Welcome to Gaia! ::

Demitri flinched, realizing now he had almost all of his strength replenished. "I-I'm sorry! I thought I was relaxing!" he said, frightened of the man's anger and what he was going to do to him. He knew JJ was trying to find the link to whoever possessed him, even if Demitri didn't know what exactly that meant it sounded important. He saw JJ's hands hover above him once more and smacked them away quickly. "Wait!!!" he cried, it was almost as if his body had moved without consulting his brain first; Demitri sat there on the table for a moment or two a bit dumbfounded at what he had just done. "W-wait a minute...if you prevent another possession from happening then you may not get a chance to find that link again! If they possess me again maybe that link will be stronger and last a little longer!" he said rather quickly in an attempt to explain himself to the great sorcerer before the man had a chance to punish him for smacking his hands away.

Demitri trembled as JJ shook him. "Your hurting me!" he cried, daring not to move as he was thrown back onto the table. The older man was right though, if what he said was true about how he got the wound on his arm then perhaps he was in more danger than he thought. He tried to clear his mind so JJ could place the wards as instructed but that task was easier said than done. Demitri wasn't sure he was ever going to be able to get used to JJ's anger, he was terrifying when he wasn't watching his back.

Demitri sat up on the table when it appeared the man was finished with him. "What? But that's not fair!" he protested as he hopped off of the table and stood in front of JJ. "I can help catch them, we could find and beat them together!" he said, trying to find some way he could be useful even if he wasn't a great sorcerer like the older man was. "What do you think they want with us anyway?" he asked, still not fully understanding what had happened.

Every fiber in Demitri wanted to protest but there was no arguing the facts which sided in JJ's favor. To face necromancers would be suicide at this point. "I can't just sit and let you fight them alone." he said softly, wondering if even his own thoughts were safe. How much of his memories and thoughts did the necromancers see when they possessed him? "Please...can I come with you to see the King? I promise I'll be quiet. I just don't want to be alone tonight. If my own mind isn't even safe, nowhere is." He said softly, scared of what might happen if he were left unattended or if he fell asleep once more.

Demitri flinched when he felt JJ's hand grabbing his arm tightly, he wanted to cry in pain or at least punch the man for being so vengeful all the time. But he knew both of those actions would get him nowhere. Still trembling a little, he tentatively followed the sorcerer out of the lab, stopping just after the door when he heard JJ speak once more. "You know....you don't have to be so angry all the time. I know you have to be tough because of whats out there, and because of what you've seen. But you don't have to treat people like this." he said softly, the lump in his throat threatening to show more weakness than Demitri wanted right now. "You hurt me so you can exert some form of control over me. It's working, I won't lie. But you can't treat people like this." Demitri tried to say more but the lump in his throat was starting to impact his speech. He hung his head, one hand on his arm where JJ grabbed so fiercely; the boy grew quiet and avoided the sorcerer's gaze, all he wanted was to go back to his room and stay there for the rest of his days.

Demitri clenched his fists, he could still punch the man for being such an a**. "For a powerful sorcerer you're pretty stupid." he mumbled to the man before heading toward the castle. He hated the man for being so cruel and promised himself to only get stronger just so he could show the man how much he was hurting him, even if that only meant whipping the man more than he had been in his life. Demitri got back to his bedroom and groaned loudly as he slammed the door. He saw the few books that were on his bed neatly but the last thing he wanted to do was read. Demitri took each book and threw them against the walls before he subjected himself to a corner where he sat down and tried to calm himself. He knew what happened if his emotions got out of hand. After a few minutes of deep breathing, Demitri picked up the book that was closest to him and decided to read after all.

Demitri heard the man's voice at his door, knowing he had been gone for so long with talking to the King, Demitri thought it important for him to try his hardest to not fight with the great Sorcerer. He quickly got up from his corner, almost all three books had been read but he understood the gist of it. Demitri opened the door and stood in the doorway for a moment upon seeing JJ's expression. "Is everything okay?" he asked softly, he knew something was up with him. JJ seemed more on edge now than ever before.

Demitri nodded and followed JJ, apparently the necromancers were just this powerful. He hated feeling useless but what could he do but continue to train hard? Maybe if he got the hang of things he would help JJ with his search and conquering of the necromancers. "How can we find the nest though? I'm sure they've got it pretty well hidden from us. Isn't there some sort of magical object that could find it or some spell we could work?" he asked curiously in his attempt to at least help JJ think of ways they could find the nest soon. He knew that the sooner they found the nest the faster they could eradicate them all before the necromancers could reach the village. "And what if a few of them are at the village? They could be hurting people as we speak, we should go around checking the village just to be sure!"
