"Actually, at the end, it was. We have learned a great deal, much of which is detailed in that briefcase."
Still, he rolled his eyes.
"Not to mention I have always been a separate entity from Varnock since my creation. My being here is no proof at all."
>>20828942Speaking of proof, he offered that smile again.
"Proof? Certainly. I will take us on a stroll down memory lane."
He held a hand out and color began to flash above it as it coalesced into a circular screen showing a view through Essence's eyes.
He looked out from over Varnock's shoulder, currently possessing the man. The pair went into a palace and met with a powerful looking woman, speaking to her for a time. Varnock moved forward and began showing them something in a mirror. Whatever it was, it didn't please the woman in question.
That was when things went badly though. Another being appeared, a smaller girl wearing an eyepatch. Varnock was quickly subdued, Essence being sealed up in his ghostly state before he could even really assist. There was one last attempt at escape before Varnock's power was sealed and then a final bit of conversation. The woman moved towards him and a giant mouth erupted from her, devouring Varnock and quickly spitting out his effects, false arm and Ghost Plate included.
The rest was cut off by Essence. Strange as the memory was, it was still something that they would get a feeling of truth from.
"I will show you no more as it is not business you have decided to be a part of. It would be bad to get you too involved."
