Dominica shivers as she seemingly swims in an ethereal red haze, her eyes bright red, with beady black pupils, as gives word to her thoughts.
"The demon has changed me. The exiles in Ul'dah said that my physiology, the very aether that makes up my body... is 'strange' now."
She shivers and clutches at herself, nude, with blood covering her mouth, trembling in uncharacteristic anxiety.
"My mind is plagued by thoughts that aren't my own. I keep her in check. I have to. My body is my own. No one else's. Not hers. Not my husband's. Not the Empire's. I have to resist these thoughts, these urges..."
Her eyes grow wild, and someone else's unsettling smile curves her lips upward, rambling madly as she clutches her head. Her words trail off in an unending mantra.
"Like what if I wrapped my hands around that pretty blonde's neck and watch as the life fades from her eyes? It's not fair she gets to keep all that sweet, sweet blood all to herself. It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair...!"
Dominica snaps out of it when she hears a knock on her door.
Blonde Noblewoman: Doctor? Are you there?
The thought of losing control terrifies her. Almost as much as the idea of losing the power that tests it.
