Atlas and Agate are seen sneaking out of their homes as the Boy watches them from afar. He seems to have, from their reactions to him, deduced that they were planning to meet together as they constantly whispered to each other, but his keen ears picked up what they were saying.
Through their secret exchange, he stayed up after they parted ways and lingered outside the home of Atlas as he was the easiest to follow with his dull nature. He met up with Agate outside the village on a small cliff with a tree on it.
To not be found, the Boy stayed far away from where the 2 were and caught bits of their conversation.
"...He...creepy...shouldn't...with Kiryas..."
They seemed to have been talking about him and him currently living with Kiryas. The Boy's eyes turned cold, as cold as can be from eyes which were no different from those of the dead and walked up to the 2.
Hearing his footsteps, the 2 jolted at his appearance and started sweating. The Boy slowly walked up to them with both hands outstretched and channeled his aspect. A small mist came into existence from his hands and started to reach towards the 2.
Startled, they back up. But due to the cliff they freeze in terror as the mist crawls slowly towards them. Atlas, as if having gathered up his courage, charges through the mist towards the Boy but he lets out a yelp as he falls to the ground coughing up blood.
Agate lets out a scream as she watches this happen and as he lets out the scream, the mist reaches her and she starts to cough up blood as well.
The whole time, the Boy watches them coldly as they both die. His thinking was such that if anyone threatened his life or livelihood, he would dispatch of them as soon as possible in order for nothing to happen.
The corpses of Atlas and Agate have their faces stricken with fear and tears. The Boy starts digging a hole and unceremoniously dumps their bodies into the hole before filling it back up again.
The Boy goes back to Kiryas's home and falls into the lull of sleep.
The next morning, the villagers notice the missing presence of Atlas and Agate due to the village being relatively small with everyone at least knowing each other's faces. They send out a few people to search for them, but nothing comes of it.
In the evening, a man with a noble and imposing presence comes to the village and the chief, having been holed up in the building with the other infected, finally comes out to greet the man with visible struggle as his body is no longer as muscular or strong as before.
"Ah, the priests of the gods have answered my call. Welcome great sir, to this village. Although it may be small and not significant enough to be of much importance, thank you for coming."
The man, dressed in white garments, looks at the man but says nothing as he slowly pulls a sword out of its scabbard.
"S-sir? Might i ask wha-"
Before he finishes talking, he is cut down by the man in white and he then looks at the villagers who all start screaming and running.
"You have all been affected by something of which we don't know the cause or effects of. Therefore, so that this infection doesn't spread further out, I shall cull you all in order to maintain the peace and prosperity of the kingdom."
