listen to my words?
    ...Ah, I see. From the very start, he never...
    —Seraphic Gallows: Memories of an Enforcer, Part 6
  5. Havencraft

    Juratio

    Even if you bore no ill will, you are no longer necessary to me. You who spoke of unconditional loyalty. You who had everything I desired. You could never understand my hatred. 'Til death do us part, was it? Then death it shall be.
    "Forge the oath, Juratio."
  6. Havencraft

    Erralde, Signet Convict (unevolved)

    I welcome our reunion. After all, my wings, this is farewell. Be it our vow that day, or my memories of you, let us end everything, once and for all. With my own two hands, Omerio, I will erase the pitiful adoration that troubles me so.
    Havencraft

    Erralde, Signet Convict (evolved)

    I loathe to admit it, but I've always averted my eyes. I've hidden from the radiance that is your faith and the darkness that is my craving of it. And when I was forced to face them, my envy drove me to pass judgment on the source of my turmoil... you, my one and only.
  7. Havencraft

    Omerio, Winged Revenant (unevolved)

    What would it take for you to admit that you were wrong? That you betrayed me? It was all your fault from the very start. Ral... No. Erralde. Even if you couldn't trust anyone else... why couldn't you have trusted me?
    Havencraft

    Omerio, Winged Revenant (evolved)

    I swore to become the wings on your back. I devoted my entire being to you. You were my everything... And what did you do? You ravaged my purpose, my reason for living! Now face the consequences of your arrogance!
    "Rend the source, Libertas!"
