Unsettling Answers (Part 1)

"Okay, and what's an Elysia?" Heartache and longing were the only replies Derek received.

Even with the life forces wounded and split, the Void could still feel Elysia's presence in the distance.

He turned around until he could feel something calling unto him.

"Dya! Dya!" Back at the Verhen Mansion, the baby girl felt his call too, but no one understood why she started crying and flaying her small limbs in the direction her father was.

Back on Mount Malana, Derek had now even more questions and one answer he didn't like one bit.

"Okay, I want to make another experiment." He tried to take the Voidwalker armor off but before he could look for latches, the artifact turned into a silvery liquid and slipped off him.

"Fuck me sideways, is the armor a living symbiote?"

"No." Ragnarök answered. "Just metal."

"What about you?" Derek asked.
