Dark Haul Page #3

He's testing the soul.

He's only flesh.

Weaken the body,

damage the flesh,

you weaken the beast.

There's no reason for this.

I'm sorry, Z,

we can't take a more chances.

Give me the key.

Frank, Corley...

give me a moment, then come in.

We can feel it, you know,

when you cut us.

This has to be done.

Please, Damon.

I can control him.

This is the cost of your freedom.

Zib, there's no other way.

You need to understand that.

Please don't make me do this.

I can't.

But you will.

Ready?

Now, Zib.

Now!

Stop.

Zib...

I need to know that...

I could have controlled him.

No, you couldn't.

And you didn't.

Just who I wanted to see.

I was hoping for a moment of your time.

What do you wanna talk about?

Well, Damon, I want to talk

about a lot of things, all right?

If we're gonna do this,

you should come inside.

Same as before,

my answer hasn't changed.

Beast or man, one shall fall.

And one rise triumphant

where root first struck earth.

I know the prophesy

as well as you do, Knicks.

Then why don't we just end this?

Because I will not be a party to the beast

ascending to infinite power, that's why.

What about his death?

Will you be a party to that?

He killed two dozen of men yesterday,

and you hold the key to his destruction.

If he wins, mankind falls.

What if you're wrong?

He isn't.

You agree with him?

I've been doing this my entire life.

I know the scripture

better than any man alive.

And, yes.

I agree with Knicks.

More accurately,

I agree with Tito.

So all of this,

all of this is your doing?

I'd hope you'd listen

to a unified front.

We have him contained and weakened.

We have our whole reliquary in our truck.

If there was ever a time to do this,

it's now.

And what if we're wrong?

For 300 years,

the Keepers have been keeping,

and if we don't kill him now,

what was it all for?

We give our lives to tread water.

But if you're wrong, Knicks...

Well,

I will have done something.

I will, at the very least, have tried.

So I'll tell the men

about our change in destination.

Wait.

Let me tell Zib.

She's not gonna like this.

There's one last thing.

What's that?

She has to die, too.

She's not like her brother.

I know you believe that.

But she has a devil in her.

But she can be saved.

What was that?

What is it?

It's probably just a raccoon.

Or a halo if he's trying to distract us.

They just cut his wings off.

He's not strong enough to send a halo.

Ssh, shh shh shh.

I'm here, brother.

I'm here.

Friendly! Friendly!

Hold your...

We're not done here.

Not by a long shot.

Let's go. Let's go!

What's going on?!

Everybody stay calm!

Stay calm!

Remember your training!
