To be able to withstand Azrael's powers...
Rapping my fingers against the arm chair in an attempt to dispel some of the nervous energy that has come to linger in my limbs, I let myself wonder on that statement for a moment. As of yet, I have not anyone (disregarding myself) who has the mental capacity to withstand Azrael's mind tricks and illusions. There is nothing particularly vexing about how people are able to withstand his powers, in fact it is rather simple. It relies simply on ones own strength of mind, their ability to be in control of their own thoughts and the sheer resilience of their being. Hundreds of years of bloodlust, war, and isolation have taught me a thing or two about that.
I always feared that Serena would succumb to them without her necklace, that Azrael would find a way to break and torture her just like he would any other mind slave of his and yet…
