A New Kind of Prison

I've been in a lot of prisons in my life (a lot of prison you don't even know, you will eventually but tip of the iceberg at this point).  The worst one is the one that Valrya put me in, in my own damn head. It was like I was able to see what I was doing, what I was saying, but not able to influence anything (well not entirely I moved my pinky toe, that was an accomplishment).  At first I raged around angrily shouting (all I was was a thought in my own head, so all I could do was shout, even when Valrya slept I could not be in control and I couldn't sleep, so it was true madness).  Eventually I reached a kind of contemtuous silence and worked to free myself (it was my own body I figured I had to have a back door out of it).  The most terrifying thing was knowing if I didn't wrest control from Valrya I'd be stuck there forever, a prisoner in my own mind until madness took me. So there I was watching Valrya leading Lorissia the wrong way (I could see where the corrupt had gone and how Valrya ignored the trail on purpose obviously).  I had no idea what she planned, or was currently planning (which is how I got stuck in my own head in the first place, I guess despite sharing the same body we did not share thought as much as I had believed we did).  So much like a child wanting a toy I spent a lot of time screaming.

"Shut up Trezlan your incessant prattling is making my head hurt."

"My head you necrothief! And I feel fine really fine, fantastic, other than the fact I LOST CONTROL OF MY BODY TO YOU!!!" Being a petulant child is what I'm best at.

"Well someone should have been more careful when killing a fellow necromancer, I've been at this a lot longer than you, hell what you killed wasn't even my original body, not that you really care." I did care, I cared a whole lot, because that was a hint of what would come to me if I didn't defeat her.

"I'll stop you with uhh magic!"

"Yeah you'll burn yourself to death and defeat us both I'm sure Trezlan, though I do have to say you have a lot more power than I thought you did, still you are as dumb as a post about using it, so this is a favor to you, I'm giving you a gift here you get to see your true potential without being you to mess it up, now be silent!" I felt a shove and then fell, it was weird, previously I was able to see things, see where I was, not be able to move, but still be there, but now I was in form myself, but all alone in a dark place.  I don't know where she'd shoved me, but I no longer got to see what was going on, and there I was, all alone in the darkness of my own mind unable to stop Valrya from murdering the crap out of Lorissia. The dangers of necromancy folks!
