Yes

“Alright, alright!” she grimaced summoning the soul of Dillion from the power produced by her crown which Senua coughing and clutching her arm darkened rushed to he surprised soul, “She doesn’t know does she?” I shook my head before commenting, “Senua!” “What?” “He’s still dead... this isn’t him being brought back to life! He is nothing more than a voice with emotions, his body is such a shell which moves and talks. Emotions... well he will still feel them but you can’t do anything!” “What are you saying?” “He was better off dead!” Hela snapped, “No! he should have been laid to rest!” I spoke examining the wounds, “I still have him here, with me and that’s all that matter!” I shrugged before looking at Hela spoke, “Alas we will never understand this love, it makes me sick!” “Like drinking molten lava!” I nodded as she coughed, “Your money is in the chest!” I walked over before studying the sum threw it at Senua to catch, “Take it. Like I said... not everything is about money!” she nodded before seeing me draw my sword removed the crown to line up the shot to Hela’s neck, “Now it’s just you to deal with!” she nodded closing her eyes but hearing a crashing sound opened her eyes to reveal me smashing the crown that tied her to Helheim, “Me freeing you from your imprisonment is my prize, it’s about time you got to see the sun once more!” she watched as I scooped her up in my arms and handing Senua the torch who in turn held Dillion’s arm spoke, “Lead the way!” “But why?” Hela spoke, “Because I’m not going to let my friend die!”

We walked out of the complex whilst Hela clung to me shielding her eyes seeing the light for the first time in centuries, her body curled naturally into my chest for cover, “Where are we going?” “We’re going home and Senua... I suggest you come with us if you want Dillion to last!” she nodded taking his hand whilst I looked down to Hela and spoke, “You are going to meet the family! So don’t be an ass!” she laughed before stopping at the beach we waited, “What are we waiting for?” I pointed to the boat as it sailed to the shore and the black-eyed man wearing his dirty clothes spoke emotionlessly, “This is much unexpected Damian!” I nodded before handing him the coins spoke, “All three payments to take them to Elysium!” he counted it before offering his hand to Senua studied her arm, “She’s ill!” “I know and that’s why we need to move... he’s dead and this is a wounded goddess!” he nodded before waiting for me to place the goddess in the boat and kick off, “I thought you were meant to kill the human?” “Change of plans...” “Persephone?” “She will be as sweet as a nut, trust me!” “Nuts aren’t sweet...” Hela spoke and shrugging I spoke as the boat sailed away, “Okay as easy as killing a child!”

The boat reached the shore, Keira watched smiling despite her earlier argument, Gratian watched as his father help led the lady out of the boat her, lover holding onto her arm as she thanked him, her arm was completely black which he alluded to before scooping up the other woman to her feet watched as Keira immediately ran towards him, “You made it!” he nodded before hugging Gratian spoke, “Boy, go and fetch Asclepius please, we need his help!” he nodded running off as Keira studied Damian’s face seeing the mark that was now permanently there and poorly treated, “You didn’t kill them?” “No one died well apart for all the guards, Surtr, Valravn, Gram and the goddess part of Hela!” “She caused all this! Why didn’t you finish her?” “Because Keira, Hela is my friend, I’m her only one; she was neglected by her family and I promised when I was young to free her from the prison so she could be free. She is!” “You need to get that seen to!” Persephone spoke but shaking his head Damian encouraged Senua forward, “Her condition is worsening, it seems Helheim triggered the progression faster, I’m not the only who was affected by the place! Hela also needs her wounds treated!” Persephone nodded helping Hela to a seat whilst Damian threw his swords to the side and sat down on the step groaning remembering what he had seen, “Damian, I...we need to talk!” Keira gently spoke but shaking his head Damian snapped backs, “Please not now. I am aware that we need to sort this all out but I’m not in a good place at the moment; my head is all over the place, I keep seeing the images of the horrors in Helheim and the voices in my head are tearing my head apart” she sighed before storming off, Damian just rolled his eyes until he heard, “Abigail wants to see you!” he nodded before getting up heard Keira speak, “Please we need to talk! I want to talk to you!” “I will but please my head burns from the voices crying out in pain. I need time alone to sort my head out or I fear for everyone’s safety!” she growled before snapping, “There’s no point! What I have to say is important and you are just finding an excuse to avoid it!” “I’m not!” “Keira he isn’t making it up! Helheim does this to people who suffer his condition. If you want evidence ask Asclepius about his younger years health issues!” “Maybe I will Hela, maybe I will!”

Asclepius studied Senua’s wound before agreeing spoke, “You’re right Damian, I can drain the blood but the arm will have to come off, she can keep injecting herself with your blood to combat the spread but that’s temporary or.... we can try to **** methods; kill her or turn her into Isu, but I am forbidden to do such on this land without a main patron Isu consent” Senua looked at me which I immediately returned before saying, “I grant you permission!” “I can’t accept that, you aren’t considered a patron anymore, just an ordinary Isu; however... if you claim someone would you can convince them whilst I perform the operation!” I nodded before smiling shook my hand, “I need a favour!” “I’m already doing this for you and helped Hela, what more do you want?” “No, I need help myself!” “That cut, really?” “No, you remember that issue I had when I was young?” “The voices? They are back?” I nodded causing him to rush to his bag before handing me the ingredients spoke, “I Sorry for that, I wish I could sort it out!” I nodded before studying the ingredients spoke, “Thanks Asclepius, I’ll head over to Persephone now!” he nodded dismissing me and walking out saw Keira waiting and was clearly listening to the conversation, “What’s that?” “It’s...it’s for my condition. I had this when I was a young child. It sort of pauses the voices and slows my brain down. Hopefully after this kicks in we can talk!” she nodded before walking in let me carry on to Persephone.

“Asclepius!?” “What now?” he sighed turning around before bowing to her spoke, “I’m sorry I didn’t know, pregnant again?” “Maybe...” “Want me to test?” she shook her head before speaking, “That can wait. But I do have a question about Damian!” “What?” “What’s “wrong” with him?” “You doubt him?” “He hasn’t really told me anything apart for his “head isn’t straight” is he lying?” “No... he does have an horrible condition; that we all thought he had overcome or at least silenced. As you know that the job/role chooses the Isu. You know he was angry, cold hearted, violent, had a sense of justice and all that but the one thing no one told you was the voices chose him. The voices is abnormal condition which involves hearing voices and seeing delusions; he only has the voices but unlike Senua’s his is a lot worse and more darker than that. Zeus keeps claiming it’s one of his “gifts” but no one can understand the suffering he goes through” “What does he hear Asclepius?” “The voices of the dead. What their last words were, he heard how they died and worse of all can see what happened in a sort of premonition!” “Oh and they are back?” “He manage to silence them by ignoring the cries and suppressing them but since Helheim which is another beacon and much stronger source it has returned. The chemicals he has calms his brain activity down! He wasn’t lying to you...” she nodded before sighing spoke, “I should apologise to him!” “Just remember he isn’t going to be as active as he usually is, he will be sort of more mellow!” she nodded before walking away began to track her “lover” down.

Keira stopped to see him with Abigail, she sat on the step whilst he began to tell her of his adventures and what it was really like, how he felt there and she expressed her glee in it, hoping to see the giantess herself, “Can I? Can I see her? Please... please... please!” “Of course but she must rest now!” “Why didn’t you kill her father?” he laughed before leaning in spoke, “Now why would I kill a woman that I know you will like? My friend and previous lover...” “Lovers? Were you together?” “Yes and no... She took my virginity when I was barely a boy and in a way kidnapped me, she was lonely and I gave her company until I was rescued a few decades later!” she smiled before saying, “I wish she was my mother, imagine you and her my parents! No one would dare mess with me or irritate me... she could teach me everything dark and deathly that you couldn’t!” he looked up seeing Persephone who hurt spoke, “I’m sorry I couldn’t live up to your expectations!” she wept and Damian looking at Abigail ordered, “APOLOGISE NOW! She may not be the mother you want but she still cared for you!” she nodded before bowing her head wept, “Yes father!” he turned back around before slumping against the steps grabbed his head with his head sighing, “Women!!!” he looked back up and sighing once again spoke as he saw Keira, “Yes that conversation. Let’s talk whilst the voices are quiet or do you still doubt me?” “I believe you!” “Yes only after you checked. That’s hardly believing!” she looked down before stepping forward spoke, “Let’s talk!”

I stood there waiting for her to speak but what I expected didn’t initially come, “I’m glad you didn’t kill Senua!” “No I just butchered most of her Helheim’s guards and helped kill one of Hela’s Isu created monsters, I then removed Hela leaving Helheim in a terrible state!” “I know but Gratian got to see the good side of you. Something he never usually gets to see!” “Keira... I have destroyed the natural order in Helheim, no one there to ensure the job is done properly, it now has 3 less lead Isu figures there, I got injured both physically and mentally and all you care about is how the boy see’s me!” “Well when you put it like that but it was important for him to see that and understand he won’t be a mindless and aggressive killer when he is older!” “Whatever you say!” “Whatever I say? He is your son!” “I do know but I can’t just keep destroying natural order for the sake of him seeing me in the right light!” “You have commitments!” “And have I not been fulfilling them?” “You have been sleeping around!” “And getting payed for it which went straight to you and Gratian. Abigail had very little attention and she doesn’t complain!” “No she is just like you an heartless bastard!” “If that’s the case then at least we know I am still functioning properly. I’m not to have emotions or feelings but I felt protective and care for the children’s birth and love for Triss and Philippa!” “And me? What about me?” “I don’t know. You were my courtesan but apparently that isn’t enough for you!” “I want to be your wife! Or do you not think of me as such? I’m just easy girl that can’t say no? Hmm?” “I don’t know, whatever you want to it to be. I can’t believe you even want to argue about this... I thought you were trying to take Gratian away from me or something, not this!” “Good father. I hate her; she doesn’t understand and won’t understand you!” “Abigail apologise” I yelled but growling she snapped, “I am defending you! She thinks you are something you’re not!” “Thank you for your contribution Abigail but this is private, go and play with Gratian for now!” “No! We are leaving you. Gratian get yours bag! You are a bad influence on him and as long as you are like this, I don’t want your near him. You aren’t the man I fell in love with!” “You fell in love with a worse monster than I am now!” “I don’t care! Stay away from us until you have sorted yourself out and tell you evil daughter to. I won’t have her trying to kill us like she did with Triss!” “Triss is here?” “Yes and she is looking for you... she’ll probably open her legs for you like everyone else!” “Keira!” “I don’t care anymore... sleep with your redhead, love your **** or fuck your grandmother, who cares? I don’t!” she wrapped her arm around Gratian before storming off waited for my protests which never came what came instead was, “Keira! Stay here with the boy, he needs a place to learn, live and feel protective in. I’ll go!” she nodded before watching me leave began to cry to herself, was this the last time that she would ever see me?
