Tome of Naedithas: Boss Battle - Inner Turmoil

#7 “You don’t have to fear me,” says the Godspawn, who waits for you, but still circles like a predator. “We can remake you so you’ll never be afraid, and you can reject weak, mortal flesh.” Draw or write your character confronting this temptation—though you must resist it to win this battle!

 

Naedithas froze on the spot when he heard the Godspawn offer something so tempting. He indeed felt weak most of the time since he wasn’t strong enough to resist the creature which took control over his mind and body to kill his parents. Ever since that day he was afraid. So afraid of something similar happening again, abstaining from all physical touch coming from others just to make sure that they won’t get harmed. He’d never forgive himself if someone else suffered by his own hands which tended to move on their own.

 

„What you say must feel great… -“ He sighed and looked at his own hands, vividly imagining some of the past sceneries where he caused unwanted harm. What he’d give to turn back time to right his wrong doings. It wasn’t an option to forget about them, afterall he had to carry those burdens on his shoulders since the day he would die. Keep the people he ended and harmed present in his memories to atone for his sins and honor them.

 

For that reason alone he couldn’t accept the tempting offer. He’d change, stop being who he was at this point and forget all the things which kept him going. He had to make his parents proud and die a warrior, not a monster...

 

„- but it doesn’t work on me and it won’t work on anyone else either because I WILL END YOU!“ With deep sadness in his eyes, Naedithas took a battle stance once more and held his axe in the direction of the Godspawn. A bitter smile spread on his lips as hurt filled his mind.

 

At least this pain is mine and mine alone and it will keep me running till I die..!
