Inside Astaroth, another change was happening for the umpteenth time, and his mind struggled to adapt.
The divinity fragment that had once been wholly sealed inside him, which eventually freed a part of itself to become Nemus before another part separated from the remainder to become Geminae, was no longer caged.
The cage had been broken once and twice, and now for a third time, and this time, there was no more caging it.
The cage shattered the moment Astaroth came into direct contact with the fragment, and his soul shuddered. It swelled in power as the lines of runes that Geminae had inscribed were being erased.
Although Geminae did as the fragment had ordered him to, he suddenly feared for his continued existence. He was technically a part of this divinity fragment, and now that it was assimilating into Astaroth's soul, he feared it would absorb him, too.
