S: "That's going to be a problem. I'm pretty pissed of at Aries right now and I don't think that's diminishing any time soon"

"Deal with it."

-
"That's the only way to keep control. Build a bridge and get over it. Cope. Giving in to revenge will only let the Darkness consume you more."

Edited by Moot: 12/14/2015 12:54:45 AMS: "I'm only doing this partly for revenge. Killing Aries will also redeem Lake, James and Lakir, and everyone else who died today. I also think that's the only way to rid myself of this curse. He needs to die. Or at least..." Switch trailed off in deep thought.
-
"You'll be like Aries if you kill him. It just passes the role he has to you."
-
S: "In his eyes, he's already done that. But I don't have any other choice here if I want to be returned to normal. I can't live like this. I'm not even sure I count as living still"
-
"I'm not sure you can go back after being thoroughly corrupted like that."

Edited by Moot: 12/14/2015 2:26:26 AMS: "maybe not. I accept that I'm never going to be quite the same again. But I just know somehow that this can be reversed. Like I said earlier, what's happened to you and I respectively is quite different. I hold a piece of Aries inside of me; his physical dark embodiment of sorrow. I have some fragments of his hunger too, which I got from Lake. But I still have the light within me, it's just being suppressed right now. The point is, I need to return these fragment of Aries back to him if I want to lift this curse. And then, I'll kill him there to prevent this ever happening again"

"Wait, you can't feel it?"
-
Edited by Moot: 12/14/2015 2:36:50 AMS: "Can't feel what? I can feel a lot of things right now, and most of them are things I'd rather not feel right now. Not to mention the voices..."
-
"Your Light's gone."
-
S: "Not technically. It's not within me anymore, but it's not gone. I knew what Aries was doing to me before it was too late. I had a trick or two up my sleeve at the time. Preserving measures, if you will..." He slowly looked up at the traveler directly, as if he knew something about it that no one else did. As if he saw something inside of it that no one else could see. S: "...But, if you mean I have no possession over it anymore, then you're right. For now..."
-
"Hold on." Erik put a hand on Switch's chest and focused for a second.
-
Switch was expecting come kind of feint feeling to hit him the moment Erik touched him, as any guardian would in contact with a taken, but instead it felt soothing, almost inviting. Familiar. S: "What is it?..."
-
"Inspecting if you have cardiac cancer. I'm checking your Light." He rolled his eyes under his helmet, but smiled a little. Only a little.
-
S: "Uh thanks, but last time I checked, Exos didn't get cardiac cancer. We don't even have cardiac tissue..."
-
"It was a...nevermind. Anyway, it's barely there. Just a tiny sliver."
-
S: "--of light?"
-
"Yeah."
-
S: "Good. That'll be enough for now... The one thing of mine that Aries will never be able break is my will to serve the light. But anyway, I should have already left... I know a place. Secluded, tranquil, and safe. Somewhere to hide and recollect thoughts. Somewhere to just..." Switch and Jaden both became encased in a thick dark cloud of whispering black smoke that seemed to twist and turn like the ocean tides. After a moment or two it dispersed and settled, evaporating into nothingness in the air. Switch and Jaden had disappeared.

-
A female titan stepped forward from the crowd of surrounding guardians and a addressed Erik. "They're gone, mate. They're safer wherever they are now than they were here. Some trigger finger was bound to snap at some point sooner or later"
-
"But I..."
-
"If you want to find him, you already know where to look"
-
"What? I have no idea where they are."
