Devouring Light

ASran smiled “I’d assume not, especially since being a prisoner in your own body could be considered a form of hell.” He then looked to the carbuncle familiar, “but, you were also quite lucky they. Were so nice as well. There are also a few that are well, lets just say they’re complete assholes.”

When Ayrie yawned he did as well, and then stretched a little bit. “Guess this means I should take you home.” Even though he seriously wanted to stay home, and sleep. Sleep maybe till the next day, perhaps. He wasn’t sure, all he knew was that he was absolutely exhausted.

“Well having your body being controlled by someone else is invasive. Let alone being at that someone’s mercy. So of course it was surprised it was thanked. Most people would tell it to get the hell out of them. I know I have, and I’ve even developed a way of devouring them. So that way I cannot be possessed for very long,” Asran said.

“Carbuncles are known for being incredibly powerful after all. It’d make sense he’d know far more about light magic then others. Seeing as he was born from it, and is one with it. Honestly Astoria wished to contract one, but she just wasn’t compatible. Why I still don’t know,” Asran said with a shrug.

Devouring Light

“I don’t wish for you to get involved with that. It’ll only cause you problems, especially if your soul is Astoria’s. Eventually as your power grows you’ll become a light,” Asran said simply. As if Ayrie helped him with it then those of the light would come barging down his door to purify him to remove his taint from the light. It’d happened previously with Astoria, and he’d barely been able to fight them off when he was well into his prime.

“I have plans of helping children. While also planning how I am going to get my revenge. Though if the opportunity arises to get some petty revenge by say, destroying a temple filled with particularly nasty priests of his. Well, who’s to say I won’t enjoy eating a few of them. They give him power, but then they’d give me their power,” he said smirking evilly at the end.

Devouring Light

Asran laughed, and mock rubbed his arm as if it hurt chuckling. Then watched her sit down making him laugh more at her joke. “Well you are at least there’s that,” he smirked.
Then turned to his food, and started eating he went to get seconds, and then a third share. As he was recovering his strength. He looked at his hand as it felt so much stronger than it used to. He then turned to look up at Ayrie when she mentioned something about them getting to know each other better.
“Well, I like to garden as it’s calming. Along with going fishing to not only enjoy tasty fresh fish. But, for the same reason as gardening it’s calming. With how hectic it can get with running Cornopa I need to have calming hobbies. Otherwise, I think I’d pull a wrath and slam someone’s head through a wall with how helpless the people on my city can act without me.”

Devouring Light

“Nah that doesn’t seem likely. It’s like taking care of an adorable puppy. Who doesn’t quite know how the world works just yet,” Asran teased with a smirk. He then turned to his unfinished meal. “I’m still starved so I’m gonna finish my meal. You should do the same. I mean I did cook it for the both of us,” he said.

Devouring Light

Asran looked at her with such worry filled eyes. But, slowly he calmed after shutting his eyes he resting his head slightly into her hands. “Thank you,” He said softly. Then looked up at her again he loved her, and it worried him. “I just wish I knew if I fell for you. Or if I fell for the woman you were reborn from.”

Devouring Light

“It makes me sick with fear, and worry. That you’re love is caused by the fact your Astoria reincarnated. Not because of her memories, but something that runs deeper. That my own... What if it’s a cosmic joke? What if when or if we got through with falling in love. That something like the curse will happen again? What if we are just meant to suffer? I don’t want that, I don’t want that to happen to either of us.” Asran shook his head deeply his fears may seem insane. But, ever since Astoria he could not find it in his heart to love again. Yet here Ayrie was, and here he was falling in love with her.

Devouring Light

“That is where the problem lays. We don’t really know each other. Yet because you’re Astoria reincarnated there are these feelings. That should be earned not something that just poofs itself into existence. Because fate or whatever the hell dictates why these feelings should exist. It’s frustrating,” Asran said putting a hand to his face. “Not to mention unfair. I’m supposed to move on, I’m supposed to forget the feelings. I should hate Astoria, and everything to do with her for betraying me. Yet I cannot bring myself to do so, it’s perverse.”
