"Zariah..." King Askel said in disbelief, taking a hold of Zariah's hand.
That touch spoke a thousand words that Askel would not be able to get out in that short duration of time.
The familiar sparks at Askel's touch had Zariah's will faltering for just a moment but Zariah was quick to remind herself that this was what she had to do.
Zariah had thought about it a thousand times...no, a million times and the only way she could see out of this was taking control of the game herself.
The mastermind was in the shadows and Zariah was in the open, it was impossible to overcome what one did not even know.
Zariah had to change the dynamics, and to level the playing field, she needed to take control of the game...to step into that darkness for herself.
"Askel, this is the right thing to do..." Zariah paused in hesitation, the next words she was going to say were stuck in her throat.
