Preying on the Weak (I)

----

"What? Why do you sound so surprised?" Apollo questioned while keeping his finger in contact with Erebane's forehead. Although his desire to experiment on his curiosities was overwhelming, Apollo very much wanted to understand the astonishment behind Azridan's words.

[Because...I never expected the link between worlds to be so prominent. I thought the contracted beings would be other lower existences at best. Who knew… Just what secrets do humans possess for a higher race such as Spirits to contract with them?]

Even as the warden of Apollo's system, Azrdian wasn't privy to many of the events linked to Astarat's history. Since his strength wasn't at the apex anymore, nor did his corporeal body exist, Azridan's use was limited outside of supplying Apollo with guidance.
