Kael did not dispute Hakon's words. On the contrary, he agreed with him. He admitted that he was far from being enough.
That's why he wanted more. Much more. And that's what he was striving for. That was why he was here.
He opened his mouth to say something, but Hakon cut him off and continued.
"But you can do more than simply work for the Empire, Kael."
"Excuse me?"
"Why be a dog of the Empire when you can be its wolf, perhaps an even more powerful beast, Kael? I'm telling you that you have potential, real potential. Believe it or not, using eon is not easy. No one can learn to use eon on their own, no matter how your curse helps you."
His irises turned blood red again, and Kael felt the room grow cold once more. But that was not all. This time... the red energy that had surrounded Hakon suddenly leaped at him. And it was only then that Kael realized how warm it actually was. This time it wasn't as intense and negative as before, it was much more... open. Positive, even.
