Reaper King

Vale focused on Elias as the man spoke, curious to know why it was such a secret, and why he felt his family couldn't handle this information just yet. However, Vale had learned early on in their relationship that there was a method to his madness. So for now, the brute would keep his questions to himself. He spoke of the demons again and the man couldn't help but flinch. He'd been too distracted to realize that's where their bond originated, their shared demons. As much as Vale was getting from this, souls were the way to please the demons. He'd wondered why the dark creatures inhabiting his mind were so fixated on destroying. They were cruel and bloodthirsty, even when Vale was ready to give in to their desires, they still wanted more. Never satisfied with a simple hunt or creature of prey. His family's traditions were starting to make sense to him now, sounding less like nonsense.

He spoke of their origin and the reasoning behind what his family has done. He'd wait patiently, a rare thing sight for Vale, for Elias to finish before bombarding him with his own questions. "So you want me to bring back souls to satisfy the demons?" Winter was approaching, so if he was going to collect souls, he would need to move fast. There would be no time to heal, Vale knew the demons would want more than just a few souls. "Is there any other plans you had in mind?" Elias seemed to be holding something back from him. The beast wasn't going to wait to hear what Elias had to say, he wanted everything laid out on the table now. Hell, the man had almost died for him and this pack. The least he could give him was his own intentions.

He slid further to the ground, letting all of the excess weight he was carrying be relieved. He wasn't tired, it was simply the pressure of his own weight felt like it was making his injuries worse. He wouldn't admit it, but perhaps Elias was right about needing to heal. At least give himself another day or so before he went running around capturing people. Too much exertion and Elias might not find him in time. It would be a shame to let his own foolishness get in the way of these new duties. It would probably only prove to Elias that Vale couldn't be trusted, which was not what the brute wanted at all. "I'll do what you need of me, I'd just like to be aware of your intentions. Why you chose me to carry these out for you. Not that I don't appreciate the work." In fact, Vale was excited to have something to get him out of his mind, or maybe even the opportunity to learn to control his own demons.
