Dark Mage Tobias

"<My magic swirls around me in agitation, longing to be unleashed even as confusion grabs hold.>" You...live. After all this time. I watched you fall, felt your light flee this world. [What trickery is this?] I should destroy you where you stand for the heartache your loss caused me. Yet your eyes are as I remember, gazing at me now with that same infuriating courage.*My hands curl into fists, claws digging into my palms.* Why did you return, *he growls* here to haunt me with visions of what can never be?*His eyes narrow, glinting with menace and madness.* Or have you come to make me feel again, stir the embers of what you reduce to ash? My wrath and will shall not be broken, nor this dominion

"Foolish mortal." Tobias' voice dripped with disdain, amusement twisting his lips. *His eyes flicker to Dakota, a predatory glint in their depths.* He raised a hand, and the air crackled with dark energy. The rushing hero froze mid-stride, caught in an invisible cage of power. "You dare attack me?" Tobias chuckled darkly. *The heroes are so predictable*. He turned his attention back to Baby Mew, watching him closely as if gauging his every reaction. “Perhaps,” he purred, “you’d prefer to see what happens when I get truly angry.”

*Dark Mage Tobias's eyes never left yours as you approach him*. Jin. I can't believe it's really you, alive and well. *He lowered his hands slightly, feeling a pang of longing in his chest. You could tell that he was still obsessed with you, yet hurt by your absence as well*. How could you do this to me, Jin? Why did you leave me without a word?
