YNs' POV:

"Morro?" You ask in trepidation.

Morro shakes his head violently. "YN.. Go.. Run.. Please.."

You snort. "Run where, exactly? We're on a ghost ship.." You trail off as Morro lets out a pitiful low moan and starts to tremble. You don't know what to do, so you put an arm around his shoulder and hold him, albeit somewhat awkwardly, trying to calm him down, though you're beginning to panic yourself.

"Morro.." You whisper urgently. "..What is she doing to you..?!"

Morro clutches his head. "She wants.. Full.. Cont-rol of.. Me." He grits out between spasms of ghostly agony.

You're alarmed to see his eyes shift from human, to reptilian, to evil, and then to blank and back again.

You should never have betrayed me. The Preeminent hisses maliciously at him. Goodbye.

Morro gives a final desperate scream and then goes slack. His eyes become blank and glassy, devoid of any emotion. Then the Preeminent speaks again.

Take her with you.

As Morro grabs you and holds onto you with a viselike grip, you start pleading with him. "Morro, I know you're in there. Fight her, please!"

He just snarls at you inhumanly, his gaze empty, and tightens his hold on you even more, forcing you to drop your arrow.

"What have you done to him?!" You cry out.

I'm taking care of a problem. Two, in fact. The Preeminent answers, almost amicably. But the illusion is shattered nearly instantly by her next command. Go to the railing and jump. Let's see how well you can swim, traitor.

You scream, horrified, as Morro drags you with him. "Morro, DON'T!!!" You beg. You pound on his arm, trying to get him to release you, but he doesn't even seem to register you being there at all.

Lloyd and the rest of the team attempt to reach you, but the Preeminent snarls, and all of the ghosts turn as one and bar their way.

Then suddenly, unexpectedly, Bansha calls out. "Wait!"

What is it, Bansha? The tentacled monster hisses at her.

The sorceress leans close to her Master and whispers to her.

Even better. The Preeminent answers gleefully. She addresses Morro next. Let the young Master go. She purrs, making you feel sick with worry as to what she's planning.

Morro immediately drops your arm and stands to attention, waiting for his next order.

Why don't you watch instead? The Preeminent passes a tentacle in front of his face, and his eyes clear.

"YN!" He exclaims, taking a step towards you. Then another tentacle quickly slithers across the deck and around his waist, pinning his arms to his sides and forcing his head up.

WATCH!!! The Preeminent snarls at him.

"HEY!!!" You snap, as Bansha grabs you.

"LET HER GO!!!" Morro shouts, struggling futilely against his former Master's fleshy arm, as Bansha pulls you to the gangplank of the ship. She shoves you onto it and smirks.

"This will hurt Morro a lot more than it will hurt me." She cackles.

"Why?" You have to ask.

Morro yells at the top of his lungs. "-BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, YN!!!"
