All Night.
Author note: Wassup? Now this is my first ever fic, so tell me if it sucks. However, I want constructive criticism please!
As I lie, head in my hands, I wonder if what I'm doing is right. Yes. YES. I have to do it. Giacomo deserves it. I MUST get more powerful, it's the only way. Still, it feels weird lying to everyone. I guess it shouldn't feel guilty, I've been lying to everyone from the start, I really shouldn't consider them friends at all. I wonder if they suspect me, I think Lyude does, and there was that terrifying moment on the ship where it seemed like Gibari thought I was the spy. Although, the hard thing isn't lying to Gibari or Lyude or Savyna, Mizuti or even Xhela, it's lying to her. My guardian. My best friend. I love her, she loves me.
I was so lucky when I found her, in the forest in Mira. My life was torn apart after gramps and Fee had been murdered. I didn't really have any friends left, anyone who did talk to me, treated my like an oddity, they didn't treat me like me. I didn't need pity, I needed friends. When she came to me, I didn't find a spirit, a way to make me more powerful, I found a friend. What am I doing now? Lying to her, she'd never lie to me…I had to lie though, she wouldn't let me go through with it otherwise.
I wonder if it hurts, absorbing the power of the God of evil, Malpercio. Probably it will. Will it drive me insane? Will I kill my friends? Will I kill Melodia? My head is buzzing with worries. We're heading to Azha tomorrow, the time is coming near. At least we'll be able to finish off that utter fool Geldoblame.
I sigh and get to my feet, walking away from when we set up camp. I stand, glancing over the plains of Alfard.l Suddenly, I hear a voice deep inside my head.
Kalas.
I close my eyes, and sigh.
Hello Lessa.
Kalas, what are you doing up? she snaps in an accusatory tone.
Nothing Less, nothing, I'm just going for a stroll, that's all. I think hurridly, trying to placate her
So, Kalas, your going through with it then?
What? Going through with what?
The transformation, your going through with absorbing the power of Malpercio.
How…How can you know?
I never forgot, Melodia doesn't know much about us spirits, you can't just stop us knowing everything our partner knows.
Are you going to tell the others then?
I haven't told them so far have I?
I suppose…
Look, Kalas. I may not approve, but, I love you. I can't betray you, you're my soulmate.
Less…once I'm transformed, I may push you away. If I do, I'm sorry in advance. I love you too Less, this is just something that I have to do.
I understand, can we just stay awake and talk, we may not ever be able to do it again.
Yes, of course my love, all night long.
