The Darkness Within

Van: it's been saying that i can never be a hero. i'm too destructive, too deadly

*Anty notes this*

Anty: So the voice is telling you that you can't be a hero? And what do you think?

Van: i'm trying to prove it wrong but....this isn't the first time it's tried to take over....and last time i caused so much destruction...i cant help but think it's right

*Anty notes this*

Anty: In the short term I can give you a potion to help control the voice. However you need to remember
that this is your mind and your power. Nothing has the right to take that from you.

Van: ....that's just it anty. this voice IS what gave me my powers. it's an entity of darkness

*Anty looks seriously at Van*

Anty: That is EXACTLY what Perfect Platinum told Wondervixen and she believed it. In reality the opposite was
true.

Van: it wasn't telling me that though anty. this thing in me.....i couldn't use my powers before it came. i know this is my own mind but the voice gave me my powers......it's been with me since i was 13

*Anty looks at the potion*

Anty: This is worrying- so potentially this potion could make you powerless. In that case I would only use
a small amount and focus as you do so. Inevitably you will be weakened but we can't allow this
voice to gain more influence.

Van: *takes the potion* thanks anty.

Anty: You're welcome Van. Now remember- the potion alone won't do it. You must stay strong.
