With a line set between his lips Azothrogal reached up and gently stroked the young girl's hair. "Do not fear child, it shall soon pass." With another gentle brush he smiled weakly and did the best a being of pure evil could do to calm a frightened girl down. "Shhhh it is almost over, it is but Epiales rooting his power through your body." He crouched closer to the young girl and began to explain things to the girl so she could get the run down of what was happening to her body and mind.

"The demon Epiales is now within you. With him you shall be stronger than ever. He is old an ancient and has knowledge that spans back for eons. With the power of the demon coursing through your body you will be able to achieve great things. Epiales is not there to hurt you child. He is there to help you take your life back." Wiping her tears from her face gently the demon bathed in her fear and hatred. It tasted so amazing... Azothrogal longed to feel it more, to feel her sorrow and feed upon it. But there was work to be done, he had to get her going down a darker path. "Who did this to you?" He asked her in a soft voice as he pretended to care

Kairi was frozen for a few moments, her body shivering at the touch of the foul demon. She was so confused, how had this all happened so quickly? "It...it was my father." she gasped out to the demon, her eyes focused on him like prey on a predator. "All I wanted was for him to accept me, to love me for who I am. I tried everything, I changed everything and he still hated me just for being born!" the tears were flowing quicker now as a flurry of hatred and sadness overtook her.

"He's a monster, a tyrant and I hate him!" the girl was screaming now, not at the demon or even to herself but to her father miles away on the near opposite side of Atrisia.

Azothrogal felt her hatred wash over him in waves of hate and disgust. It felt damn good and he could sense that she would be an excellent choice for Epiales. She was gifted in her hatred, it had been thrusted into her since she was but a baby. The hate of her father, and the hate she grew in return. "He never thought you good enough. Simply because of the way you were born." He said as he brushed her hair with one hand gently and with the other continued to wipe hot tears from her face. "But now, you are stronger than him. You are more strong than he could ever imagine to be child." Pressing her close to him he embraced the small girl in a cold but reassuring hug.

"You are no monster Kairi. You are now judge, jury, and if need be executioner. Your father deserves to suffer for what he did to you. What is your wish?" He said in a very low tone of voice that suggested she take back her spine from that man. He wanted her to stain her hands in the blood of those who hurt her

"I...I don't know what I want" the girl admitted, her had dropping to the floor. Did she really want to kill her father? She hated the man but...could she take his life? She shook her head, reluctantly accepting the cold embrace of the man before her. Was he even a man? He didn't feel like a man...didn't sound like a man...he didn't even seem alive really. He was a monster wasn't he? That was the only explanation, he had to be some kind of monster.

I am dreaming, this is all just a nightmare

"This is no nightmare, girl" sang a voice from inside her, the same voice that spoke for the eye. "Your father, he is a strict man...is he not? Always keeping you from seeing your brother, my oh my such a sad life." the voice chimed in its omnipotent manner. Kairi wanted to say something, but she was too afraid. She knew the voice wasn't coming from outside her body, she knew it had to be coming from inside her own head and she was petrified to think about it.

"Don't you want to see your brother? To meet him? To hold your mother?" the voice cackled, "your father is a monster after all" suddenly memories of her father came flooding back...but they were nothing like before. In each memory her father appeared to her as a grotesque being with no eyes and many dark tentacles stretching out from his back. He had long drooping fangs and arms that stretched to the ground. What was going on? This..this couldn't be the father she knew? Or was it? She didn't know anymore.

"Stop! No! That isn't...or is it! Oh by the Force!" the girl screamed out again, burrowing her face into the chest of the man who had freed her from captivity.

"You must slay your father! Look upon him, he is a monster! You must save your family!" the deceitful voice sang again, continuing to shove memory after memory into her face.

"Save them? My father...he'll hurt the rest of my family to! He-he is a monster!"

"Yes, yes! A monster! A dreadful monster! We must be rid of him!"

Azothrogal smiled silently as he held the girl to him, he could sense Epiales tempting the girl. Telling her to do the right thing, he couldn't hear what was going on in her head but he knew he had her on a hook. He could only hear the words that she uttered to herself as Epiales spoke to her. And he knew the exact words to say to her, Epiales had hit the right spot and it was something Azothrogal couldn't help but exploit. "Yes Kairi, your father wants to kill you for knowing his true form. And once you're gone, he will have your way with your mother, your brother." And to seal the nails on the coffin that was Kairi's soul the demon brought it home with a crescendo.

"And you're unborn sister he know a not of yet." He let the weight of his words sink in and the Demon's mouth split open in a wide grin that she could not see to reveal rows of jagged fangs and teeth that glinted in the darkness. Bringing up a hand he gently stroked the back of her head and he spoke two words in a whisper to her "Kill Him." And those words with the slightest effort of the force echoed through the walls of the dungeon. "Kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him." They subtly whispered as they engulfed the young girl. "I will show you how." He whispered shortly after in a low evil and unsettling tone.

He would have her soul, her loyalty for the cause. She did not know it yet but she would become good friends with her demon, and she would fall from a girl protecting her family, to a collaborator with a demon. She would become a murderer and a killer

"Yes, do it Kairi..let us show you!" Epiales shouted, shoving its own form into the forefront of the young Atrisian's mind. Its massive eye invaded every crevice of her mind spreading the fear of her father to every lost memory and fond dream. "For them to live, he must die!" the eye demanded of its host, leaving no room for question or doubt or love...only fear. Fear of loss, fear of death, fear of inaction! It was wonderful and it exposed the demon to even more of her stored memories, all of which he exploited to their full potential.

The girl shook in the arms of the demon, her mind corrupted with the false images Epiales had placed before her. She was no more convinced than she was before, but fear had clouded her judgement. "Tell me how!" she suddenly blurted to Azothrogal, "Tell me how to save my family! My-my sister! Tell me how to save them all!" she didn't bother asking how the demon could possibly know if there truly was a sister or not, but with her very mind invaded it was hard to think completely for herself.

Hook, line, and sinker. Azothrogal let go of the child and looked down to her with a line set in his face. He gave her a single nod then spoke. "Follow me child, I shall show you." Turning around the demon snickered silently to himself and began to walk towards the open door. He would show her the extent of her new powers. How to guide them and control them, how to get stronger using the dark side of the force to feed from the suffering and fear of others. "You can save many lives child, with this gift you can become that of legend!" The demon opened the door for the young girl for a second before making his way towards the stairs. They were in the dungeon and if was important for them to get to the throne room where they shall strike down the man who treated her like human garbage. Her first unknowing act down the dark path.

"You are no longer weak child! Get on your feet! You are strong, you are a savior." The man smiled and brought his hood over his face which was soon covered in a veil of the force to form a shadowy skull that covered his face in mist. Evil radiated from him in it's purest form, it was not an evil that had fallen from the light. A lost soul that had fallen, no this was beyond that. This was an evil that was born into this galaxy from the start.

Voices could be heated from the top of the stairs and from above it seemed that the next batch of guards were coming to relieve the dead men whose corpses lay splattered on the floor. "There is not much time child." He said with almost sense of urgency
