You know I still like you the most
The best of the best
After he'd thought of the idea, he hadn't been able to let go of it. Jigano had told him that the monsters that trawled the streets at Longnight were once Ascended, and he did not know the bard to lie. The idea had stuck with him - people just like him, trapped now in the bodies of monsters, crawling and groaning down the streets. Did they still think? Still wonder why no one stopped to speak?
He had always been terrified of the monsters but now he felt an odd kind of kinship with them. Perhaps if he tried to show them who he was, what he was, he could make a connection with them.
Of course, he couldn't do it alone.
His initial thought had been to invite Wessex, but he immediately decided against it. For some reason he feared that she might disapprove of what it was admittedly a rather ill-thought out plan. This was the kind of thing he could impress her with later, but would rather not have to ask permission for.
No, he would inviteRexanna. She believed in him and more than that, she was strong. Sam knew if this was going to work they needed as many Ascended as they could gather, so he asked for her, in the note he sent before Longnight, to bring Bastien too. They would meet in the settlement, as close to the Temple as they could be to make the trip over easier.
Just three of them didn't feel very smart, though. He had been anxious to approach Remi, but the man was the strongest person he knew and one of the loyalest. Ironic, given he'd asked the Alchemist to stay safe himself only a few days prior, but he had to try this while the monsters were there - they could potentially bring back corrupted Ascended, get answers about the past and their futures.
His plan was something like this: He would use his barrier, the electric shock it gave, to stun the monster - hopefully Rexanna and Bastien could find ways to use their technologies to distract the creature or communicate with it. When it was distracted, stunned, somehow stopped....they would try to talk.
Remi? Remi was there so they didn't die. Also, he wanted a non-Ascended witness to the event. He could see it easily turning on them if people found out the Ascended had gone out to talk to monsters - at least Remi could help them convince people they did not have poor intentions.
At least, he hoped, if it all went wrong, the Ascended could all make themselves invisible and Remi could fly away.
Waiting with Remi, nervous and unsure if this was a good idea at all, he looked out into the darkness. "Thank you. For helping me with this - we may...really, really help somebody."
