Alari was silent for a moment staring at the others in front of him, he watched Larel who continued to glare at him but gripped his pants trying to hide his curiosity. After everything that happened they deserved answers, especially after what Kaori did and in the end Larel probably knew one of the secrets Alari kept from him. He shut his eyes realizing he was just making up excuses, he wanted to share this with Larel for a while now, and with Hotaru and Mera being an important part of his life, he felt a need to let them know too. With how things had changed perhaps this time would be a little different, but he remembered what happened when he got his hopes up, it generally ended the same way. "...All right..." Alari said. "Please pay close attention, you can come out." Something ran around in Alari's clothing and in the next moment the little fox named Jin popped out, he rubbed his head head against Alari's cheek causing him to pet him before he whispered something to the little creature. Jin nodded and leapt off Alari's shoulder before his eyes glowed, in the next moment red energy flowed off him before hovering above his body, Alari reached forward and turning the energy around let it form into a sort of circular shape. "I figured it'd be easier to show then tell," Alari said closing his eyes. A moment later images started to form in the circle, it was fuzzy at first as the memories came together but after a moment the scene became visible and it wasn't exactly a pretty one. In the distance a large village was on aflame, screams echoed from the burning town and people ran screaming for an end as the flames consumed their bodies, corpses burned beyond recognition laid nearby enmass, and there were only two people not affected by the fire. A child who looked an awful lot like Larel and a tall man with long silver hair fluttering behind him, he was covered in blood and he held a bloody sword in his hand as he stared at the flames. There was a cold expression on his face, and upon closer inspection he looked extremely similar to Alari "...this is what happens when you get close Larel," the man said glancing at him. “They’re suffering is due to your own foolishness.” The boy who was apparently Larel grit his teeth and glared at the man, he quickly ran towards him tears streaming down his face fists brought back but the man kicked him away with little difficult, the boy gritting his teeth as he hit the ground. He was covered in bruises showing this wasn’t the first time he had tried to fight back. The man shook his head and tossed something in front of Larel, hidden from view earlier. When Larel raised his head his heart sunk in his chest seeing the head of young girl resting in front of him. "S-sis.......n...no...nononononono." Larel shivered his hands reaching out towards her, only to pull them back seeing the horrified expression on his face. "...Alari....why...she didn’t…she did nothing…" Larel said raising his head to him. "You...you bastard! I-I'll kill you!" Alari sighed and slammed his foot onto the back of Larel's head forcing him back onto the ground when he tried to stand. "You're not strong enough to kill me boy...and unfortunately I need you alive...so...if you want to kill me that badly...then get stronger. If you want to be allowed to pursue silly things like this...then kill me. Because I'm just going to keep taking away the things you love until you learn what your place is in this world." Alari took his foot off Larel's head and walked past him ignoring the boy's whimpers as his hands closed into fists, blood running down his wrists as his nails dug into the skin. "Hurry up I don't have all day," Alari said. Larel shivered but climbed to his feet slowly, he looked back at the village of fire for a moment and then to the head at his feet. "...I’m sorry..." He mumbled the words before turning and following after Alari. "I promise...I'll kill him...for all of this..." Alari opened his eyes the image fading as Jin's eyes returned to normal, reaching over he ran his hands over the small bracelet on his wrist, he was silent for a moment his eyes focused on the floor. After a moment he opened his mouth and spoke. "Your sister is dead Larel..." Alari said before looking at him. "I killed her." It happened in the span of a moment Larel slammed Alari against the wall his blade against his throat, his eyes glowed a bright red and his breathing was heavy as darkness poured out of his being staring at this man. Unlike most times however Alari made no attempt to move or dodge, he just averted his gaze from Larel. “You need to let her go,” Alari said staring at him. “Stop pursuing it.” "Y-Y-" Larel tried to speak but he could feel Zenmaru slipping out of him. He brought a hand to his head and released Alari before turning and running out of the door, moving away from the inn as fast as he could. Alari sighed and touched his neck pulling it away seeing a bit of red, the blade had been pressed against his skin, at least hard enough to break it. Shaking his head Alari sat tailor style before looking over at Hotaru. "...I'm sorry to ask Hotaru but could you retrieve him. He's going to need a friend in this moment..." Alari still seemed to be keeping something to himself, it was hard for even him to hide it in his current state, but whatever it was he didn't seem keen on sharing it at the moment, he wasn't proud of what he just showed after all. “That…went about as expected unfortunately.”
