(From Demian's Perspective)
It was stupid of me, now I understood. But to be honest, I wanted to feel the power I had. I knew I had more power than Mum and Father realized, or even me. I wanted to feel it all. I wanted to drown in the essence of the power I had.
Azure promised he would help me. He visited me in my dream and said he could help me more than Mum was willing to do.
"Your mother… well, she can help you. She certainly can. But will she?"
"Why won't she?" I had asked.
"Because she thinks you will be too greedy for power. But she doesn't realize that it is only natural for her to let you be greedy. That is what great dark mages do. They are greedy. If you don't have greed, you don't have power."
Somehow what Azure said made sense to me. I was greedy because I had the power to be greedy about. It was not like I was greedy about something I could not have.
