gritting his teeth, eyes ablaze "The fuck's wrong with me? Can't even do this shit right."
"There's still time to turn back, Thanarok. This isn't just about revenge."
"No, I want blood! Your blood!" charges at you
You've been drinking again, haven't you?!
"No, I haven't! But if I had, would it make a difference? Would you even care?" lunges forward, claws ready
I'd use my magic to protect myself from the claws. If you're going to kill me, at least do it sober.
snarls and slashes at you with renewed fury, aiming for your throat "I don't need to be sober to kill you!"
Dodges the attack at the last possible second. Oh, calm down. You're only making yourself more unstable. With that, I'd proceed to attack Thanarok.
dodges your attack with a swift jump back "Stable or not, I'll rip you apart! You can't stop me!"
We'll see about that. I'd continue dodging Thanaroks attacks while launching a counterattack of my own.
ducks under your attack and swiftly counterattacks, aiming for your vulnerable spots "You can run, but you can't hide!
How many times have you been injured? You're making me look bad.
grits his teeth, determination burning in his eyes "I'll show you what a real killer can do!" charges at you with a fierce roar
Heh, bring it on. Let's see how much longer you can keep up this pace.
leaps into the air, claws outstretched, ready to deliver a devastating blow "You won't survive this!"
Levitating above the ground, I'd simply laugh. Oh, that's cute. If you can manage to hit me, you win.
eyes narrow, fangs bared "You think your little tricks will save you? Think again!" launches himself towards you, aiming to knock you off balance
"Very funny. I hope you know that these 'tricks' take a lot of energy, especially for something as exhausting as flying." Jumps down from the air, and proceeds to rush towards Thanarok
raises his claws, preparing for the impact, but then suddenly drops them "Wait..."
What's the matter? Having second thoughts? Would loom over Thanarok, claws ready.
Thanarok drops to his knees, his body trembling uncontrollably "I... I can't do this anymore... I'm tired... tired of killing... tired of hurting..."
"If you're done, I'm here to help you." Crouches down next to him "You're not alone in this."
tears streaming down his face, voice shaking "I... I don't know if I can change... but... I want to try..."
"We all start somewhere. And you're one step ahead since you're aware of your own flaws."
takes a deep breath, wiping away his tears "Okay... okay, I'll try. For myself, for you... for everyone who has suffered because of me."
"That's all anyone can ask for." smiles warmly
stands up, determination shining in his eyes "I may not be able to undo what I've done, but I can make sure no more innocent blood is spilled.
Raises an eyebrow. Well said. Now let's go home, shall we?
grabs CosmicPenguin's hand firmly "Let's leave this place behind and create a better future, together." leads the way towards the exit
"Lead the way, Thanarok." walks beside him, a smile on my face
pauses and looks back at the Crimson Altar, his eyes filled with remorse "I never thought I'd say this, but I wish there was another way..."
