SpoilerWe're halfway through the verse! Seems like necromancy is the order of business this time, huh?
9/16.
in which it was prophesied.
Your mother fumed when the Priestess said her sons were 'marked'.
"Yᴏᴜ'ᴅ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴇᴠᴇɴᴛᴜᴀʟʟʏ. Fᴏʟʟᴏᴡ."
What awaits at the heart of the valley?

Your locket. You can't raise them without it. You left it with Her. You didn't think you'd have to see Her again.

10/16.
in which the Devil awaits.
At the heart of the battlefield, Its disguise unravels.
The Devil hands you a crystal vial.
What is this for? How do you know?

SpoilerThe climax of this verse approaches... we're swapping POV characters again (there will be four), so whatever you do, cliffhanger etc etc. Onward!
11/16.
in which you're given orders.
You remember the myths. "It's for souls."
"Yᴏᴜʀ ʙʀᴏᴛʜᴇʀ's ᴘʀᴏᴠᴇɴ ʀᴇʙᴇʟʟɪᴏᴜs. Tᴀᴋᴇ ʜɪs ᴘʟᴀᴄᴇ, ᴀɴᴅ ꜰᴇᴇᴅ."
How do you feel about this opportunity?

12/16.
in which you are resigned.
"Madness," you exclaim, because it's expected, even though your heart's resigned. "I won't—"
"Yᴏᴜ ᴡɪʟʟ. Gʟᴀᴅʟʏ."
When did you start to resent him?

13/16.
in which your brother ran, too.
He didn't really care for medicine, but it excused him from the fighting.
"Lᴇᴛ ᴜs ᴘʀᴇᴘᴀʀᴇ."
Why does this excite you?

14/16.
in which your Mother preferred him.
"Mother favored him," you murmur, like you're justified.
It reaches through you--
You can do anything.
The valley is yours -- what are your plans?

SpoilerClimax incoming! Last round of suggestions for this verse; we'll see Esgil again later
15/16.
in which they're yours to command, again.
You exist beyond yourself.
Obedient in resurrection, your troops assemble at your command, faces smeared away.
For what does the Devil need mortal assistance?
