The group continue to chat comfortably, Solaire pulls Reima and Priscilla aside to speak privately. He glances over to Anastacia and sees she's gradually becoming less tense and more comfortable while answering questions from Quelana.

He walks over to Solaire and sits down across from him, "Is something wrong?"
Solaire has a funny look on his face as he replies, "That would be a yes, and a no... You see, I talked with young Rhea about that Petrus fellow and what I heard... Angered me. From what she said the man didn't intend to just kill her... For someone so vile to still live is an travesty and an insult to the morals of every just man and woman."
Reima nods, "That's not all Solaire, I know of Rhea's future had we saved her but left her to her own devices... Petrus has a lot to answer for."
Priscilla speaks up from beside Solaire, "Apologies but I fail to see why I am needed?"
Reima grins widely, "Remember your "Unique ability"? I think we've found a test subject."
Later when the trio find time to get away from everyone unnoticed Reima teleports them to Firelink shrine where he assumes Petrus is still waiting. They travel up the stairs and find the blonde haired Bowl-cut Cleric, he watches them approach and is wary of Priscilla, "Brought another freak with you? Begone, I do not wish to discourse with vile beings such as yourselves." he says and tries to walk past them to exit. Only to be stopped by Reima who hold out his arm to block his path. "You won't be going anywhere Petrus, we've heard of your crimes and intend to grant absolution... Only problem is that we aren't related to Velka at all, so... We'll have to do it our own way." he says and grabs Petrus neck and raising him off the ground. Solaire comes round and takes the man's mace, shield and charm. Reima drops him to the floor and stomps on the his leg creating a loud crack that echoes throughout the shrines ruins.
Petrus screams in pain as he feels his leg's shatter, "S-Stop! Please spare me! I do not know what you've heard but their all lies!"
Solaire frowns, "You say Rhea is lying? Pathetic." when he hears that Rhea is still alive and had apparently sent these thugs to deal with him he starts shouting in anger.
Petrus "So that vile little bitch sent you to kill me? Well guess what! I'm undead! I can't die! Damn her. I swear I'll hunt her down an-" his other leg is shattered by Reima who has a sadistic smile on his face that reminds Solaire of the time he butchered that armoured boar... "Oh don't worry, we found a way to negate your immortality... I only hope it's as painful as it sounds..." he says but starts thinking of other ways to torture this man, he retrieves the Transposing Kiln and ponders whether or not to test it out on the man before giving whatever remains to Priscilla... Eventually his curiosity gets the better of him and Reima decides to tor-Cough! Punish the man a little longer before attempting it.
Priscilla sits back with Solaire and watches Reima instrumentally take Petrus apart, piece by piece. "Brother, is something wrong with Reima?" she asks slightly unnerved by the dramatic change from her master to this...
Solaire "It depends on what you mean by wrong... He is extremely angry at the Cleric, as am I but I don't think myself capable of... That." She nods, "His suffering will end soon."
They see Reima finally snap the mans neck and take hold of his soul before jamming it into a stone bowl inscribed with many runes. Reima lets the Kiln absorbs some of his stored souls to allow for the transformation to take place, his theory on what he knows from Dark Souls 3 and the vague notes from Gwyn's study is that the origin soul will form into something that most represents the person it belonged to. The Kiln glows gold and takes a couple minutes as the runes glow, it only takes around 1000 souls for the transformation to take place but perhaps it's linked with the souls strength... Eventually the white wispy soul coalesces into some... Boots? His medallion shakes as he holds them and he tries to sense what enchantment they seem to have.
Solaire and Priscilla are brought out of their discussion on what Reima is doing when he starts laughing. "Hahahaha! It fits so well! hahaha!
Solaire "What's so funny my friend?" he asks concerned.
Reima shows him a pair of leather boots that don't look special at all. "These boots are enchanted to increase the rate you can run away, hahaha! They definitely suit that coward Petrus!... And while I would "Love" to keep hold of these, I believe it's time for Priscilla to do some testing of her own. he says while handing her the boots.
She takes them and lays them down on the floor before closing her eyes and concentrating, a black writhing miasma slowly starts being emitted by her hands and envelops the boots, causing them to slowly break down and disappear. The trio swear they can hear a male scream as the boots finally cease existing. Priscilla wipes a droplet of sweat off of her brow, "It's a lot harder completely destroying a soul than I'd thought..."... She turns her eyes to Reima, "When did thou become able to transfigure souls?"
Reima shrugs, "I'm still learning but this Transposing Kiln makes it rather easy, provided you have enough souls to act as a catalyst." She nods in understanding as the trio grips his shoulder and teleport back to the Chaos Covenant.
