I'Karis shrugged. "If that's what you want to think, I guess that's your prerogative. Pretty sure he's not actually going by choice, though. I mean lets face it, pissing off the most powerful mage in the realm is pretty much just a bad idea all around." He leaned against a tree. "Have you ever been where Astien is?

"Then the darkness isn't just around you. It's inside you too. You feel it rot your heart and cloud your brain. You can't tell what's what anymore. You don't feel alive anymore. You just sort of... Exist. And you just drift wherever the outside world takes you."

I'm just here for a laugh
