Artist commentary for Faustian:

Thomas Ferkol: (Bandcamp about blurb)

"I'm here to retrieve you. But really, I want to give you a choice: submit or show me what it means to be the blessed daughter!"

As they exit the forest, Faust intercepts them and demands Annette return with her. She calls out Annette, asking her to prove herself, but Erik and Corvus step forward. When Annette objects, he reasons that Faust has caused him the most trouble and wants to take the first shot. The fight begins as a duel between the two with the occasional involvement of Corvus. When Faust takes a strong blow to the face from Erik, however, she unleashes massive torrents of fire, pushing the fight in her favor. Erik and Corvus hold out for a time, but fight a losing battle. Annette finds an opening in Faust's onslaught and attempts to do to Faust what Mortis had done to Erik before. She succeeds, temporarily cutting Faust's connection to the life-force given to her from Mortis. Erik pins the stunned Faust to a tree, running her through with a rapier. But Faust still lives, watching Annette with hollow eyes.
