Across Eternity: Book 5 - Chapter 4

... please, have a little faith in me.”

“I do have faith in you, but if the spirits start giving you instructions, you have to ignore them.”

“An elf telling me to turn my back on the spirits! What is this world coming to?”

Valia enjoyed a much-needed laugh. “Just promise me you won’t seduce her or try anything.”

“I can only promise that I won’t intentionally do anything to make her fall in love with me, but I can’t help it if I’m naturally charming. If she starts pining for me, it’s your fault.”

“Ugh, what am I going to do with you?” she sighed. “I was surprised today, seeing how open you were with the prince about your abilities. I thought you were all about secrecy.”

“With the addition of my guns, I now have enough of a spell arsenal that I don’t need to be so stingy about using magic. Until recently, all I had were invisibility and my clone, and I was forced to use them carefully, but now I can keep them in reserve as a trump card. But it’s more than that. I realized something in Sylphtoria: I no longer need to hide myself, to pretend to be just another guy.

“From now on, you’re my assistant, and you’re going to be helping me here.”

“What would you have me do, sir?” she asked, wringing her hands.

“First, I would have you relax. You needn’t be so nervous.”

“Excuse me?”

“You’re shaking like a leaf. What is it that’s making you so uncomfortable?”

“Is… is everything you told the prince true?”

“It is. Do I intimidate you?”

“You said you’ve done the same things as the Profane, the things that made my father what he was. After learning what you are, what you’ve done, what am I supposed to feel after hearing that? How can I trust you?”

“It’s true, I’ve ruined and ended countless lives, but so too have I devoted entire lifetimes to altruism, from curing diseases to ending wars, and saved numerous planets from meteors, dictators, and all manner of doom. That’s what I’m doing here. My past is my own, same with my experiences and knowledge, and right now I’m using them to fight the Profane.

Look, you don’t have to trust me, you don’t have to like me, you don’t even have to stay here. You are ...
