[quote=@souleaterfan320] King: It's not about power. *takes the kick, but I remain unmoving, and you feel as if you'd just kicked solid mineral* It's what you do with it. Amaranthine isnt a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card. Is simply a means to defy death to continue your growth, the power it gives still has to be learned, and everyone has their own unique way of using it. [/quote] [quote=@ZAVAZggg] *Lowers my leg and slides my hands into my pockets as I take a step back, the hand I withdrew earlier having regained its rigidity in the interim* [color=silver]Yet you have no choice [i]but[/i] to use it once you have it. You can't even branch out to pursue other potentials, because your whole existence lies within a singular thing.[/color] *Shrugs* [color=silver]It's not a very enticing prospect. As for defying death, I doubt yours is the only way. Why I myself know that I have walked this world in different incarnations before, though I've yet to unlock the specific memories those lives entail. In that way I already defy death just fine, so again I must ask...[/color] *Pauses, my gaze locking with yours* [color=silver]Why should I join you? You offer me nothing I cannot reasonably achieve on my own, save for empty promises perhaps.[/color] [/quote] *Disappears, reappearing between you two imperceptibly quickly from where I was standing, a wide grin on my face* And that, there, is the kicker! *I turn to face King* Get out of here, has-been. And take your flowers with you.
