â€œYou actâ€¦â€ she said under the heavy, massless weight upon her back, â€œAs if there anything left of me to harm; as if there is anything left of what was. Killing me gives you a rush; the thrill of a freshly slit throat. The bloodâ€¦ can only run for so long before it returnsâ€¦ to the earth. Itâ€™s sweetâ€¦succulent, briefly satisfying, but your curiosity will last far longer than that satisfaction, and youâ€™ll only end up wanting something that only I can provide that you would never be able to obtain.â€ She listens to the door close and laughs bitterly. It wasnâ€™t because she was unafraid; she was terrified. It was because in that moment she realized how many qualities she shared with her captor.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Iâ€™d rather be driven to my darker nature than give in to this warlock,</span>the thoughts easily found their way towards her intended target, as she knew Armada had been ever present and waiting to be addressed. His return was heartfelt; while Jade lay in silent reverie. She never was one to say hello or goodbye.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">You may hate yourself for what you have become. I see it in the depths of your black little heart. You never stop to think that how you started out would provide you no survivability in this dark world. You would be ash by this point and time. It is better that you suffered prior to what you will go through here. You will last longer and provide a better chance for our future.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Our future? You make it sound as though you plan on staying around a while. You know that my kind take a variety of partners. There is no difference between one or the other; just as I would expect the same from you just like Kellindril or Scorn. I do not plan on being with you for the rest of my lifeâ€¦although with the current situation all plans may not be carried out to fruition.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"> Ah, sia Kaldra. How wrong you are. I am amused your first instinct is of companionship. I have seen very few with your preferences, and you forget that the voices you hear in your head are real. It isnâ€™t some psychosomatic reaction to everything that youâ€™ve gone through any moreâ€¦</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Anymore?</span>her azure eyes drifted over towards the dark obsidian blade menacingly. She heard his rough chuckle travel gruffly over the earthen floor.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Did you think you were special? You werenâ€™t to begin with. Everything you experienced up until that night with thatâ€¦healer,</span>there was the slightest twinge of jealousy that only Zara would have been able to catch amongst the deep tone,<span style="font-weight: bold">was your own thoughts you had the capacity to force upon the world. That healer awakened to the dormant powers within you. Albeit I helped you along a bit. The fact of the matter is that you have already been undergoing a transformation; far longer than the outsiders have.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">You speak half-truths, dragon.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Quote the thiefâ€¦</span>he cut her off. There was a slight pause.<span style="font-weight: bold">Either way, sia Kaldra, there is not enough time for you to make the leaps and bounds that you need to with Jade and myself in order to escape this earthly prison. Itâ€™s up to you to keep Lezarr at bay long enough for you to gain some chance at survival. Right now chances are looking pretty grim, Zara Kerrigan.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Oh? I thought my lungs slowly being compressed into oblivion at the wave of his hand was a good sign of survival rates in the area.</span>She almost rolled her eyes.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">It is not time for your lovely sense of humor</span>, he replied unamused.<span style="font-weight: bold">Rest nowâ€¦we are going to go somewhere for a while; until the time comes when your mortal form is crushed beneath the weight of this sorcererâ€™s magic, or you are strong enough to escape. These are the only two possible outcomes.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Where are you taking me this time?</span>he scared her, and he knew that he did. He took a secret pleasure in the fact that his master feared him.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">To the field of nightshade, once more, Kaldra.</span><br/><br/>It was then her body and blades fell dormant into slumber as the sands of the hourglass began to sift away; ticking slowly away towards the end of her life.
