Video; un: darkness (Backdated to November 28th)

[survivalthroughhate]

[Maul looks very grim when he starts off the video.]

Since some of you might wonder where he is and since he had messages for me to pass along to some of you, I'm here today to tell you Wesker is dead. I killed him.

[He quickly goes on before any screeching or condemnation can start being thrown his way.]

It was not out of malice, amusement, or anger. It was an act of mercy. The zealots took him and by the time I found him he was little more than a corpse but somehow still breathing. There was no hope for his recovery.

[Maul's eyes shut for a moment, still seeing the eviscerated body lying on the table that looked more like an autopsy victim than someone still alive, lungs and heart able to be seen and still working despite all that had been done to Wesker's body by those seeking his blood.]

I'm not sure how he lasted even that long with what they did to him. I ended his suffering. Hopefully, he will be back in a short time.

[There is a private message afterwards which is only sent out to a handful of people. Vira-Lorr, Luz, Orpheus, and Ariadne.]

He asked me to pass on a message to you.

I've been trying to keep track of them myself. The first year is bound to be pretty crazy since we have no idea what to expect.

[About the one thing that was becoming apparent is that there would be some strange thing with the blood].

That sounds about right. Thank you.

[Luz knew very well that it didn't make a lot of sense in a conventional way, but the way she thought about it, it was a physical way to remember what had already happened to her in the old town and this new one].

[survivalthroughhate]

Expect the unexpected. That's all that we can do.

[Maul sighs and rubs a hand on the back of one of his shoulders. They're carrying a lot of tension after all that he has gone through.]

Stay safe, Luz.

[Then he clicks off the video. He needs some time to contemplate things.]

[imaglyphwitch]

That's so vague and annoying, yet it's the truth.

[Luz looks slightly defeated, but nods].

Thank you for passing me the message, Darth Maul. I'll see you later.
