Relaxing

Riza looked at her. "What do you mean?"

"Nothing."

"I'm starting to run out if room...."

"Then stop. You're not getting any closer to making it better again." She hesitated before adding, "I'm sure your sister wouldn't want you to do this to yourself."

Riza stoppe at that. "They villagers told me.......that she screamed she hated me...."

"Death can make you do crazy things, say crazy things, did she hate you before?"

Riza held his head in his hands. "I....I can barely remember."

Maynin put an arm over his shoulders. "Shh, stop talking now, it's alright. I still don't think of you any less."

"That's the problem. I don't even know what to think anymore. Nobody knows what I am. They all call me different things."p

"......I know a person named Riza. He's not a monster, he just thinks he is. He's been wronged time and time again by himself, and he takes it out on others so he can be calm enough to love his family a little longer. Riza tries very hard to redeem himself, but is going about it the wrong way." Maynin looked at him. "Sound about right?"

Riza shook his head.

"Then you tell me how you see it."

"I don't think anything about myself."

"Do you like killing? When your not in bloodlust mode?"

"Sometimes."

"I mean when you're not angry or frustrated or bored. Do you ever think about their families and everything you took away from them?"

"I.....don't know. I don't believe I have." Riza pulled his cloak back on

Maynin struggled to think of a good defence. "Again, do you enjoy it when you're in an okay mood?"

"..........yes."

"And what makes it so fun?"

"I don't know. I get a rush of joy when I feel the life leave their bodies."

Maynin hated bringing up this philosophy, she doubted it anyways, but just to be sure. "Do you think your saving them from what you've seen, so they can stay innocent and be rewarded eternally? Or sending the wicked to pay back for their crime?"

"It feels good. That's all." He said plainly

Ha, now we're getting somewhere! "Then you like the control. The feeling that you can flick your finger and boom, someone's gone, just cause you didn't want them there."

"No. Even before when I could only do hand to hand I enjoyed it.
