Isn't this a warrior's fate? (r18)

A lot of things had to happen more or less at the same time for what happened to… well, happen. 

First, my mental state was on its last leg, exhausted by the obvious period of having my thoughts altered. Coupled with the pain of the backlash of having my darkness broken, exhaustion from all the adrenaline that dissolved in my blood by now… 

All of those factors made up just one element of the greater picture. 

Then, came our physical closeness. 

The strange domain hidden within the storm of Fay's long, silver-white hair, infused with more sparks of her aura than there were stars in the night's sky. 

Our bond and how it expanded the more death and lust there was, with the fitting name of blood and love describing our bond's inherence… 

And then, the fact that things were clearly not as they should be with my system, for I could feel this bond change and grow even when no alert appeared, no system notification revealed the change in numbers.
