Drake held his chin as he pondered for a moment.
"Honestly... I don't know. Just... something, anything, that might help us finally find an end to this Blight once and for all. So, I figured the best place to start looking is how it began."

"And what makes you think the Blight will end with anything short of the final destruction of humanity?"

"I don't know. But if we sit here doing nothing then that result is inevitable! I'd rather die on my feet than live my life on my knees."
He would say with a fire in his eyes and heart he hadn't had before. For the first time in his life he was fighting for a purpose. Not just for himself.

"A nice sentiment, but the world doesn't always work that way. Not everything can be fought. One can not punch time for instance."

Drake was getting frustrated now.
"So what would you do then? Sit here doing nothing but stare into the horizon until you die?! But to try something than nothing."

"You are letting your desperation steer you. Desperation because of the Blight running through your veins now, desperate to cling to life? Or desperate to return home to your world?"

He was caught off guard by that statement.
"You... you know I'm not from here? How?"

He tapped his nose.
"You reek of the light."

Drake just stated in silence for a moment. He was unsure how he felt now. I mean. He knew he wasn't crazy. But... what the hell.
"So, you know the truth, you don't think I'm just delusional because of the Blight?"

Drake shrugged. That made sense. Drake was the only one here who hadn't lived with this before everyone else had. Sigh...
"If I'm being honest... I'm desperate because the being that sent me her also showed me a vision of me trying and failing to stop the Blight multiple times, and in each vision, whether I was cured of, or consumed by the Blight everyone died. Only the Blight remained."
He looked over the horizon.
"I refuse to let that happen again."

"In this vision one thing was constant out of all the changing scenarios. A pile of corpses with a green flower blooming on top of it and a green fog using out of the pile. All of our bodies were in or around that pile. At least, I know for a fact I saw mine and Melody's. The reason I know they are memories is because one of then the Blight consumed me and turned me into a monster. I ripped Melody's body apart with my hand and her throat with my teeth. And even though I was only a spectator watching all these memories pass by I was still covered in her blood."

"And in these scenarios did you try to stop the Blight? In these possible outcomes, or past outcomes?"

"Not in all of them, I think..."
He said as he thought back to the vision.
"In... well that is... one of the memories I stay here. Get cured merry Melody... only to watch her and our unborn child to be murdered by the Blight."
He said blushing. He didn't have those feeling for her, but it was still embarrassing to say out loud...
"So, either way it looks like fighting and not fighting lead to death..."
