Uriel wasn't ready. But who ever truly was?
He'd wanted to take his time to forge his Path. Time to sort out his mind, time to come to terms with his own demons, time to accept himself.
But he'd have no such luxury.
He'd have to forge his path now, through fire and ash.
He didn't know how to forge a Path, not truly, but he had an idea.
BANG!
The air around him exploded as a dark aura rose around him, the seal his Will had placed onto his Sin coming undone.
But not only that, this time, Uriel opened himself up to the Sin and its madness. He opened himself to the endless emotion and chaos within.
He opened himself to the past.
'The mass of corruption from my Sin is just a sum of all my failures…of all the shards of my Will that broke as I endlessly and inevitably died.'
Ariel's words had been simple and offhanded, but they explained a lot to Uriel.
Corruption was born from a collapsed Will.
