Morguerat
The intruder was gone, the chaotic swirls of fog that were the warriors thoughts calmed once more, there was nothing to fight so early in the day, or was it late... he tried to focus on a thought, any thought, and chose the time of day as a place to start, thinking about the time did not cause him pain, although if he tried to recall the light ball above him out from the underneath the torment began again, but he was starting to recognize the warning signs of dangerous thoughts now, and could avoid them. Thoughts of pain were safe, as were thoughts of malice, warmongering and spite. but Nobility, Justice, Temperence, Humility, these thoughts caused a searing pain in his soul, a sense of loss that went beyond the physical pain thinking of his name, or previous life caused, that was a physical torment that made him collapse like a landed fish and cry like a babe.
The searing caused a deep hurt, a sense of loss he couldn't explain without delving into the realm of the other pain, but as he began to focus his thoughts he found he rather enjoyed the power over others the darker thoughts promised, he would conceal his motives from the mindspeaker, but deep in his heart a change that had been set in motion by one long dead to these lands, a Pet of the Modding Mage, Banished by Choc, and that change was taking hold and making him one with the darkness that empowered the arrow that took the purity from his soul.
Zachary saw the man continue to look around in a confused manner for several minutes before he finally settled into a grim smile.
Deep in the swirling chaos a lurker smiled at her work, and her cackling laughter at this most amusing puppet was dispersed into the ether before it could penetrate the haze overshadowing him.
