"Why.... what's happening to me?" Kuda managed to stammer.
"Something must have affected me while I was investigating the ruins. I feel as though there is a fire burning within my chest. I want... to... rip you apart..." His eyes suddenly fixed on you, bloodshot and glazed.
"No! I am the Sprite King's agent! I will not be corrupted! I will never become a monster!"
"%c%, please use the psychic crystal next to me to teleport into the ruins, then destroy any strange pillars you see. I believe the evil energy inside me is coming from those pillars!"
"Hurry, before I lose control and slaughter you all!" Kuda spat, his entire body quivering.
