"Then talk with him,"

She urged gently, a serious tone leaking into her voice- not a cruel one, but an almost concerned one.

"If it wasn't serious, he wouldn't turn to you."

-Without another word I disapparate.-

-I return back home, taking it in one final time as undoubtably I would not be allowed to return here for my actions, but my current status as a fugitive would make them question me and it would ruin the validity of my story.-

-I'd rather live as a villain than see my brothers and family hunted.-

-With that I make my way toward the cells.-

Persephone leaned lazily against the wall of her cell, looking at her fingernails with distaste.

It really was boring here...

-I approach the cells and point my wand at the glass at Persephone's cell.-

Persephone looked up within a moment, wincing, expecting the worst.

"I haven't done anything but sit here, you know..!"

-I make the glass vanish and say to her, swallowing my pride.- "You were right."

Persephone blinked, surprised, standing up slowly.

".... what..?"

"We are alike. The Ministry's corruption, I've always known about it. Ever since Descole killed Helm, I've plotted to bring them down." -I lie as fluidly as water would follow through a river.-

(( Oh Crest, still thinking Descole was the one to kill Helm. Silly you ))

A pause, the woman blinked in surprise.
That was a new revelation... and yet..

"... so you've finally come to your senses....? What are you freeing me, then, for..?"

OOC he knows he didn't, he's just playing his new part.

"Because I plan on overthrowing the Ministry still, but I need an ally." -My face still reveals nothing, it was a regular conversational tone.-

(( u fooled me. ))

The woman's expression lit up ever so slightly.

"I'll need my things if I'm to help you, sweetie...."

"As you wish... mother." -At that I rush to the armory to collect her belongings.-

A smooth smirk, the woman stepped from the cell, feeling wonderfully... in charge...

"Thank you, boy... thank you very much.."

-I start to start grabbing her stuff before being stopped by Artisan.-

Artisan: "Crest... Steve... how could you?!"

Crest: "I don't expect an inferior mind like yours to understand, but things cannot continue as they are." -I scowl to him.-

Persephone smirked as she moved to stand next to Crest, her eyes narrowed at Artisan.

"... oh, if only you knew, you silly boy.."

Artisan: "It was YOU wasn't it?!" -I scowl at Persephone.-

Crest: -I snicker.- "Stupid brother. You never knew my true nature."

The woman gave a soft laugh, taking her thinks with a small thanks from Crest, her eyes still locked on Artisan.

"... Oh, not at all. I only played a small part in this... no, you must be aware that it was your brother this whole time..."

Artisan: "After all... everyone did for you... THIS is how you repay us?!" -I charge forward with my wand drawn.-

Crest: -I punch him in the gut almost lazily, causing him to kneel over.- "It's like I said before. Only my ambitions were what mattered. The Strayers. the Strayers... that's all everyone ever talked about. It made me sick..."

Persephone watched quietly, holding her own wand with a smooth air about her.
She had a smile curved over her lips, her eyes dark and uncaring.

"I should be on my way, then... I've got work to do, don't I...?"

"Goodbye, Gabe..."

-And I'm sorry.-

Having decided to test her ability and guard Persephone's cell for a while, Karen makes her way to its location, running through the process in her mind.

All I have to do is-

What... what's going on?

"What...?"

-I turn around and look at Karen, standing by Persephone's side.-

She draws her wand, watching Persephone warily. "What do you think you're doing, Persephone, Crest? Son, why is she out of her cell?"

"Son you say?"

"And what right do you have to call me that?" -I turn around keeping up my facade.-
