Welcome to Gaia! ::

"If something that could be done to help, I would be willing to try, but I don't wish to burden people with this. However, I would like to travel to the Halls first. There might be something there that could help." At least he was wanting to hope there was. "Is that okay with you?"

"Sometime after breakfast it is then." He smiled and gave a nod. "Thank you for your time. I'd best be off if I know what is good for me. I almost wonder if this corruption is what I really should be worried about being a bigger threat."

"Will do. See you then." He gave a nod and headed to the main hall.

"Well since we've gone to the Halls of Fate I've managed to get my top analysts on the matter. They've had the sample for a while now and with the ideas they've been getting from me, something should be in the works by now. Once Zejx is back to strength we'll have to run a field test with the genuine article, instead of just a sample." Ontaros holds up his hand, it's black all the way up into his wrist, and his pinky finger is missing from it. "You'd be surprised how big of a difference there is between a dormant sample and an active culture."

With a wave of the presented hand he dismisses her concern "It's fine, I took it off and sent it to the research crew, when they're finished I'll put it back..." He thinks a moment before answering her question "To be honest, I'm not sure that there is a way to fully cure his case, simply because it's a part of who he is, it also reacts to his energy, my case, if you will, can certainly be cured, as said before this is simply a dormant sample right now, pretty much starved from a lack of a particular wavelength of energy that Zejx and perhaps even you produce."

With a short sigh Ontaros replies "From the sounds of it the only thing thats holding him back is a conscience. In essence that is what separates good from bad. He knows there is evil in him, and I'm willing to venture that he's committed a few less than noble acts in his time, but due to that singular difference he's not proud of that, even hates those acts and does everything he can to fight against his own nature. Chaos views that as his fatal flaw in Zejx and thus, it is a defect in design that makes him as pure as you feel he is... but know this, deep inside all of us, there is evil, no one is perfectly good, but like wise, no one is perfectly evil either. Without the light there are no shadows..."

Ontaros smiles to Tyera "I'm glad you finally decided to ask, it's been troubling you since we met..." He takes a deep breath and slowly exhales, focusing on something inside of himself. Slowly but surely a deep purple energy with shimmering white sparks and arcs of energy in Ontaros's rough image slowly separates from his body, moving to his right side until it looks like the two figures are holding hands. "This is my 'soul' if you will... well my current one atleast. It's a faux spirit, which is why I said that I would never be able to perform the skills that you and Zejx do."

Ontaros thinks a minute before responding "Well, this collection of arcane energy I use in place of my real soul, so to an extent, I still have one, the difference is, it works with my body, and not against it. Thats how I've lived for as long as I have. I found that the aging process is in a nutshell the corrosion that occurs when soul and body coexist with one another. I have goals and dreams that a normal human couldn't really hope to see through to the end in a single life time. That was a problem I over came. Also, as I grew older along side my true soul, one part of me wanted one thing, the other wanted something else. Thus we went our separate ways, 'Geo' as my other half refers to himself wanted to be closer to the earth and to the elements, turning inward to a degree with his passions, I on the other hand love the feeling of working with the arcane, looking to the multiverse and the vast unknown all around us to find out how things really work, the ebb and flow of the energies around us."
