The second last page of this chapter, kind of the epilogue ^^ This actually should have been the end... actually it should have ended in the ballroom *lol* But I have so much fun with this I will continue it a bit more since there is another story of Elijah's past I want to tell. It will alter his original backgroundstory a bit, like this did too, but I have to, otherwise I can't do it
Lightning was a problem here since it collided with the shader I used for all the other pages. That's why there are some rather bright spots. I didn't want to suddenly use a different shader ^^*
Tell me what you think ^^

So he thought that the power would free him from his grief and pain, and instead it's just added a burden of guilt as he imagines how Keith would have reacted to what he's become? And now he's using anger against his father to hide from that guilt. In "Whitby Bay", Elijah was facing Keith's ghost, but here, it seems that he's running desperately away from it.

I think his anger towards his father was the main reason he decided to more or less sell his soul to the devil. His father is very religious and Elijah on the other hand thinks that God is dead after he lost Keith. He's thinking like Nietzsche, rather ahead of his time

Elijah would have benefited from another of Nietzsche's warnings - "He who would fight monsters should take care lest he thereby become a monster". His father was the monster who killed Elijah's lover. Elijah became a literal monster in reaction to that, and returned home to continue the cycle of abuse. If his father is religious, maybe Elijah *wants* God to be dead. His father robbed Elijah of the one thing that mattered to him. Now Elijah wants to take everything away from his father, including his God and his hope of salvation, to punish him.

Wow, seriously wow... I never saw that with this intensity! Thank you so much, it makes Elijah's behaviour even more clear. I didn't know this quote but on the other hand I've never been into philosophy very much. It's amazing how well it fits the picture I have of Elijah's character. Thanks again for making me see that

I'm not into philosophy either, but a few of Nietzsche's maxims are famous and constantly quoted in the US/UK fantasy fiction and role-playing game community - so much so that they even get parodied. (One of his well-known sayings is "that which does not kill me, makes me stronger". The British author Terry Pratchett has a tough police officer character who once said "that which does not kill me, had better run away damned fast"
