Kace imdiately felt like an idiot. After several seconds had passed, there was still no response. Just as he about to tell Sonja that it was hopeless, a wave of emotions invaded his mind. Clutching his head, he fell to his knees as his eyes began to cloud over with a red mist.
All he could feel in that mont was the sa anger and grief that he felt during the vision he had been shown. He felt his consciousness being dragged through his mind to a specific area. He was now cut off from what was happening in the room with Sonja. Instead, his body was floating in the darkness of his mind.
He was pulled towards a soft purple glow in the distance. As he drew near to it, he gasped in shock. It was a small floating island. Or to be exact, this island looked like the decimated area the forest had once stood in. Completely devoid of life. Standing there, awaiting his arrival was the tall shadowy figure that was Sylvan.
He was gently put down on the ground on his own two feet and looked around in wonder. 'It's such a dark place. No wonder it feels the way it does if it's constantly reminded of these things.' Kace felt pity for Sylvan and even hoped there would be sothing he could do to help it recover at least a little bit.
"Not 'it', 'he'." The nacing voice of Sylvan spoke to him.
Kace was taken aback until he rembered that Sylvan could communicate ntally. 'Damn! My thoughts will never be private again!' He inwardly complained. That ant he would not be able to keep anything from Sylvan at all.
"Your thoughts are irrelevant. I don't really care as long as you fulfil our purpose." Sylvan growled, making his stance very clear on the matter. "Why do you disturb ?"
"I was hoping you could tell what it is exactly you expect of ?" Kace replied while watching for any hostile movents.
"You should already know," Sylvan replied while gesturing towards the wasteland. "Eradicate the ones who did this. Make them feel our pain."
"The ones who did this are most likely already dead," Kace replied calmly while looking at the barren wasteland. "I'm not sure what else I can do."
"Foolish. They wiped out our races. So their entire race is our target. So many of our young were slaughtered. Their futures were stolen. They will never grace this land again." Sylvan replied with a sorrowful growl. "I have felt your own pain. You want them to disappear too, do you not?"
Kace thought about this for so ti. It was true that he had to remove the Heroes presence from his new world. It was also confird that he had no qualms about killing those that got in his way or if it were necessary. However, what Sylvan was asking went far beyond that. He was about to answer when the sound of a bell went off in his mind. It signalled a new system notification which was a first for him. Usually, it would just give him a notice in the corner of his eye. Feeling curious, he decided to check it out.
