4th Seal Unlocked

[shadow_possession]

[when the video starts, it catches Dainn outside, hiding in the shade. he's staring at his arms. to a normal person they look fine, although one might wonder why he's chosen to wear long-sleeves and a cloak in this weather.

to Dainn, however, the sleeves are torn and the skin underneath is burnt black and peeling. his whole body is burning and he can feel it - not the agony he expected it to be but a sizzle, like a reminder.

Dainn isn't aware that the video is on and it catches him speaking. unlike when he's spoken before, he sounds strange. almost like he's scared...]

I don't understand. I'm in the shadows...I should be...I shouldn't be burning like--

[the Immortal looks up sharply and stares into the distance. no...that can't be...]

Durathror...? You...?

[he himself was trying not to stare at something else he could see besides his sisters. the one place he hated, the one place he was scared of going back to.]

It is a game I do not want to play. [the shadow was used to being the one in control. not having it was like being sealed away again.] But it seems we're stuck.

[1mistress_nomaster]

It shouldn't be a game at all, forcing us to endure these kinds of things. I save nightmares as punishments for a reason.

[She wished she could comfort him some way, though she did not think it was a good idea at the moment.] Nothing to it but being brave and ruining her fun.

[shadow_possession]

[no it wasn't. comfort from a human being when he was stressed would probably cause him to snap.]

If fear is the goal of her game, then it would ruin it to not be afraid. I normally do not like spite but since she's using my family against me, it's only fair. [his sisters and the place he feared. those two crossed the line and when Dainn was crossed, it got ugly fast.]

[1mistress_nomaster]

Such is my thinking as it stands. Spite is an awful motivator. I do not think of it like though, I like to think of it merely as being strong for it's own sake.

[shadow_possession]

It's a kind of motivation that works. But being strong is another can of worms I do not feel like opening today.

[and then he laughs a little.]

You do not have to wait outside with me. I'll make it inside on my own.

[1mistress_nomaster]

[She gave him another look over, just to make sure he was alright.]

If you're completely sure?
