Dungeons are rather quiet places.

I’ve been given a lot of time to think down here.

After a long period of sleep, it came to me in a dream.

I am not actually crazy.

Why? Hah! Because, there is a perfectly good reason for hearing a second voice in my head.

Russssstle.

Exactly!

Because there’s two souls in this body.

The questions, the constant nagging, the unwillingness to experiment further with fire mana manipulation…

It’s all you!

Russstle. Russstle.

Admit it!

Rustle...

Exactly. I admit, I wouldn’t have figured it out, but you waved those branches one too many times against the wind.

What? There isn’t wind in dungeons?

Ah, you are right, that’s the giant lizard sleeping off to the side.

Rustle.

Don’t pretend you had nothing to do with this situation! I was going to melt those goblins into liquid artwork, but nooooooooooooo.

Someone didn’t want to make waves in the new territory.

Rustle.

Well yes, it is slightly possible something could have gone wrong with my intended use of mana.

Rustle.

What the hell! It isn’t like I’ve been using mana my whole life. We used electricity where I came from.

Russssssssstle?

Bottled lightning, we captured lightning elementals and learned the secrets of forcing them to do our bidding. I mean, that’s basically the closest thing to what we did.

Rusttttttle.

Is that shock and awe I hear?

Ruuuuuuustle.

Well of course, I mean, I could do it. If you really wanted proof.

Rustle.

Let me get this straight, you don’t want me to melt goblin masses into grosteque artwork….

However it’s ok to open a portal to a highly unstable Elemental Plane of Lightning in order to capture and tame one of the denizens there?

Rustle.

What do you mean all we have to do is not wake the lizard and it’s all fine?

Does that sound logical at all?
