"Well, rehabilitation was short, too, cause I'm all too well versed in the ways of being beat and forced to recover. So I know a couple of tricks to get back to working order faster than most."
Then he would turn to stare at her as she spoke her thoughts out loud. He shrugged.
"Hell if I know. And hell if I care. I will surpass that man one day, and on that day it will be him crying out in pain when I do unto him the same he did to me after my own defeat."
He said this as he pictured the scene in his head with a smile on his face.

She looked at him and stared with a slight worry. "Your fued with him is between he and you. I will make sure it remains as such even if it costs me my life. My fear is should you decide to grant Death upon the King... I would be unable to refrain my intervention, as future king as well... I feel I'd do the same if the King felt your death left him not but satisfactory... even if I might not be able to act on it. My loyalty is to the King first as you know... Right now your plan is going along with his wishes and so you have my aid as long as you need it. I grow quite... uncertain thinking about such things. I just feel once we reach that day however far off it is I will never be ready to make those choices"
Not far off the military base, there was a monument, one of faded and weathered stone it was well cleaned and cared for regardless, time is a dangerous mistress. "This is one of the biggest pools of bodies. Most still remain only half-buried bone and faded cloth. No one bothered to collect their corpses and by the time all this was built." She motioned to the city behind them. "It was not thought about other than putting up the memorial so that it might calm the souls that can be seen on the hill when the moon is high. I've not seen them myself but even those dull to the senses can feel the unease and the restless."

Drake surveyed the land with his eyes and could see the soul energy here was indeed over powering and strong. So many died here, all at the hands of his father. It was only now that he began to understand just an inkling of his fathers true fearsome power... the sight was more than enough to cut off whatever snippy response he was going to have for Dime.
"Whoa... this place is... intense. I can SEE the dark energy of these tormented souls. It is quite... intense."
While repetitive he couldn't think of any other word to describe what he saw...
"Let's go."
He would say as he led Dime into the dark area. Heading straight for the thickest concentration of spiritual energy.

She wasn't as daunted by the sight of this field as Drake seemed to be. Not only had this been the field that was viewed out a few of her windows in her life she couldn't do not but feel eyes on her and animosity. She followed Drake where he pleased.

Upon finding his way to the most concentrated area of Spiritual energy he would sit.
"This will probably take a moment. If you wouldn't mind, just make sure nothing happens to me."
With that he would dig deep channeling his Qi into his body and he would begin to attempt to pull the spiritual energy around him into himself!

She doubted anything would happen to him all the way out here but since he said to do so she would do it with due diligence. "As you wish." was all she said while she kept her eye on the field as open and barren as it was there would be no way anything would surprise them.

Drake would feel the energy of the territories people. Sacrifice, faith, fear, execution, pain, terror, excitement, entire lives, memories, emotions foreign and controlling. It would take time for him to even be able to distinguish his own emotions and body from the harsh mess mixed in. The only over arching thing this power represented... Death. Hundreds of people not only have given blood willingly, but were also killed in the process of accumulating this energy. No mercy, no quarter. If Drake had ever experienced evil before, or even had a concept of it, this would make that feel like pure humanitarian efforts. He gritted his teeth and hissed in pain fighting to stay in control if his own body and mind!

With the land around her being quiet as it was she watched Drake himself. Would he be showing signs of needing her aid? Or not... she wouldn't be sure. More so what might she be able to do? Suppose she would be able to see when something comes up.

After a few moments everything seemed to calm down. Disappear even... strange. He opened his eyes and looked at his body. Then to Dime.
"I... don't feel any different."

She looked him over when he spoke.
"Ah..." She was honestly not sure what to say. "Unless the King decided to shut your attempt here out...? Or maybe ya need more time to tap into it? Either way... Not sure anything happened regrettably, this place doesn't feel any less creepy anyway."

"Hmm..."
He would get up and look around.
"Well, it was a fair idea. Too bad it didn't pan out."
He would take a start walking towards Dime when he swore he saw someone standing beside him out the corner if his eye, Drake would stop and immediately turn to look to see no one standing there...

She saw him turn about and she looked between him and where he might have been staring. Unsure of what to see she would speak. "Everything alright your highness?"

"I-"
He started as he thought he heard something, a whisper? Multiple whispers? But when he turned back he just saw Dime staring at him quizzically.
"Nothing. Just the wind I guess."
He said despite the lack of any wind.
"Let's go ahead and leave. I don't want my father to discover us here and start asking questions."
