Dead. Alone. Abandoned. Yes, Cole, the Cole I became, is gone. He was done away with, erased, so he could escape. [Anger crept into his tone momentarily. The templar would not forget Cole but Cole couldn't forget him either.]

Assumption...? I look like him. Look like him and that's all. I was a ghost, then I wasn't real. I was a demon, I changed. They thought I was a mage, but no- a spirit.

And what will its help cost? How many lives will this demon later claim? [He didn't like that memory. He wanted to help her too, she had so much pain that she hid so well...]

I became... Less of what I really am, was, that's how I am also human.
