“Fine. If you insist.” Pheore steps forward, drawing her other sword with a flourish. “Alright! Step away from the chain and we all walk home happy. Except for you, but I’m not inclined to care.” She shrugs.
Symphony laughs,
“Betray? Why do you think less of me. Right now my goals barely align with those simpletons…However your and my methods are closer. From that you can guess why I need the chain.”
He continues walking towards Erisan,
“I only chose what helps me accomplish my goal. My goal of killing Makuta, we align much better than these heroes. I personally plan on using that chain so I can battle him, once Makuta is dead…well you could guess at my plans.”
Symphony grins,
“Makuta is a stepping stone compared to my true goal, who knew a mask would set me free and give me such a goal…the goal given to me by the sun. It is to create chaos, and for his help, I plan on completing his wish.”
He points at Nuuma with his sword,
“Give me that chain and I can promise you your life, my brother will protect me and he will kill me. Oh…if you chose to do as I say, tell the pacifist, herbalist, vegetarian, anti-war, complainer that she need to keep that mask. It’s my plan B. Please do as I say and tell her…Sonata is her name.”
Geet looks at Erisan,
“I would say that I arrived late, but the company I came with is quite persistent. If you don’t want me to be your enemy, then stay out of my way. I’m beginning to feel anger and I don’t deal with it nicely…ever heard of Geet’s blood-lust? I wonder who gave it to him.”
Symphony puts on his cloak’s hood, the dark-like cloud swarms around him. he disappears. Symphony appears in front of Nuuma,
“I can help, so please listen to me.”
“Yeah!” Kavix calls back. “There’s a couple of us down here trying to get the Dimensional Chain, stop Makuta, save the world… you know, typical stuff you do with friends on a [okotan equivalent to a Saturday]!”
Symphony chuckles, ignoring Erisan. He says to Nuuma,
“Nothing that I can say, will get you to trust me. In fact I would be scared if you did trust me. In which case I want you to watch me and decide for yourself by my actions.”
Symphony uses his shadow Cloak, appearing in front of Erisan. He looks up,
“Do you even know why I often took kill missions or my reasoning at the floating arena?”
He smiles,
“I have met that voice you obey, face to face. He is the last thing I am worried about.”
He looks at his chest,
“You could say that I have gained power.”
