Heat seeker, beast point of view
"Mordret I am not using basically just a wheelchair."
He waves his hand
"listen, it makes sense. Apparently, without mentioning it to any-"
"i told death about it"
"-one your body has cracked in numerous places, it seems to be permanent, so its best to save your strength for the final battle. We are to fight the dreamspawn and a sovereign level plague."
He jabs his finger at my head
"don't be stubborn. Do remember we are to fight someone who can manipulate the mind, being in constant pain seems like something he would take full advantage of."
I look down at the wheelchair, its clearly enchanted, how did he even make this in such a short time?
"I'm fine. Why do you even care if I'm in some pain? Aren't we only working together because of him"
his face goes blank for a while, its almost eerie how he just stares at me
"your lashing out. Take a minute to calm down."
I groan out of annoyance
"i am a fully grown adult Mordret, i dont need to be babied. Even more so by you."
I rub my head, the cracks on it hurt.
"Thats all you've been doing since I got here. Treating me as if I'm not a sovereign. Damaged or not, I am still a supreme"
he sighs
"■■■■ just sit down. Your cracks could get worse if you put pressure on them. We need to save our strength if we want to win. Your the only one able to hold back unrelenting storm we need you at full power."
With the sound of glass breaking his disappears. I know hes still watching, just unwilling to continue. Gods damn it, of course he would just avoid this. I scoff and I start walking away, no point in staying.
Soon I encounter cassie. Shes creating runes along the outside on the walls of the tower.
"Cassie, your up! I heard you had a confrontation with the controlled nightwalker"
she nods
"that memory you leaded us helped a lot."
It takes me a second to realize she's talking about, the divine memory i had lent them, it had stayed in the ivory tower as a simple vase for a while.
"so... what did it do?"
She actually turns her head fully to me, she seems confused that I don't know
"it actived, but not on nightwalker. I think it hit the nightmarespawn instead. That let me get away with rain."
She goes back to creating the runic magic.
"I heard you had a confrontation with unrelenting storm. How did you survive it?"
I sit down next to her, no point in staying up.
"Its a little complicated, but the long and the short of it is that noctis helped me, fighting war one on one for a while. Until entropy appeared helping out. In the end noctis was broken, and i escaped."
I run a hand over one of the new cracks, my hand reals back.
"Not without heavy punishment, of course."
I shake my head
"either way i am alive and well so it doesn't matter too much."
She nods slowly with a slight hum of acknowledgement
"you should go help prepare"
oh I guess. I stand up slowly
"well I'll be off then."
I start walking away, each step is a slight spike of pain.
"Come see me if you need anything."
Soon I find rain, on the bottom floor with a massive mirror in front of her.
"Hey dork."
She looks back then she frowns
"oh hey. Do you need something, or?"
I shrug
"simply trying to find something to do."
I gesture to the mirror about to ask about it when... oh its mordred.
"Oh thats what's up with the mirror."
He does a little polite wave with a smile.
"Oh hello, its been a little since we last spoke."
Rain looks between us then she grins
"you know i heard that one of you called this guy a.... oh what was it, oh yes a 'abused puppy' if I'm right"
i look him up and down.
"Hmm yeah seems about right. Either they meant it literally or, in a 'a being that knows it was hurt before, and is hesitant to trust again, yet still desperately yearning for connection.' Honesty could be either one."
She just stares at me, mordred keeps smiling, he does tilt his head
"what did neither of you think I couldn't be poetic? Well I can't be"
i tap my foot, even when it hurts with each tap.
"Either way. Do you have any clue what exactly i can do?"
I sit down next to rain.
"Why don't you start making things with your ice?"
I glance at rain. Then I look to mordred letting him explain knowing I'll be mean about it
"well one of our enemies is going to be one of the versions of heat seeker. So it wouldn't be wise to do that"
she sighs
"well why don't you make something else then?"
I wave my hand, mordred and rain start talking about him training her. Making some thing. Making something. Oh I've got a idea! I stand up faster then normal and I quickly leave. I get to the bottom floor, quickly moving to a unused room. I throw out any mirrors. I summon my satchel, i dig in it, good the tools are still here. I put them on a table streaming them all out. I active one of my attributes, summoning a simple black gem. Finally i summon noctis, he looks around the room, seeing as i don't appear to be in danger he gives me a confused look, his eyes do land on the cracks along my body.
"Hey I'll be needing some help making something, you mind helping?"
