-No Scribe. Look at me! I’m not leaving you here alone with her.-

There’s nothing you can do. She...

-She will kill you! All of us will die! Do you want that?!-

No, but...

//He starts to say more but shakes his head, lowering his wings away from her in recognition of her decision.//

-If that is what you wish I will return to Illyria and Creek.-

He’s waking up, Net. I can hear it in your voice. Go where you will be safe. I’ll... I’ll be fine.

Nether...?

I don’t like that tone. Why are you angry?

She won’t. Mallory will get the cure. We have to trust her.

Nether, please... we can work through this together. You don’t have to push us away.

I have him asleep again. Might I add I do not enjoy forcefully restraining him.

//She keeps one eye on Nether, preparing to intervene if he goes to attack again. She also keeps trying to pinpoint where Proniment might be hiding.// Nether, you’re going to hurt them! I know you don’t want that. ~Mallory

//He hisses, flapping his wings. It’s clear he’s once again fallen under Proniment’s influence.//

[spiritspectres]

//She dodges his attack and circles back to the others. She’s tired and scared, but there’s no way she’ll let Prominent know that.// Next you’ll tell me the sky is blue. And he /is/ coming back. One way or another.

Are you certain of that? You see the shape he’s in. All because he kept resisting...

[spiritspectres]

You mean they’ll be as good as dead. Locked away inside their own minds. (I’ll set you up for another attack.)

No creature should have to suffer... losing his species and then his soul-mate... not to mention the destruction of his alter...

//Proniment shocks him again, causing Nether to scream in pain.//

I think he will agree this is the only option he wants
