Aveyar laughed. This man reminded him of himself, oddly enough. He didn't understand why he wanted to protect this woman. Why should he? After all, he could just take a stroll into Norampax, and find any number of women Faeleens. He wouldn't be able to change anything if he was dead, or forced into hiding.
Then he felt an Echo. It was powerful, pulsing through his entire body, forcing him to his knees.
Quote from: ???You will not let her be taken.
The voice felt like an Echo, pulsing through his entire body. He couldn't think rationally. All he knew was that he could not allow this man to take her.
He folded his arms.
Quote from: AveyarI don't care what your opinion of me is. The woman stays with me. I can kill soldiers if I have to, she will not be enslaved.
NO YOU FOOL!Aveyar shuddered trying to fight the pulsing Echos.
Quote from: AveyarNo...this is...her lot in life!
He stood up, trying to ignore the protests and insults shooting through his body in the form of Echos. Whoever was inside his head obviously had a deep sense of idealism.
Quote from: AveyarJust...promise me...
Then he lost control. A powerful Echo shot through him, overwhelming all of his senses. His eyes turned silver, and he felt himself walk towards the man.
Quote from: ??? through AveyarNo. I'm better than the rest of my kind.
Aveyar spread his wings, a small amount of Magic entered his body, and he began to use Focus to pulse with silver light.
Quote from: ??? through AveyarI am not willing to sacrifice the others of my kind.
Aveyar shouted, the Echos pulsing through him imensly. He felt anger emanating from the presence that had taken over his body.
Quote from: ??? through AveyarI've killed deities, nobles, kings, emperors, and even my own best friend's child. All of this I have done to stop oppression!
Aveyar struggled to regain his body. Whoever's mind was also inside his body was insane. He'd served men like that, who thought justice was worth any price. He would NOT be like that man.
Quote from: ??? through AveyarI will not watch as this Faeleen who's body I inhabit tosses this woman's life away simply because it endangers him
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!Aveyar pushed the Echoes away, his eyes returning to their normal red color.
Quote from: AveyarSorry about that. A necromancer I killed must have come back to haunt me.
What Koji said made sense. If he was a noble, he could ensure that the Faeleen woman would not be beaten. But how do I know I can trust him?
Quote from: AveyarBut how do I know I can trust you? What guarantee do I have that she'll be treated well?
True, this man wasn't human, but that didn't mean he should trust him. He...didn't quite understand the feelings he had for this Faeleen woman. He didn't even know her, why did he feel the desire to protect her, and sacrifice himself for her?
But the desire was there all the same.
