Still feeling incredibly distant and forlorn, Ulkas tried to smile reassuringly:
"Say, Astrosa, do you remember the second time that we've met? You was greatly surprised by my progress then... Heh. Just as I said, I got this power from Tinzakena, so-called God of Truth and Lies, a being foreign to this world. At first, I thought that the link between us was severed during the ritual, but when we met Chosen of Tinzakena, it was reestablished, in a new shape. Instead of slave leash, it was more of a contact line. Now, it has gotten strong enough to allow power transfer once more... And make a proper conversation possible. Firstly, I asked Tinzakena of his origins. And... He answered. I even managed to stay sane through the ordeal, even if I had to sever the most alien parts of this revelation."
Ulkas hummed and tapped his chin, smearing fingers in the blackened blood.
"It is hard to describe the view I've seen. So alien, so terrifying... And so interesting to look at and understand. I can try explaining it to you, but I can't guarantee my explanation would be comprehensible. Sorry."
Explain my current state to Astrosa, not stating the possibility of Tinzakena control directly, and explain the otherworldly picture to her if she takes interest.
"Now, we must decide what we truly want and how we wish to accomplish it. Flow of time is getting turbulent, soon enough most of the lands would be plunged into the war of extinction. Possibly, the last one. We may turn to the past in search of answers. We may turn to the present in search of raw power. Or we may turn to the future, in search of possibilities and world salvation - well, so to speak. All this choices would lead to us getting stronger, in different ways and by different means. But all of them lead to Malderuine demise. Because you wish so, Astrosa. And I will tear this world apart for you if needed."
Hear her opinion.
