[ Dion thinks of correcting it, that title, but decides not to bother. ]
I suppose the truth is quite frightening at times, isn't it.
[ He thinks of the truth of his own world, the horrors that were always there where no one knew them. It would have been easier to live a life unaware, wouldn't it? ]
The Eikon's power is terrifying.
[ His voice is soft when he says it, eyes cast down at the table again. ]
Bahamut has more power than I could even have imagined despite being his Dominant for most of my life. It was an honour when I first gained his favour. I was revered for it, for something that I was chosen for, an accident of birth or blood or fate. I still do not know why me, though Bahamut has chosen from my father's bloodline for generations. Why me, though? I've often wondered.
[ There are still those who have chosen to trust him, people who address him now as Your Radiance. He doesn't deserve any of that, if he ever did.
He puts that out of his mind as best he can. ]
I do not wish to lose myself, not to the king of dragons and not to a curse.
[ Is there another monster to worry about now, he wonders? Or would it only be as it was before, Bahamut's rage and Dion's lack of control or memory of what had come? Though if he's honest — and he is — it was his rage, too, his despair. He cannot allow such a thing ever again. ]
I'm not too keen on the options for keeping the curse of this place at bay, but…needs must, I suppose.
[ He's always been dutiful, and is it not his duty to keep people safe from him in this situation? Ugh, what a nightmare. ]
I think I would prefer sex to violence, all things considered. Violence gets out of control too easily. I have no desire to hurt anyone without due cause.
