"Can you feel it, Aiden?" The smirk in his face transforming yet again, he stared at Aiden like a hungry predator would at his helpless prey. "This… All of this is honest. There are no lies, misinformation, there's no place for any shroud of doubt. Pour your everything into that blade and answer my call!"
