I could have left him there in the Void, you know.
[ It comes out bitterly. He doesn't rightly know where he's headed with his words but between the dizziness and pressure in his head, it comes spilling out. ]
When I was casting about for a soul to pull for the Creator, I saw the mage drifting. I could have left him there and you would have proceeded on with your lives thinking he had returned whence he came. But I brought him back because despite being one of Zodiark's thralls, despite being your enemy, and even despite hating him, I could not very well leave him there to be consumed by the dark!
[ He wavers in place and shuts his eyes, grimacing ]
Because despite our history of enmity, we were once friends. And I hate seeing you die.
