Welcome to Gaia! ::

<<< For the record: I'm rather interested to see where this whole Alyraena thing goes... I have my suspicions, but I'm not certain what will come of this... >>>

"Story, huh... Hey, is that a polite way of asking me if I'm going to die or something?" Alyraena shot him a cutting look with her piercing eyes. "Hm... I see... Well..."

Exor sat up in the bed as he attempted to buy himself a moment to think, but Alyraena afforded him no such luxury, pinning him back down to the bed with one swift move. She held no smile. "Tell me what you are hiding..."

He opened his mouth to protest and recieved a shake for his attempt. The Sinner's expression hardened. "Alyraena... I'm not entirely sure that you want to know this... I'm not exactly the man you lost back at Rift..."

<<< Also, Tes isn't just being understanding; he wants to get into that slip twisted >>>

Exor's eyes narrowed. Not one to take being accused of cowardice well, he failed to censor the edge in his voice, "Oh, is that so, Alyraena... Did you stalk that endless void in search of escape or rescue?"

"Yes."

"Did you hunt that which was to become your food, only to find the competition of who-eats-whom uncertain every encounter?"

"Yes."

"Did you single-handedly dispatch hordes of dark foes that lusted for little more than your destruction?"

"Yes."

Irritated with her glib responses, he told the dark elf what she wanted to hear. "Did you encounter a beast so terrible that even in its apparent death it lusted for your soul? Did such a thing take your body and rend your soul from your very heart? Were you forced to look on in terror as your form took on a demonic taint and moved under its own volition? Were you trapped within yourself as like a prison, watching as this thing tore its way into your world and began a massacre of no restraint upon your people? Did you face it on the plateu of your heart time and time again, only to fail and fail to conquer the darkness that had taken your life? Tell me, Alyraena," he hissed, grabbing her arms so that she could not wrench free and get away, "have you lived the Nightmare that haunts me to this very day?"

His expression softened somewhat and the Sinner released the elf. "Although I have taken victory from that monster and reclaimed my body, its evil, the very spirits of the sins I committed, or it committed in my place, now roam this world, leaving only discord and darkness in their wake... Tell me: are you now satisfied...?"

((As much as I'd love to do that to Exor just to gwet on his nerves, it doesn't fit with the plan I have for Alyraena gonk twisted ))

*looks at him as if he's lost his mind*
"No, that's impossible!"
*breaks away from him and falls into the floor and looks up in terror*
"You couldn't have! No, there's no way! You... You're a monster...?"
*looks up at him in silence for a moment*
"But, you look and act so much like him... But..."

(( xd I like the way youthink Tes 3nodding ))

*fear turns into uncertainty*
"Exor, I..."
*trails off and then gets up and jumps into his arms again*
"I had no idea! Please forgive me! I... I don't know that I know what to think right now! Please, just..."
*begins to sob into his shoulder*

"Invaluable...? To what...?"
*looks at him with confusion*
"You need someone that knows how to kill you...? Exor... what are you talking about...?"

(( rolleyes OK I see why you use your dots all the time now Exor. And it doesn't look like you min dthat she is always in youre arms honey 3nodding ))

"Iggies...? But she..."
*sees the determination in his eyes and sighs*
"I... I will help you, Exor Omega... You are a fool to do this, though..."
