"What… what are you going to do with me?"
The Verdant Elder asked, his voice unsure.
He looked at the floating shell with wide, uncertain eyes.
Aksai gave a small smile. It didn't carry cruelty, only calm control.
"I'm turning you into an Aether Wisp," he said.
The Verdant Elder blinked in confusion. Aksai continued, his tone steady.
"Aether Wisps are made from souls like yours. Refined, shaped, and merged with my essence. You won't die. In fact, you'll live on inside me.
We'll grow together. Your power will become part of mine, and you'll still have your thoughts. I'm offering you a chance to avoid destruction. Join me instead of wasting energy on a fight you can't win.
Let me tell you, with or without your consent– I'm turning you into an Aether Wisp. With or without your help, your soul will become a part of my power."
Aksai didn't hold back after gaining full control of the situation.
