The moment Zarek finished his talk with Priya, his smile vanished. A dense darkness seemed to swirl around him, lines of ash and smokiness coming from his eyes and the corners of his mouth.
Furious.
It was the only word he could use to describe what he was feeling right now.
There were certain things that there was no coming back from. He knew the core of the love of his life better than maybe he knew even himself.
But just because he knew that he could force Priya to hit rock bottom and then bounce back didn't mean that it was the perfect solution.
Would Priya be fine now? Probably. But it would purely be in a relative sense.
Surely, she would become far more powerful now than before, and much faster at that. She understood her mind and Godsfall progression better than Zarek ever could, and with it, she would improve by leaps and bounds.
Her Growth Potentials were beyond Zarek's own, so it was only natural that she would be quite the powerhouse by the time he returned.
