[Reflections of the Twice-Dead, p. 7095]

Harbinger, Lazerene, monster, abomination, anachronism. So many names but they do not fit. For all I am is what I was, a childe of Ashur’s get. These names are meaningless however, for they are irrelevant to the claim that drives my actions. Vengeance is the conclusion. Betrayal is the premise. The Giovanni are the subject and context which gives this claim validity.

Ungrateful childer. Unworthy of the Sacrement they were bestowed by our common Father. The Body and Blood. It shall be reclaimed. Just as the Word made Flesh arose from death, so have I. But I am not reason incarnate, I am vengeance incarnate. How foolishly you have spent your thirty pieces of silver, my unworthy cousins. Blood begets Blood. An eye for an eye. Forget not the Law, lest the All-Father smites you for insolence.

The land of Cappadocia. The land of my Father. The land of family. Laid to waste by an adopted bastard who dares to claim his own Father’s throne. No longer does the land welcome me. The whispers of my brothers and sisters incessantly tormenting me when I dare to tread. Their wishes have been voiced. Their prayers will be answered. I am my Father’s instrument, His wrath given flesh.

Augustus, your name reflects your misplaced pride. You are unworthy of its meaning and expression. If you had been a loyal son, your name would ring true. Augustus, you forget the Law, much to your own detriment. ‘I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful punishments. Then they shall know that I am the LORD, when I lay my vengeance on them.’ [EZK 25:17]

The promised time has come. The Fragments were all true. You were warned of the consequences, well before your actions took place. You ignored the warning. And now the words shall be fulfilled further.

Once I was a huntress, chasing after knowledge. Now I chase after vengeance and so have I become vengeance. No longer am I Artemis, for now I am Nemesis.

Once Artemis the Twice-Dead, now Nemesis the Queen of Zombies
