Memories (S1 Ep.8-6)

Joan looked at the scar without any recollection of its existence.

Joan: May I? – Asked rising her right hand toward Mikhael’s chest.

Seth: Don't make it hurt too much...

After a small moment of hesitation finally landed her hand over the scar and spoke – Admonet me. – So, the memory of the moment invaded her mind. "Mikhael like a dying man lying on the ground, what appeared to be a cave, without his left hand and holding a bloody sword on the right hand. She saw herself kneel next to him and sink him with a dagger in his heart. While holding it with one hand, she put the other in the open court. When removing the blade, replace it by a stone repeating, over and over again - hoc ad te pertinet, hoc ad te pertinet… - With each repetition, she put more intensely in her words. The wound started closing leaving marked the place of the dagger. With this, Joan, made a cut on her hand, then put it close to Mikhael’s mouth. - Drink my brother. Let the power of my body go through yours and you will never be a slave to the darkness again. I promise you, that I’ll make whe ever did this pay!"

With a sigh of agony Joan withdrew her hand from Mikhael chest and for a few seconds she was shrouded in her thoughts. She felt the size of his pain, a pain that it went thru the body to the soul. But Joan didn't understand what she had done.

Seth: Joan, are you all right?

Joan: What a gift!

Seth: I'm used to it.

Joan: What do you mean?

Seth: Only my body was free, not my spirit.

Joan: I don't understand? You're here in broad daylight!

Seth: Although my body no longer reflects the effects of the Sun, I...

Joan: Tell me!

Seth: I keep burning on the inside. The magic have its price. And the scars that you don't see on the outside are engraved in my soul. A small reminder to not forget my place.

Joan: No!

Seth: Rebecca, It's a small price compared to your sacrifice. Let me show you. – He put his hand on Joan’s and told her. – Repeat, “Videre per oculos tuos.”

Joan: Videre per oculos tuos…

Instantly Joan was guided by the thought of Mikhael. Showing her what happened moments before she found him and after. Quick flashes revealed the memories of two faces that, in this present live, were very close and were part of the past of Joan. These were the faces that have provoked her rage, bringing to mind the inability, of Joan, to save her sweet and dear Katarina. These were the faces of Anna and Elizabeth!
