Life is a gift. As sweet as a ripe peach. As precious as a gilded jewel. I have never been able to understand the logic of wilfully surrendering such a treasure. And what is there to gain? How dark can your existence be, when compared to an eternal void? Unless, of course, you have faith that there is something beyond. What do you see from where you stand? A bright light at the end of the tunnel? Is it a ray of hope? A glimmer of something better? Or will it burn you like the rising sun? Is that sound you're hearing the trumpeting of St. Peter's angels? Or the screams of Memnoch's tortured souls? You can't answer that, can you? Because you will never know the answer, until the deed is done. And is your faith really that strong? I understand the need to move on. It is something that happens to us all. And your time has truly come. I also understand that with the beauty of this life there comes pain and despair. No one is immune. But consider what is in your hands, before you give it up. Don't trade a treasure for an empty box.
“Last Knight” · Season 3, Episode 22
In this episode: Lucien LaCroix (8), Det. Nick Knight (7)
LaCroix, is it possible for a vampire to have faith?
That's a strange question at this moment in time.
Have you ever had faith...in anything but yourself?
...I've seen too much.
Well then maybe I haven't seen enough.
After nearly eight hundred years? Nicholas, be done with her. Time heals all. We must move on. You cannot deny what you are!
...I cannot condemn her to this darkness.
A wise decision. We even have time for a burial, if you'd like.
...She had faith in me, in what's beyond...that we could have a life together...that this would be a beginning, not an end...I have that faith, too.
And so, in your eyes, I am the Devil.
No, not the Devil, LaCroix.
What, then?
You are my closest friend.
...Damn you, Nicholas!
