Large doors were forced open-- any Blood Trooper or corrupted Sentinel of any kind was slashed down with the simple swing of a leg or a hand. His eyes were bloodshot from rage, his arm still throbbed in agony and all of the wounds he had only felt as though they became worse, but no. This pain-- he could handle it.
It could never amount to the pain his beloved son was going through.
Footsteps moved quickly towards Ezekiel's location, fingers slowly going over shackles, a hand lifting to touch him-- only to retreat a tad. Oh, god... He was so hurt...
" Ezekiel. Ezekiel, my boy... " Shu whispered, squinting his eyes... Despite the pain Shu was in... he smiled, as though everything truly would be okay. Reassuring. Gentle. So kind... With how the torchlight glowed behind him, he really looked like a savior. Like God himself had come down through Hell just to save his beloved lamb.
" I've come to take you home, my sweet boy... "

Back again...
That was his first thought upon vaguely registering the sound of the swinging door. There were too many prisoners here to count but at this point, Ezekiel would wager he was one of Davoth's favourites. What was it going to be this time?
Although, when the image of that demon but a man that looked like Shu that stepped through the door - well, that was enough to momentarily jolt him awake.
Shu had been his rescuer back at the orphanage all those years ago. His saving grace, as if he were an angel sent by God himself. He had thought of Shu a lot since being down here, cried out for him in some of his weaker moments. Could Davoth read thoughts? Memories? At this point, Ezekiel would believe anything...
The moment those ever so gentle fingertips grazed the marred surface of his torn, blood-soaked skin, Ezekiel violently flinched.
"GET AWAY." The words came out in a sudden burst, screamed so loud that his voice cracked. It didn't sound like Ezekiel. Not at all. For a moment, there was no sound in the cell but the Reverend's ragged breaths and the incessant chinkling of the chains as he railed against them, like a vicious dog on the end of a too-short leash. And Shu, it seemed, was his target.
A moment of manic staring, his voice then dropped into a near murmur, bloodshot eyes ablaze as they gouged venomously into the vision before him.
"He'll kill you -" he hissed, looking up and down what he thought to be a mere image of his father, something of an unhinged smirk now leering at his lips. "He'll find you and fucking skin you alive!!!"
How dare he...how dare this fucking MONSTER abuse Shu's image-?!!?!!
