[i] Desmond trace a hand over his heart, where he'd felt that child being put into his cut open chest. The monster inside of him had devoured Lucien's brother..[/i]
"I suppose I owe you some answers too. The Black Ka'kari has several applications, its known as The Devourer, like you observed, it can absorb attacks. But.."
[i] He pauses, holding out a palm. Through his skin seeps an oily black substance, thick almost like tar, but much smoother. It formed into an [url=https://imgur.com/a/Pk2Oz]orb[/url], one that pulsed with magical energy and was inscribed all around with runic designs.[/i]
"It also makes me immortal. Immortal to time, but I can still die. The cost of being brought back from the dead, is the life of a loved one."
[i]Now it made sense. Why he hadn't wanted to die, and why he'd said he'd come back and kill him. If Lucien had let him die, he would've killed a loved one.[/i]

"I have great respect for you then. To carry on the weight of a monster in order to save a life you hold dear... I wish I had that selflessness in my younger years." Lucien looks back up at Desmond as he puts the syringe within the folds of his coat. "I'll be seeing you soon. I heard this dead 'Phoenix' of the Dojo had a weapons shop hidden in the local cafe. Strange how similar this man and I... I don't trouble myself too much with it though. I may investigate, see if I can find other weapons there."

"Yeah..I've got someone I need to talk to as well." [i] He says quietly. He'd slammed a door in Chloe's face, and he very well could've killed her just a few minutes ago. Dammit. [/i] "Thank you, Lucien. I know you don't see it as a good thing, but I've lost far too many people to this power." [i] He holds the Ka'kari, which melted back into his skin abruptly and without a trace left. [/i] "I couldn't bear another one."
