"A part of the pact me and that man made was for him to give me an ability. So, in exchange of me getting trapped here, I got the ability to manipulate minds."

He shrugs.

"It's not as great as I thought, but I still could make that deerclop bend in front of the girl's spear with his eye wide open."

He smiles.

That interested him. Someone else who could manipulate things with his mind... Intriguing. And very dangerous. He wondered how much he would be able to counter a manipulation of his own mind. Possibly not so well, considering he was mostly worn down by having to keep himself in the air constantly. It mostly depended on Jay's power, though. "How do we know you're telling the truth?"

<Well, what do you think, Will?>

(Let's just say it didn't happen.)

<I've fought someone who used a form of mind control before. Hell, he was the one who caused this crisis to happen the first time by setting Bael free. Mind control isn't something good people ask for. But, he did help. It would be highly unusual for a Deerclops to just let someone stab its eye. We'll keep a close eye on him.>

Joseph hesitated, before responding. <Fine, if you say you've battled someone with it... But if he gets to you, and you come at me, I'm going to fight back.>

"Alright, fine. We're going to this portal now, it will probably help us get out of this damned place. Do you wanna come with?"

"I believe so, but I just want to get out of here. Every minute we spend here, the closer our lives come to ending."

Will removes the red gem from his knife, and replaces it with the green one. He passes through the tree line and stares at the Door, waiting for the others. Violet approaches him.

"So, who's the new guy? He's kind of cute."

"Some power hungry celebrity. Don't bother talking to him, he's obviously got a big head. Says he can control minds. Keep on guard. If you feel weird, let me or Joseph know, okay?"

"Sure. So, this Door... that Maxwell guy made it, right? The suit person?"

"Yep. He made it so others could come and free him from the throne. He didn't expect demons to try to usurp him and try to destroy all of existence."

"How do you know if we'll all appear together on the other side? they way you made it sound, we might all get separated."

"I... I don't know that. I can't make that promise, Violet. But, I can promise that even if that does happen, the final door would lead to the same place. We all have to be strong. We don't know what is really behind this door, but we can conquer it. You, with your persistence and will power. Joseph's intelligence, White's purity, and my..."

Will grows silent, not being able to think of what he offers.

"I don't have anything for us, do I? Once we go through this door, I'll be useless. Without Inigo, I'm just a normal person."

"Ini- that was Dark Will's name, wasn't it?"

Will looks down, fighting back tears.

"It was. I didn't even know him that long, but he saved my life so many times, I never got to save his. And now, even with his sacrifice, I'm no better a person."

 

"Don't be so quick to discount yourself, Will." Joseph's eyes never left Jay. "You have the most experience out of all of us. I may have stayed here for a year, but you clearly know a lot more about this place. We need you, and don't forget that. So don't go dying on us, alright?" He raised his voice after that, adressing the rest of the group. "That goes for all of us."
