Chapter 1

started talking to Aryze more and more, and she let him. But, this
fact tormented her.why let the beast speak when he was stealing souls?She
did not know, but still she never stopped him. They talked to each other,
about various things, but they usually had to do with very, very dark
thingsthings that horrified the once innocent girl.

Harkan, did what he can to torment her, for he knew thatshe cared about him,
even if she did not know it herself. He began to work with her, trying to
corrupt her very existence. Aryze, became apathetic. She was scared of
nothing, Harkan could have killed her, for all she cared, but she listened,
and realized thatthe fiend had began to trust the outlander.

The trust, of course, was incomplete, but she learned much about the process
of taking souls, the collection, his goals. She, despised everything he
spoke of, but yet she could not bring herself to hate him. Aryze, had no
wish to harm Harkan, she cared too much, but she knew he had to be stopped,
though she continued listening to Harkan's words. Much of what he said, she
relayed to the fortress, and began to gather information from others,
including his victims. She did soto warn others, and to learn how Harkan
can be stopped.

It soon became apparent, that slaying Harkan would notdo the trick. She had
a deep suspicion that even if the fortress did slay him, they would not have
possession of the flasks. There had to be some way, some way to stop him.

Harkan, was truly a mystery to be solved, but she did not knowwhat her life
was worth.

Over time, Aryze realized truly how much Harkan trusted her, and how much
information he gives her. She, decided to ignore her despair and her lost
faith, for she had to do the unthinkable. It would cost her much, and
perhaps even destroy her in the process, but she must regain those 14 souls,
somehow, someway.

She, decided that the only hope, was to walk among the shadows, the
nightmares. Learn their ways, learn the fiend's grand scheme. She had
thought, that perhaps she will find a way to recover the flasks this way, it
was the only way. She had to stand by the corruption to save others from
corruption. In other words, she had to trick Harkan in speaking too much.

Aryze, knew that, she would be corrupted if she does this.it is almost
impossible to live among fiends and not become one yourself, but she was
going to fight for her life, for the 14 souls. Nothing will make her give
up, until she fell in her last battle. She will save those souls, one way or
another, even if she would risk everything, including her entire being.

As Atchertene said, "What better way is there to bring light to the
Nightmares, then to walk among them." She will fight from the inside,
something almost unheard of, and even allow herself to be destroyed, but she
is not about to let those souls be corrupted and destroyed. No one deserved
this torture, not even the soul of the imperial. She will trick the fiend,
and then find a way to destroy and stop the fiend, even if she cared about
him.

He will be stopped
