Against us all

We walk down a small hallway when I ask, “Um, well, this is awkward, but how are you taking it?” He stops and puts his head down. “Look, if it weren’t for the fact that you’re the only person that could beat the Destroyer, I would have let your powers awakened back there.” He then grabbed my shirt and pulled it up to revile my skin, turning to web-like fibers, pulsating energy.

He lets it go and looks at me. “We both know what happens when you let loose.” I just trembled at the realization that this is more than me. I have been fighting to get revenge on the Destroyer. Yet, for someone who wasn’t there to be getting drug into this. It is just baffling. I choke up a bit. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know that he got to you.” He sniffles. “Yeah, but let me just show you something.” He walks me down to a small room where he showed me. There is a statue of his five-year-old daughter made from dark crystal.
