[It would be a lie for Diarmuid to say that he is not terrified by the shift of Gilgamesh's intent to something that can only be sated by wide-scaled destruction. However, he has committed to his path. He can't change it now. Besides, for better or worse he doesn't want to change it. Back when they met under the tree after Diarmuid slayed the White Hart, he promised he would fight to protect the golden king's sanity. He will pull him back from the edge. Diarmuid will not let his king go where he cannot follow.]

Instead, all he can do is stare in shock when the hideous black bite mark is revealed. What could cause such a thing? It is so out of place on the golden king. Ugly. Disturbing. Diarmuid wants it gone...
Immediately, Gae Dearg vanishes and Diarmuid reaches out with his hand toward Gilgamesh.]
Who...who did this to you? [And then a memory flashes through is mind. Dark. Deadly. Creeping. Death...]
