Accursed Heritage
[Thou shall perish like the Tarnished…] [I Have Made The Foolish Mistake Of Trusting A Tarnished…] [Oh, Foul Tarnished…] *** An orphan by the name of June found himself swept into the wretches of the Ark, a magical world that connected its existence to the world from which he came… the Mortal Realm. Realizing he was a dead man, he accepted his fate… only, his fate turned out to be drastically different than what he had expected. In fact, it offered him an opportunity to live, something he thought wasn’t possible. But with such an opportunity, came a cost, and his… well, was a dark one.
Truth
So then, that's how Gemm truly felt.
She quieted down as she shook her head.
The Shift hadn't arrived yet, but when it did, she'd be immune thanks to him. Besides that, he played no role in her returning to Duke or the Sheltered Void. He was simply her insurance.
June sneered, shaking his head.
"... Of course. So then, what if I severed our connection, what then?"
Remaining calm despite her harsh words, June brought up his forearm, his eyes gazing at Gemm's who tried her best not to show a reaction.
"You wouldn't. You need me just as much as I need you."
Gemm retorted, shrugging it off. Her brows slightly twitched a bit, though.
"Sure… but don't you need me more?"
June questioned, taking a few steps toward her. In terms of importance, he heavily outweighed her. Without him, she'd be doomed. More than that, she hadn't done anything significant for him.
