I know that you don't want to be cured. I know that you have tried to infect people in the past, luring them into your trap, like a Venus Fly Trap. The only problem is, you never seem to close at the right time, and the flies always get away. And what use is a Venus Fly Trap that won't close? It gets deprived of the sustenance that it needs to live. You might as well uproot the fly trap, put it out of it's misery. I'm going to UPROOT you at Warfare, Maria. I will cure you, and take away the sustenance that you need to live.

Of course, there is another, less painful and violent way to be cured. Surrender to Him. I won't have to damn near kill you at Warfare, and you will gain an entirely new life. You can do anything, and be anyone. Your band will be #1 for 8 months straight, your fanbase will skyrocket, and you enjoy a place in the rock and roll hall of fame, along with all the others who did the same. Or, you can face hell head on, and get Sacrificed. You will be cured, or damned eternally. Now, which one sounds more pleasant?

Lucius is sitting on a park bench, playing with his lighter. He gets a phone call from Ghost Tank.

"Brother Lucius, I heard you have a match against Maria."

Yeah. I am ready for my first win. Sorry about not giving you a fight at Shove-It.

"The Prophet told me to give you everything. Hopefully it has inspired you to be better in your next match."

Probably doesn't help that you are like, 10 times stronger than the whole roster combined.

"I am pretty strong, yes, some are stronger than me or on par. However, when it comes to Maria, you have to do the same. Like most women of XWF, she is here for a reason. Give Maria her own 'Trial by Fyre'. Make sure she knows that facing you is the same as facing anyone else in The Asylum. It's not a wise choice."

I won't hold anything back. I am tired of being destroyed in seconds. I want you to have Hysteria pray for me, he is closer to Him than any of us. I will Sacrifice the harlot, and bring her blood back to Hysteria. Maybe then, The Higher Power will be pleased.

"You don't have to do that. Just beat her down and make her see the Light that of the Higher Power. Study your opponent, Brother Lucius. If you do not study whom you face, you will lose. I didn't take the proper time out to study Mastermind and Horseman, and everyone saw what happened then. I ended up losing both times. So, take heed. Learn well, fight well. I'll see you soon, Brother Lucius."

I will choke her out, thanks. Well, good luck with everything. Sacrifice is my finisher by the way. It's not like I'm going to have a satanic ritual in the middle of the ring. That's how you start Armageddon.

"Sorry, my mistake. Win for The Asylum, Crossroads."

I will, "Cleanser".

Lucius hangs up, and starts walking in the general direction of the arena.

Hope Maria knows how to heal a burn.
