After killing the two mages, he sulked back to Joshua. His presence was no longer as cold and hostile, but still uncomfortable to say the least. Arkan understood what his new master had told him but gave no acknowledgement. He began to follow Joshua, sadly, it was his duty now. 

The magic that now flowed through him was bountiful but there was something more, something he had not known for a long time. Before he had been put to sleep he had only killed a handful of mages, spread out over a long time period. It was enough to sustain him, as they were hard to come by even back then. This new thing that he was feeling was perhaps a small bit of emotion. Small memories played out in his mind, bits and fragments that were not his own. It felt... familiar, but as quickly as they had come, they were gone again.

The tall knight looked around, and his gaze fell upon the spot where he had almost consumed the girl. She was gone.
