[i]I appear on a nearby rooftop, watching and listening to the crowd.[/i]
English
-
A man on a slightly raised platform starts to yell. “I have something to tell you, about a so called hero!” Keria can recognize him as Blaze’s priest at his wedding.
-
"Oh this guy again..." [i]I look at his mental state, and how easily he can be fooled.[/i]
-
He can’t be fooled easily.. “I have a message about Blaze Lightningglove!”
-
[i]I think for a moment about how difficult it would be to appear to him and only him. Then I realize the only issue would be if he would take the bait.[/i]
-
“So, the hero in the Order of Papillon, Blaze Lightningglove....”
-
[i]I decide to make a little instance of reality in his vision, but to the rest of the crowd he will look delusional. In his vision, a hurricane starts to form, and a lightning bolt cracks, a dark figure appearing on the edge of the platform/[/i]
-
The man ignores it. “The truth to Blaze Lightningglove.....”
-
[i]The dark figure runs forward, and tries to swing a punch at the man's face, albeit it is easily dodge-able.[/i]
-
The man jumps a bit but dodges. “Blaze Lightningglove is a vampire!” The crowd gasps and murmurs.
-
[i]The dark figure appears visible to all,[/i] "[i]And I am WORSE. What makes you think yourself worthy to consider yourself an authority to hold power over such people?"[/i]
-
The man glares at it. “I am worthy because I have the bravery to do this!”
-
[i]I sigh, and the figure slowly changes into me. I sit into a leather armchair that appears in time to catch me.[/i] "And what am I then O Glorious One With A Pair?"
-
He jumps. “You’re the demon who was at his wedding!”
-
"Correct."
-
“Why are you here?!”
-
"Because. Why are you here?" [i]I tilt my head, my eyes ablaze.[/i]
-
“T...to tell the people the truth!”
-
"What? That someone who cares for their safety is different?"
-
“He’s not different, he’s a monster!”
-
"You don't have to have a different genome to be a monster."
-
“But he’s a vampire! He feeds on the good citizens of this city! The John and Jane Does!”
-
"I could rip your soul out of your body and consume it without a second thought. He doesn't have a choice."
-
“Oh he has no choice, but he’s a monster all the same!”
-
"You persecute people like you have no choice."
-
“He took my life away from me!”
