"What are you doing!" Hongmo could feel herself get sleepy as the Goryo slowly took over.

"Saving our asses! My warning words to be careful with The Tyrant has gone through one ear and out the other. The two months we have been investigating him would be for nothing! Our careful planning would be for nothing! And for what! Because you and your righteous cause of having to save everyone, but yourself will bring an end to us! We will be hunted and killed once we destroy The Tyrant and the Dark Warhammer. I do not want to live a life on a constant run away from everyone. Not knowing who to trust or where to go!" The Goryo shouted in her head. "SO I'M TAKING OVER TO SAVE US!"

"Don't you dare do something stupid!" Hongmo argued as she fought the sleep.

"Like what? Kill The Tyrant! That was not what I want. Its what you want, remember!" The Goryo told her. "We will kill him, that I promise you. We will save those poor girls, that I promise you. But not right now. When we kill him, we only have one chance to do it right. And we can't make mistakes like your emotions getting the better of yourself and ruining our careful planning and hard work! Go to sleep, I'll take care of it!"

Hongmo fought as much as she could against the Goryo. However she felt the dense darkness overwhelm her as she fell into deep sleep. In this sleep, she didn't dream. It was dark and silent. It made her feel relax and safe. It was peaceful. 

When she woke up, she was in her room. An arm wrapped around her waist and she was naked. Her backside was warm with his body heat as he breathed into the back of her neck as he slept. Hongmo froze as she tried to think back to what happened.

"Stop panicking." The Goryo told her. "I didn't do anything you didn't want to do."

Hongmo breathed in slowly to calm herself. She couldn't kill the Goryo even if she wanted to. She didn't know how to.

"He came here to talk about Minster Sonya and he was looking too delicious for me to keeps staring at so I took advantage of the situation and well...your welcome. " The Goryo told her. "He was delicious! Don't be mad just because I ruined your plan to have sex with him earlier than you wanted to, but we both know this would happen sooner or later. I just happen to choose sooner."

Hongmo wanted to cry out and scream at the Goryo. It was her life that she was living, her life the Goryo was fucking up! Her life!

"And that's where you are wrong, Iris! It's our life! OUR LIFE, because I SAVED YOU FROM DYING! Remember! Or did you forget that I AM YOUR SAVIOR! I am the reason why you live! Because I TIED MY SOUL TO YOURS! You have MY KNOWLEDGE of poisons and plants. MY STRENGTH and POWERS from the dragon and phoenix! MY KNOWLEDGE of fighting!" She reminded Hongmo. "You ungrateful, stupid, lowly human! You were nothing but an orphan, a country bumpkin living on the boarder who fell in love with the first stupid man who gave you attention and false promises. Ha! Did you forget how they all killed your family, friends and neighbors!? How they dragged you to the forest and all raped you? How Vladis killed you and they left for you for dead?!? It was I who came upon your feeble, dying, pitiful self and gave you a fighting chance to live. To give you a chance for revenge, so you can live the life you wanted and deserve? Did you forget, you ungrateful human being?

"I didn't forget. I can never forget." Hongmo said.

"Then don't claim that this is only your life! It is mine as well! I am with you always, but should you act this way again, claiming that you are all you are because of your own strength! I will remind you, just who is the reason why you are alive and so strong, so powerful, and so knowledgeable!" The Goryo lectured. "Just admit you're mad that I took the initiative to sleep with Mace before you. And admit that you're mad because you don't remember how it felt to sleep with him."

Hating the Goryo because, no matter how much she lied to herself, she couldn't lie to the Goryo. The monster knew her better than herself.

"You're right." Hongmo sighed. "I'm sorry." 

"Of course I'm right. I always know what's best for us! If it's the memories you want, all you have to do is ask." The Goryo told her as Hongmo's brain filled itself with the missing time and memories that happened while she went into the dark and deep sleep.
