Day 5 resist (sacrifice/corruption/secret)
Tw: mild gore, mention of death, (temporary) child death
It hurt.
Despite all of the potions and salves that were ment to numb the aria in question, each careful, measured cut of the knife stung like a brand, buring hot and sharp.
But he could not stop, not even for a second. Stopping would make him falter, make him bulk and if he were to do that, he would fail at his task, his vital, time sensitive task.
Viren gritted his teeth, and carefully worked the tip of the blade between one of his ribs and the edge of his sternum.
He had to do this. His son would die if he didn't.
Your son is already dead. A poison laced voice in the back of his mind hissed. Dead and laying on your office desk.
Lissa, his sweet, strong Lissa.. she didn't know his plan. This last ditch, desperate plan that had already cost him so much, that was already staining his skin a ashy grey.
She was yet to find out about soren- no, if she was to find out that he'd passed whilst she was away on urgent business, she would never forgive herself.
He'd lose both of them.
Another rib came away with a stomach twisting sqrunch, and another, and another. Viren kept his eyes fixed on the scene playing out in the mirror he'd set up for this task.
He'd never convince anyone to help him with this. Even Mr experiment on thy self Kpp'Ar, like he'd be any use to anyone any more.
The sight of his own exposed organs was enough of a shock to the system to temporarily nub the pain that came with the handful of ribs that covered his pounding heart.
The fat sack surronding it was a suppriseing shade of yellow, and came away easily from the muscle with a couple of flicks of the knife.
He placed a little of the fat in a bowl - it would be needed for the final spell.
Viren paused, and steeled himself. One wrong move here, and it would be all over.
Over for him.
Over for soren.
Just over.
But there was no time to think about that now. He took a deep, steading breath, angled the knife just so, and cut into his beating heart.

He was cold.
It was probably the shock of what he'd just done.
And blood loss. Probably. There was a high chance that that was starting to catch up to him, too.
But he'd managed to put his ribs back into place and slap some potent healing salve on under the banages that now bound his chest together before his strength finally failed him.
He could feel the magic seeping into his skin, flesh, and bones. Each breath, shaking and wheezing like he'd just run up the steps of the north tower from courtyard to ramparts, was slowly getting easier, and less painful.
Small drops of relief against an ocean of pain.
He flopped, boneless and weak in his chair.
His time piece, a delicate metal marvel that Harrow had gifted him on his wedding day chimed Somewhere behind him, telling him that at some point the it had stopped being late at night, and started being early in the morning.
He turned his head to look at the sad, still bundle that was his son, still wrapped in his blanket and cuddling his plush dragon to his still chest.
In a few short hours, Claudia would wake up, and come looking for the two of them.
And Lissa was due home not long after.
.. he couldn't fail them.
Viren pushed himself to his feet, ignoring the way his head swam and his chest burned, and hobbled over to his desk, leaning heavily on his stalf for support.
He still had so much work to do, and so little time to do it.
