Cerberus had been in the entry chamber, but the entrance between the two massive caves was huge, and it could see what was going on, though it knew that it couldn't interfere. It had watched with great interest.
Being a giant demon dog, it didn't have a lot of emotions to show, but its body seemed to be less tense now, it knew that its former master was finally coming back, and if a giant elephant sized demon hound could look happy, it would have. As it was, it gently pushed its middle head against John in what could almost be called a nuzzle.

Sherlock made sure that John was not looking. When h e could see that John was with Cerberus, he went to Moriarty and stood over him, putting his foot on the man's chest. He was weak enough that he couldn't get up.
He created a scythe with a wooden handle, a tool he knew had been associated with Death for eons.
He stood over Moriarty, scythe raised high. And he repeated the last words that Thanatos had ever said to him. "Good bye, Thanatos. I'm Lord of the Dead now."
One fell swoop, and his head was released from his body.
Immediately, he could feel he power surging back inside of him, all the powers of the Lord of the Dead.
"Cerberus. Fetch." He picked up the head by the hair and threw it high in the air. Cerberus, showing an extreme amount of dexterity for such a large dog, bounded past John and caught the head in its middle maw, gulping it down in one bite. Immediatly it went to the body and between the three heads made short work of it. There were only large spots of blood and little bits of flesh and cloth when they were done.
He looked over to John. "Sorry it was so gruesome, but it is done." He was glad that Moriarty was gone, but killing another god, even one as terrible as Thanatos, left a scar on his soul.
