"Watch out! Stay behind me!"
Can't I just have a little privacy!!?!
"Privacy? We’re out here fighting dangerous creatures! Don’t even think about it!"
No no... thinking on something... Just wait a second!!!
I can handle myself now!!
"Like hell you can! There's more of those things lurking around. You think you can handle them? Fine, but don't come crying to me when you need help!"
sighs flames surround my body
eyes widen What the hell?! How did you do that?!
I guess... I have all that pent up anger to let out!!!
"You've been holding back all this time?! And you didn't tell me?!"
It's better to work out your problems yourself then to bring someone else down with you!!!
"That's a load of bullshit! Holding it all in will only make things worse! You need to learn to trust others!"
No!!! People will only end up hurting me...I know too well
"Hurt you?! I'm not like those other idiots! I would never hurt you!"
No one does at first... but I'll get there eventually
"You won't get far if you keep pushing everyone away! If you want help, then open up to me!"
I am trying to protect you by keeping my distance!!!
"Protect me?! I can take care of myself! You don't need to hold back because of me!"
turns into my wolf form quickly and swallows a whole shadow beast
watch in disbelief Holy shit! Did you just swallow that thing whole?!
Sure did.... Oh yeah... remember this summons a chainsaw and slices through multiple beasts at once
jaw drops H-How did you learn how to do that?!
It seems like working out is helping a bit after all... But still no thanks reverts back to my human form
"Hey! I'm still trying to process what just happened! You've got powers that could take down entire hordes of those things! Why didn't you tell me before?!"
Because people end up scared, distrustful, or try to use us for their own needs!
"Not everyone is like that! I wouldn't use your powers for my own gain! In fact, I'd risk my life to protect yours!"
That's what everyone says at first... and look where that gets us. Burned, betrayed, beaten, broken
"Don't compare me to those other idiots! I'm not like them! I would never betray you like that!"
No one does at first!!!! They always say they would die for you... until they stab you in the back!!!
"I swear on my life, I will never betray you! If I ever break my promise, you can kick my ass yourself!"
"Fine, I'll prove it to you right now! I'll show you just how committed I am to protecting you!"
