Wyrd left Myuler's house, his seemingly huge form passing through the doorway with little trouble. He stopped for a moment, reguarding his offspring and her companion Ryiln still standing outside the threashold of the house. He sniffed a moment, then sighed and walked off, his huge feet carrying him toward the castle. He smelled one of his former companions there as well, and he wondered how brash it was of her to enter the city posing as something she wasn't. Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of an elf leaving the city, graceful and deadly. The father that was no longer a father.

Wyrd gave a wry smile. Things were changing.

That was always good.

And he was about to make something else change.

Wyrd made his way into the castle, no one blocking his way this time. There were whispers in the castle of change, of retractions, but they didn't concern him. It never did.

He made his way upstairs, his destination was Emi, and Emi he found in her mother's room, her knees drawn under her chin in thought. She didn't even look over at him as he walked up to the bed and sat on his haunches.

"You."

As if waking her up, Emi's head rose and turned to Wyrd at the sound of his voice. His left hand came up, and he placed two claws on her forhead.

"I can see into your heart."

Emi blinked at him, almost blankly, wondering what he was going on about.

"I can see a dark cloud there."

A warm feeling passed over Emi, and she felt the urge to close her eyes and fall asleep, but rejected it, keeping her eyes instead on Wyrd. She noted both sets of his eyes seemed to glow slightly with a violet hue. She knew that glow. Her eyes widened slightly, and she found herself unable to move. Fear took her instead.

"And I intend to clear it."

Silver teeth flashed, and Wyrd removed the two claws from Emi's forhead, pulling with them a ghostly strand of energy. It looked like a chain. When he fully drew back his claws, the end of the chain held a draconic figure, tightly bound in that etheral chain. A red set of eyes lifted to the bound figure, while the gold still rested on Emi.

"Memories hold no power if you do not have them."

His arm snapped back even further, and the bound figure rolled up as though it were a yo-yo, chains keeping it from even screaming out in rage that was evident in those six eyes. With a smile, Wyrd shoved the creature into his mouth and swallowed it whole, setting it to rage within the void of his own making. Not even he could kill it, but there were always things worse than death. Emi just stared blankly off into space.

"It's up to your own self to forgive yourself for what you did to these people, and it will be on your own that you try and amend with your Goddess. But this burden, this terrible memory, I take from you."

Wyrd snapped his fingers, and Emi shook her head, blinking a few times before looking at Wyrd in confusion. He stood from his haunches, and walked to the door, looking back over his shoulder to the girl before leaving. She was still confused.

"Go take care of your mother."

With that said, he left, leaving Emi to wonder why he had been there, before shaking her head and leaving her room as well, only a moment behind Wyrd, but he was already gone.

You're taking chances by doing this, you know that.
Yes, I know.
