Both a gift and a curse

Orion's hand clenched around Akazar's hair, hoisting the bloodied visage aloft for everyone to watch, a grim testament to his unforgiving nature. With calculated precision, he turned his gaze upon the once-enthralled crowd, now rendered mute and motionless by the brutal tableau before them. His icy stare swept over them, a chilling reminder of the carnage he had wrought mere moments prior.

All were unsettled by his chilling gaze. Yet, amidst the sea of terror-stricken faces, one remained frozen in his own dread, the possessor of the elusive magic vestige, the very preparator of this death match - the dark agent, Liaison Vidor.

Regret clawed at Liaison's mind, the weight of his choices bearing down upon him as he beheld Orion's brutal display. From the moment he bore witness to Orion's prowess in battle, he had desperately sought a means to alter the course of his fate, to once more win favor in the eyes of this formidable warrior.
