Marcus felt a chill with Daniel's declaration. I bet it did, lad. He thought worriedly. "Daniel..." He began, then shook his head. "Never mind."
"What?" Daniel asked, confused.
"You are a good person, Daniel. Don't let this war destroy you." That sword...he was almost certain now that it was taking control over Daniel. Somehow, he had to get rid of it before the boy was lost. He had to think of a way to make the sword vanish without Daniel suspecting him.
Perhaps late at night...
Daniel had decided to go out to get some air. The inactivity for the past few days was getting on his nerves. He wanted to get out there and fight Balthus. Even the practise drills that Marcus gave him wasn't keeping him satisfied. He wanted to feel cold steel slice through skin and bone.
This sword was meant for fighting; not attacking wooden targets. He had pretended to be content so no one worried about him, but if they didn't move on soon, he would move out on his own. Balthus had to be stopped.
Footsteps sounded behind him, and he automatically drew his sword. He swung around, sword raised...
Robin stared at him wide-eyed, her face stark white. "Danny..." She whispered.
