[guylining]

we're gonna find out if he's safe, i think that's where i am

he doesn't want me to be afraid
i am afraid, though. i want to still have thorn i'm just

it's hard to reconcile it all, you know? it's hard to reconcile the two of them as one person

[extent]

how separate are they? are thorn and ineroth separate beings, were they always one and the same? how far back does this go?

[guylining]

he said that ineroth shaved thorn away a long time ago

when i first found thorn he was imprisoned and i freed him. he couldn't remember his past, but lots of the captive spirits there were like that. i thought he was one of them

but he wasn't. he was the humanity and goodness that ineroth blocked away
he says he feels like he's both of them but also like he's something new. like a combination of them

[extent]

i think like
no matter how responsible or not you feel like thorn is for ineroth's actions or like vice verse or w/e

there's no uncomplicating this situation, it's messy. it's probably going to be messy for a while
you don't have to know how you feel about it right now, you can take your time. it's okay if its hard, or if youre confused, or even if youre not
theres no playbook for shit like this yknow?

[guylining]

yeah, i know.

i still love him
he's still
like he talks like the person i love
i see thorn in him

i can't walk away from that. he's the demon but that's not all that he is
if there's even one shred of the person i love still in there then i've got to fight for him

[extent]

i thought you'd say that

i love you. whatever you need for that fight, i've got you

[guylining]

i don't know what i need yet

but thank you. i love you too nick

i promise i'm going to stay safe

[extent]

yeah it doesnt sound like something thats going to have answers right away
or easy solutions

you dont have to promise that. especially not here
just like
keep talking to me, no matter whats going on

[guylining]

okay
i will, i promise.

do you want to talk about your 7?

[extent]

oli woke up

[guylining]

when

[extent]

not long ago

its
i dont even know where to start

[guylining]

jesus i should go see him

where is he?

start anywhere, nick

[extent]

home

nate he died. and he got brought back

[guylining]

i thought you said that was highly taboo for your magic

like they wouldn't come back the same

[extent]

yeah. it's basically the worst thing that can happen to a witch

hes still like
i mean its oli. he's still him

[guylining]

he's still oli

but?

[extent]

its not good

he tethered to ragnor. i dont know if that's enough to stop corruption, or how long it'll last, or how to fix it

[guylining]

tethered to him, what does that mean

how is he corrupted, what does it do to him?

[extent]

for us tethering is only really something some witches do w monsters as an amplifier. it's magic sharing more or less, only monsters cant use magic so it's basically just a witch power up
but oli isnt a monster so im pretty sure he's using the power share to stop the corruption spreading. or slowing it.

corruption eats away at a witch until theres nothing left of them. that's how most monsters are made

[guylining]

you're saying if this goes unchecked that's his future

he'll become a monster

[extent]

yeah
there wont be anything left of oli to try and save

[guylining]

so then we have to stop it

do you know how he was resurrected? the spell used?

[extent]

no
but i know it would have been some seriously dark magic. it goes so against how our magic works, even necromancers can't really resurrect witches

[guylining]

i ran a purification ritual on him after that thing with william

do you think that would help?
