>>6019811>>6019807Williams' entire body tenses as terror courses through his body remembering the crack of his skull, the blinding pain of his brain leaking out, the burning stinging pain in his head from regeneration, the pulsing pain and emotions as his life flashed before his eyes in that dark alleyway.
>DC fear checks: Animus mook, Samurai armor, Lora, The Chained One, Holly. Passed.>Not failing a single fear check. Passed.His soul slowly cracked from the pressure and fear wavering from splitting into pieces at a moment's notice. Only for his soul to scream out in defiance as William’s magic surges bringing a burning sensation across all of his skin. Clenching his fists as he shuts his eyes and remembers he survived worse, death, and terror of fighting everyday. Always afraid of a random mage walking into him, being executed by Animus, or converted by Prisma by saying the wrong words. All pales in comparison to the Arbiter. Memories of dozens of agents facing the worst the world can offer from disintegration, fireball, napalm, charm, dominate, fear, torture, revivify fill his head that things can always be worse.
Remembering first meeting her and witnessing her alien visage. A neck too inhumanly long and thin as if it was stretched out as it shrank in width to gain more height. The pale soulless eyes gazed at him with disgust and curiosity as her hair looked more ethereal than physical as magic glimmered in her hair. Light shining from her pale skin looked more like polished marble than anything flesh like. Knowing he can’t close his eyes forever, William wills his soul to gaze at his fear as the burning sensation intensifies and is sucked into his head. Burning his soul in magic as his vision flashes red and green for a moment only to feel his soul somehow become more whole and solid.
Opening his eyes to see the world and Holly in a new light. Gone is the alien look of before that inspires fear to all who dare to look at her face and replaced with a more normal looking mage still the same soulless eyes of before but holding a more dangerous smile instead. Dressed in a normal nun outfit with bits of black and white hair on her head instead of the ethereal mess that was once there before. With her head shining a bit under the noon’s light as her hand holds an hourglass necklace as she stares into William’s gaze.
>Face the Fear, Break the cycle. 5/5. Boon completed. Immune to all types of Fear, Intimidation, and Arbiter auras.“Hey William did ya miss me?”
“I did want to meet with you as soon as possible to get to know you as you didn't melt my face off.”
“Uha, hhuh? But yeah mage men are always violent to others and make a mess of things. Here in Prisma we try to make sure all our recruits are welcomed and helped to the best of our ability so they can find their true selves.” Says Holly as she shakes off a spell pulsing in her hand.
