"[color=36454f]You must truly not value the life of young Michel. What would your love think?[/color]" Though Zodiark was able to get that out, he grunted at the pain of the purification that was currently underway. Deep down, he knew this was a mistake. But his plan was worth the risk if he could get into her mind long enough to distract her from his true objective. It required a little sacrifice.

Wesley understood Emiri's hesitant reaction to keep secrets from anyone, especially Jaakuna. He knew that asking this of her would only put her in an awkward position, but what was plaguing his mind could no longer be kept from anyone. He [i]needed[/i] to tell someone. He knew he couldn't bear to tell Nadeine and everyone else would not understand. She was the only one he could disclose this to. 

"[color=fff79a]Since I woke up yesterday, I've found out things; things that were otherwise out of my reach. Knowledge-wise, I know certain things.[/color]" Wesley understood he was making little to no sense. "[color=fff79a]Allow me to rephrase.[/color]" He pressed his thumb to his lip, looking at Emiri with his darkened indigo eyes. "[color=fff79a]I had a dream last night that made a lot of things clear to me. The Word, while different for everyone, seems to give me clairvoyance. With this, I dreamt of something frightening.[/color]" Wesley found himself unknowingly gripping Emiri's hand. "[color=fff79a]I know who the protector is. The man who is responsible for the tragedy that befell my family. The man who was also responsible for Nadeline's kidnapping. The very same man that..[/color]" unknowingly, Wesley was gripping her hand, [color=fff79a]"it's me, Emiri. I am The Protector. I am...Fandaniel, the Protector, spawn of Zodiark.[/color]" 

And as he spoke that, Wesley felt ashamed to even look her into the eyes.
