The battle flashes back to him in pieces like he's looking through cracked glass. Black chains. The rage. The howling of his soul as all the grief and fury finally had an outlet. He and his double had been two birds of fire tearing each other apart. The clash of their swords had been the voices of two people in pain.
They had known the chains would be stable enough to run on. It was as if there had been no limits in that moment. He closes his eyes and there it is again. The storm howled like a damned thing. The blood in his mouth. And the device in his hand, obeying his will as he ripped that power from the other.
'I will never be you!' He opens his eyes and says,] It's not childish to ask. I made the decision as I killed him to never do it again. In the end, he was a broken man who was trying to turn back time.
We can't. There's only forward. I don't intend to abandon my heart or my friends. [He holds his hand out to her.] I swear to you no matter what comes, I will keep my heart. Even if it makes the way onward more difficult. The only way to do that is to not let evil powers put their roots into it.
