At the mention of her pendant, he did as he was told and broke it and images flew into his mind. These images were an earlier memory of Emilia and she looked happy. There was talk of a performance with her friends and then the images cut briefly to her making what looked to be a contract with someone. She had drank a potion and suddenly became the talk of the town and was regarded as an excellent singer. But then, the day of her big concert came and a gruesome image appeared and he heard a whimper before the images ended and he came back to his own reality.<br/><br/>Emilia had collapsed unconscious against his chest. He hugged her tightly, whispering, some part of him wishing that she might hear him,<strong>"I understand, don't worry, I'll be here for you if no one else is. I, too, did some things I'm not proud of."</strong>At least there was someone else like him that could understand his pain, just as he can understand hers. They both sought greatness and in the end paid a great price. Then a determined look appeared in the young man's eyes as he picked up the sword and placed it in a sheathe that originally belonged to his magic sword that he left back at his home, this sword was powerful, maybe he could use it to gain an advantage over his inner monster.<br/><br/>Lyuk looked at his injured hand and cauterized it to aid it temporarily, although his nerves were still screaming for relief. That hand won't be grabbing breasts without pain anytime soon. He looked down at a sleeping Emilia resting against his chest and smiled,<strong>"You're coming with me whether you like it or not, Emilia."</strong>Lyuk lifted her up into his arms and walked towards the end destination, the final boss. He didn't use too much magic so he should be fine, but what about the others? Surely they faced a more physical challenge.
