It has been done! What was this foolish hold over my emotions, my heart? It has been destroyed; the darkness clouding my mind has cleared and I am now free to think as I have been.

However, my physical appearance has changed, as has Caim's. I cannot see him, but our bond speaks to me that he his soul is still shrouded in shadows. They will clear in ( Read more... )

THAT FOOL. I CAN HEAR HIS VOICE NOW. THAT FOOLISH VERDELET!

'As the dragon becomes more powerful, does it not seem that evil grows with it?'

INSIGNIFICANT HUMAN SPAWN! These days are your last! Though clear this cage may be, I will manage to break out and destroy the disgusting, tainted waste!

JUDGMENT IS AT HAND, JACKALS! ALL WILL BE CLEANSED THROUGH ( Read more... )

WATCH THEM, WATCH THEM BURN! The peon jackals, you cannot defeat that which is stronger!

The Empire.

I grow tired of these monsters chasing that which cannot fit in a regular home! Come Caim, to the air! There is nothing stopping us from escaping in the air unless these beasts also take flight. If it must be done, fire will rain from the sky!

{Fear ( Read more... )

Just like the battles. Blood everywhere, body parts...

The eyes. Where are the eyes? The glowing red eyes. And the Watchers.

Put your sword down, fool, there is no battle here, only a slithering snake in the grass. It lacks the power to fly so it slithers on its belly and attacks those below it. Pitiful creature, you will meet your end one way or ( Read more... )

He knows a secret of yours now, Caim. Once a human has had a taste of the sins of another, he or she will come back for more and more. You had best protect yourself or he will destroy you.

Attending the gala was not an intelligent decision. For now I will avoid the masses.

Fearful fool. In any case, it is time that I return to my rounds in the sky. ( Read more... )

This happiness makes me wary. It will all come to an end. It...is not comfortable to be in.

Refusing it, I see! One should take advantage of happiness as it comes. Caim, you were a prince and now you are a lord; don't you think that attending this gala is suitable for a lord? Or do you foolishly fear the smiles on everyone's faces are a plan to kill ( Read more... )

There is happiness here. Warmth in the voices of people on the street. But the snow is so cold. Is it possible?

I'm returning to the skies. I still want far away from this place! Do what you wish, Caim.

The north and its snow. The monsters. The Empire. They have no hold on this place. This sensation...is it...

...Freedom?

My spirit is calm but my body ( Read more... )

Snow. It's white. Easily tainted. It can turn any color...

...Look, the snow is turning red. It's bleeding through. Everything is red.

Hmph. Stop being so morbid, fool.

The monsters are gone meaning the fight is over. Now is a time for resting. Would anyone mind taking in this fool of a human? Strong as he is, the complete darkness is enough to taint any being's mind. As long as I have my fire, I will not fall.

...I have a place to stay.

Hmph. Someone take this fool off of the streets before I do it myself.

Here it is, the day that darkness reigns! We will be the last to fall!

To hell with these beasts! Know the heat that is a dragon's flaming breath, foul creatures!

They fall but rise again. What black magic is this? The only light I have to fight by is the flame of the dragon.

And a bright light it is, Caim! We shall show these vermin! No matter how ( Read more... )
