Aluren's mind was full of traffic, his own thoughts drowned out as the constant screams had returned to him. As Isalisk stepped toward the tree, he'd remain distant, attempting to keep his balance and his sanity in check as -something- invaded his thoughts. The cries of the women were even muffled for but a moment, bringing him relief only to hear a voice whisper in his ear, seductive yet soothing did the smooth words reach. (Kill her). It was simple, yet the words carried so much weight, it promised him freedom of the cries he had been tormented with for years. He couldn't figure out the source, or even feel any emotion toward the voice that preyed upon him, all he could think of at that moment was the order. "Kill her." He softly spoke, his eyes slowly opening, revealing his violet hues as they locked on the dragon maiden with a hateful gaze.<br/><br/>He almost seemed at peace with this decision as he took a step closer to her, only to pause blinking repeatedly as he nearly buckled over with a soft gasp. "I-.. I cant!" He cried out only to feel his body once more pulling against him, his mind and heart tearing as he battled the alien voice within him.  He desired to be with her, to claim her as his own, such was the strongest emotion he held besides the blood rage forming inside him. Her smile and soft words battled against the wickedness in his mind, if he ended it now, he would no longer see her beauty, no longer have her by his side.<br/><br/>The next thing he realized, he was in her face, the knight moving at an abnormal speed, the speed of his demon that brought him close to her, fingers lightly wrapping around her throat within the blink of an eye. Staring deeply into her silver hues, he seemed to be unable to relinquish his hold on her, or even hear a word she was saying as his heart continued to fight against that seductive evil inside his head, desiring her demise. "Be with me." He softly muttered, regardless of her words, and with his free hand, he pulled the bindings free in her tunic, and continued to work from there as he kept her pinned against the tree.
