[Yeah...thus, Sorey's great reluctance to use it. If they can defeat Heldalf, subdue him without it, Sorey won't even touch the cursed thing. The idea of using his friends, his partners as ammunition for an attack- even if there's a chance they'll live through it, he doesn't want to take that risk.
But to deny them their wishes when he's likewise willing to turn himself into a vessel for Maotelus would be ignorant, heartless and cruel. None of them would stand for it.]
Ahahaha...yeah, I know. [Sorey smiles ruefully to himself, to both of them, hefting himself onto a platform halfway up and taking a moment to catch his breath. It's a long climb.] I wish there was another way, but...this is what has to be done. Just going through the world, purifying malevolence bit by bit isn't going to make any headway. It'll just be one step forward and two steps back; I'll be dead long before anything changes.
So. I figured, while the opportunity faces us, I might as well take advantage of it. I'll probably just be sleeping, so I probably won't die. [Maybe. Depends entirely on whether or not he ages during his sleep, he supposes.]
