Failure to Lock (due to emo/angst/etc. >P)

[bluebeetlerider]

((Late post is late. :P Backdated to just after the Canaletto/Stalker bird post.))

Is it possible that I am still as indecisive as I was two years ago? Perhaps I am weak, seeing as I was unconscious for most of the final battle.

Maybe I am powerless.... Dol Arrah, what if I am unable to keep my word? The shame would be too great....

Aikka, it's not your fault, what happened back then. We had no idea what we were up against.

Don't believe a word he says. Canaletto will say anything to instill doubt in your heart.

[bluebeetlerider]

You are right.... I suppose I let him hit too many of my weak points. That decrepit bird... curses on his wicked soul.

[glowy_brows]

You're not the only one. He triggered Eva and a few other people, too. He's had twenty thousand years to perfect his techniques.

Don't worry. As soon as things settle down around here, I plan on trying to pinpoint his location and facing him head on. I'm tired of running and hiding. It's time I stood up to him and destroy that evil creature once and for all.

[bluebeetlerider]

Twenty thousand years? Dol Arrah... is he staying alive simply out of spite?

Understood. I would be more than willing to join you in the fight, you have my word.

[glowy_brows]

Most likely. After all, he was alive for ten thousand years during his own reign, and then for another ten thousand during Satis's reign.

I ... appreciate the sentiment, Aikka, but this is my battle, and mine alone. I won't allow anyone else to suffer at his hands.

((Stupid, stubborn Jordan. DX))

Dol Arrah....

Jordan, Avatar or not, do not try to take on more than you can handle. Eva and I both know of Canaletto's evil and are capable of fighting him. Consider it my promise that I will not allow you to battle him alone.

No! Aikka, you don't understand. I can't allow you two to be hurt on my account. I mean, no offense, but what can you do against the might of a god? A god that is slowly gaining more power with each passing day?

I'm sorry, but it'd be suicide to have you fight by my side. Besides, you'd only hold me back.

What?

I'd be more concerned about protecting you and Eva than fighting Canaletto. And I know he'd take advantage of that. That's why I have to do this alone, don't you see? He'll use you, and anyone else I've come to care about, against me.
