Chapter 7

The Knight has been at war with young Erighan, who has until now slept
dormant, content to hide from the trauma of his father's death and allow the
Knight to live in his stead.

And so the Knight, a living lie who despises untruth, has sought the help of
Akresius to carve away the boy in hopes of becoming a truly genuine being.

It did not go well.

The Imperator of the Sanguine Chalice has woken the boy, and the Knight is
terrified that the child is trying to take back control of his body.

The Knight now searches for ways to dispose of the boy before it's too late.
Oddly, the concept of reconciling with the boy has not yet crossed the
Knight's mind, perhaps because he sees the child as foreign, or a figment of
his own imagination.
