You know normal people go boxing to blow off steam.
You shattered a guys femur with your elbow.

Lia Vex/fl

Zeke Ryker/fl fr.
Apparently not. New kills match your style. surgical. silent. No traces... only he's messier angrier.
Nova Graves/fl fr.

you two are natural predators. Twins in war.
Camellia Vex/fl mum
But only one of you will lead. Emotion is failure. Attachments are distractions.
Kieran
I don't need her. I just need to see who bleeds first.
Lucien Vex/fl dad
That's your cousin,Kieran. Your equal. Until one of you breaks.

You left me in the fire, Lia.
They screamed. You didn’t even look back.
Now it’s my turn to not look.

Kieran/Echo wraith
(In shadows)You were always faster, cleaner.
But you left me behind, cousin.
Now I leave marks where you used to leave silence.
Lia Vex/fl
*pointing blade*You think being broken makes you special?
I’m what happens when the broken stops caring.
Kieran/Echo wraith
We were family.
Lia Vex/fl
Exactly. Which is why I let you live.
A mistake I’m correcting now.
[Fight Scene – Brutal. Fast. Ugly.]
Two masters of death.
One precise. Cold. Focused.
One erratic. Burning. Loud.
Kieran/Echo wraith
You don’t even flinch anymore.
What are you?
Lia Vex/fl
*slashing across his chest*Empty. And efficient.

Kieran/Echo wraith
*gasping*We could’ve ruled…
Lia Vex/fl
(whispers)I don’t rule. I erase.
Nova Graves/fl fr.
So... family reunion went well?
Lia Vex/fl
He got loud. I fixed it.
Zeke Ryker/fl fr.
That was the only person with a past tied to you.
You’ve cut the last thread.
Lia Vex/fl
(quietly) Good.

Kieran “Echo Wraith” is gone. Confirmed.
The Gravedoll just made it official. Again.
Someone find a new nickname for Death... she already took that one.
[Alias: THE GRAVEDOLL – STATUS: UNCHALLENGED]
No family.
No ties.
No mercy.
Just the sound of silence… and snapping bones.
