[Hermes]

Again, I have more...control over this than you think. Asura there would probably hate me if she knew anything of my true nature~

He thought back to the young girl, scared, being attacked. He thought of the sword in his back, the arrows in his arm, the spear being dug into his side. He remembered burning 102 men alive that day, 3 women. He remembered that that one had to survive, the child, she had to live. He looked at this woman now, and saw someone so different from all of the children he had saved. He thought back to her from his before, and what had happened between them. He remembered even then, he had thought of the girl at the village, after killing 105 people with no regard, and how he had had to protect her. He remembered then meeting this woman later, in her Before, at the moment his ended.

He shook his head, cutting the reminiscence, and released her.
