[QUOTE="Badger, post: 1850623, member: 7252"] Digger's head turned to face the warm blood who spoke to him as in the tone he had come to expect from the world around him. Digger's voice seemed oddly distant as he spoke, as his mind's eye recalled the moment of his awareness. [color=green]'While it is true that my kind were created to be nothing more than tireless pawns for those who waged war, I am not sure what purpose those who shaped this shell I wear had in mind for me. I am only aware of what Bataner's purpose was for me. I was a digger of graves for him and I completed that task when it was required. That was my world until the day the world began to move on and I moved with it.'[/color] Digger's eyes locked onto Sorren's as he spoke and his tone, flat and emotionless up to this point, grew hard and flinty. [color=green]'I chose the path I walk. There was no absent god's hand guiding my creation, no wind of fate blowing across my face as my eyes opened, there was only death to greet me. However, I do not fault death for being death, as it was death that gave me the desire to find life and grasp the joy in the art of creation that proves my existance.'[/color] [color=green]'It was hired because as it learned from death, it became aware of how life and magic are tied together in bonds that can be harnessed and captured if it only focused its will to do so.

While he did not understand why the one called Sorren could not see him as anything than another tool to be used vice who he was, or rather trying to become, he knew that this blindness was making him feel slightly agitated and it was another feeling he was not prepared for.
