"Because, dear Iris, nurturing one's darkness is the way to self-destruction. Those who acknowledge their darkness gave them the ability to use dark magic. One could easily get strong because of it, but most of the time, the dark magic would consume its being inside out. Why do you think there are many monsters in the labyrinth? That's because most of them sought power they couldn't handle."
Iris thought that she would be able to understand it better if she asked Lord Kieran about it, but how come it only made her confused? What Marcus told her made sense to her, but what Lord Kieran was saying now could mean that she was one step away from becoming a Black Mage.
She shivered at the thought as she remembered what the Elder Lich called her. Would she be strong enough to resist the darkness in her? However, she was glad that she was having this conversation with her mate.
