Destiny Cannot Be Defied

Waterfall cave

Skinorse read the contents of the letter.

"Master, I cannot control the demon in my heart… The will to kill is eating away at my soul. A sinister existence is tempting me. She also planted a plague in Gladstone… Ah, I must control myself… no, no, that's too hard. I don't know what I may do. I just want to kill right now. I want to kill everyone… I need power… ah, I can't control myself anymore!"

Both the letter's content and handwriting were messy. There would be pauses occasionally too. One could feel the writer's conflicted thoughts. Skinorse read softly; the content made everyone in the cave quiet down.

When he finished, the cave was silent. The only sounds came from Priest Moya. She was treating Annie's wounds. Her expression was still calm, and her movements were steady. She didn't seem affected at all.
