[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Silence prevaded the campsite, as Ventus just stared at Shiva. Then, he just sadly smiled at her, and let out low, deep chuckle, bitterly amused at what she stated. "Shiva...I'm not as wretched as those Ranger back in Unovian," he said, leaning into close to her, before saying : "I'm far, far worse than them. I was not always this generous as I am now. I had to work hard to become a better person, but you could say that old habits die hard," he said, before turning his back on both Shiva and Nathan, and looked up into the starey night sky, a thoughtful look on his face.

"That is a story I do not wish to tell, though. Not now. What you wish to argue is far more pertinent to this situation, anyway. You try to guilt me about my choice, and argue for me to let nature do what it does best. The problem with the first of your argument is flawed: you think I capable for feeling even a scrap of remorse for that beast[/]. Shiva...I don't think that monster deserves to live [i]at all. The thing nearly killed Kirlia, caused Nathan to have a massive panic attack, and who know what else it did before it meet us. Hearing you call such a nasty beast noble...that was a genuinely funny statement you made there. Do you honestly, honestly believe that fighting for your life, struggling with all your might, and do whatever it takes to remain powerful is courageous or valiant? It isn't. That beast is just another vicious creature that fought so desperately hard to live, only to now find that it bite off more than it could chew this time."

Turning his head away from the stars, he stared Shiva directly in the eyes, and the look in them was haunting. "It would bring me no greater pleasure than to find wherever that Rattatta is, and snuff the very essence of life from it, before leaving it to rot. I could leave it to chance that nature will do its job, but do that when I can ensure the outcome myself? I'm going to find out where its resting, licking its wounds, and then I will do unto it what it did to Nathan and Kirlia a thousand fold. Nothing harms my friend, and gets away with it. No one. If you wish to follow me and watch as I take that miserable creature's life, I will not stop you. I ask that you reconsider, as I dearly wish you do not witness what I will do. The choice is your, in the end. Decide."

With that, he calmly walked away from her, and began to track down that Rattatta, with Apsis warily staring down both Shiva and Nathan, before following after him. She doesn't get why those friends of his are fighting so hard on this! That Rattatta nearly killed them, so its only right they get payback!

(Oh, Phantom, that was the exactly wrong thing to say to him. Now he back to wanting to kill Rattatta without remorse, and nothing will stop him this time. Oh no....)
