"Something was taken from him", that was the first thought that crossed Asher's mind when he awoke. As someone who had a compulsion ability, he knew the sensation of brainwashing and being brainwashed.
Right now, he was brainwashed but differently, it was done in a unique way distinct from his method. Asher tried to think of the memory that could be taken from him but what he received was a splitting headache that elicited a groan of pain from his mouth.
Gosh, that particular memory was being suppressed and the more he tried to recall the more he hurt himself.
Of course, he wasn't a fool to believe he was the only one with the ability to compel people but there lived a specific group of beings who didn't need an ability to perform one - witches.
