"Le's head back somewhere quiet an' I'll explain everythin'."
Fionn promises before transmating away. Seconds later both their Ghosts receive coordinates from Wisp that lead to a clearing at the foot of the mountain.

-
Within a flash, both the Hunter and the Warlock are there.
-
Fionn is sitting in the clearing, the knife in his hand. The darkness around him seems... Almost tame. Like his light has merged with it. "Where should I start?" He asks.
-
"Where the hell did you get that knife? Looks like Hive weaponry," Sarah asked.
-
Edited by Cannon011: 2/3/2017 11:27:22 PM"Close... But no. It ain't Hive." He holds it up. "Go ahead an' say hi." He whispers to it. Suddenly, the two girls feel a presence surround them. A consciousness large beyond comprehension. [i][i][b]Yes, oh bearer of mine. Hello, guardians of light.[/b][/i][/i]
-
"I... Ahamkara... what?"
-
[b][i]So you know what I am. This is surprising. Your kind hunted us well, Guardians of light.[/i][/b] Fionn just nods.
-
"I wasn't there for it," Mia said. "Your knife is your.... familiar?" Sarah asked.
-
"The knife is cursed. I just 'appen ta be the unlucky sod that ended up with it." [b][i]You speak as though you do not enjoy my company, oh bearer of mine.[/i][/b]
-
"I don't enjoy it, either."
-
The voice laughs, a low, raspy sound. [b][i]The feeling is mutual, oh friend of ny bearer. But alas, I am bound to this one, Fionn, until our death.[/i][/b]
-
"Your soul is stubborn, which is why you speak. Find peace. Accept your form, and be silent."
-
The laughter resumes. [b][i]Accept my form? Foolish child, I made this form! I chose this to avenge those slayn unjustly by your kind![/i][/b] Fionn winces, as though in pain.
-
"You shall seek no vengeance for as long I live. Oh hater mine..."
-
The voice hisses in disgust. "Enough!" Fionn growls. They feel the presence jolt as if struck bwfore it retracts itself back towards the knife. [b][i]As you say, oh bearer. I beg pardon.[/i][/b] It whispers before retreating entirely from their minds. "I bloo'y hate that snake." Fionn murmers.
-
"Wish-dragon. Not snake," Mia says.
-
"Well he acts more like a snake, bloo'y reptile." He growls. "I'm guessing you're both wonderin' why I have the knife?"
-
"Duh," Mia says.
-
"Alright. I got it abou' fifteen years ago from... A friend. Turns out it wan's ta die, but can't because of how powerful it is. So I amde a deal with it..."
-
"You idiot."
-
[spoiler]I can't tell which one is talking, could you specify more in later replies?[/spoiler] "Hear me out. This thing has lurved a long time in the knife, and wants to die. But 'e can't. 'Es too powerful for even suicide. Also, he's real violent. So I made a deal. He helps me fight the darkness, an' in return, I linked him to my light. When my light dies, it'll kill 'em."
-
"That... sucks," Sarah said.
-
"You 'ave no bloo'y idea." He sighs. "I've 'een tryin' to find a way to kill him withou' dieing. But no luck."
-
"This is why I don't make deals with Ahamkara," Mia says.
-
"Well, it was 'at or let him try an' corrupt the next guardian he found."
-
"I understand..." Sarah replied.
