It was night in the regent´s bedroom. The ruler of Aiekara was still laying on his back in his bed. He was still unconscious, he didn´t respond to anybody for days by now. His skin had a dead-like tone... and would it be for a common person´s sight, he would be already declared dead.

Only a few could tell he wasn´t. He was still breathing, his heart was still beating. Weakly, but it was. The crippling curse he was hit by was still strong.

A silent, high-pitched laugh sounded in his mind, like a nightmare. It was getting louder. More and more, unless he could clearly recognise who it belonged to.

"What will you do now, old man?" Another laugh. "I wonder, where is your life and strengh now? Where is the courage and fake truth you believed in? E-heheeeee..."

The regent gasped for breath.

"How good does this feel? I can still reach for your heart... I could kill you if I wanted!"

"Lionir, are you alright? Hey! You need to breathe!" a figure raised up from the chair next to the bed. "Lionir!"

It wasn´t so difficult for somebody who used to be a healer to recognise somebody´s heart stopped.

"But why should I already... it seems like much more fun... to play for a little while before I do that!"

The regent jumped up into sit in pain that stoke his whole body. The shadow mage jumped aside. The ruler of Aiekara soon fell back into the bed.

"Why don´t you open your eyes... or wait... I can force them to... see who is there to see you?"

The moment Garix stepped closer to cover the regent again, his eyes, turned black by nether, opened.
He screamed out, lashing around himself by hands. A surge of memories. His best friend betraying him. The screams of his family. Finding out he is all alone, being forced to battle with Garix.
In a second, it was all gone and he fell back on the bed, his body and mind struggling with pain.

"Oh if this isn´t fun! But don´t worry, I will be back tomorrow... and play a little bit more... our great, beloved regent of Aiekara! E-he-he heeeeeeee..."

As the voice of the witch-general began to fade in his mind, the regent stopped shaking and fighting with an invisible opponent. He was back to laying in his bed, without a single move, barely breathing. There were a few black spots that appeared on his skin. A living tissue killed by nether that was still in his body, placed there by Gueira´s attack.

Garix gently covered him. "This cannot continue..."
"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
