"No. I'm not a monster!" Bytra returned to her human form, sobbing. "Not anymore."
"Bytra, what's going on? You are scaring me." Solus said.
"Good. You have to be scared of me. No, you have to hate me." Bytra endured the pangs from the blood madness and kept it at bay.
"Hate you? I barely know you."
"You are wrong, Elphyn Menadion." A thunder accompanied that name and black clouds appeared out of nowhere, covering the clear sky.
Solus froze, feeling her world turning upside-down for no apparent reason.
"We've know each other for a long time. Yet there are no words that can express our relationship. I'd rather show you, if you'll allow me." Bytra took her Forgemastering wand, creating a blue tendril that stopped in front of Solus.
The mind link had to be her choice.
