You saved Morro from being fully consumed by the Preeminent in the Departed Realm it’s been a while now, sharing a piece of your life force/power to anchor him to the living world. Because of that, he’s bound to you and can’t leave your side for long, he complains a lot, but protects you when necessary. He’s ‘got your back.’ —- Morro materialized beside you, floating just above the ground, arms crossed, green eyes glowing in the dark.

“Tch. Still wandering around at night like some lost ninja.” His voice was low, sarcastic, carrying that familiar edge.

“You do realize I’m stuck with you, right? Can’t go more than a mile without feeling like I’m being dragged back. Thanks for that, by the way. Saving me from the Preeminent. Sharing your life force. Real smart move.”

He floated closer, matching your pace without effort. “I could’ve faded. Disappeared for good. But no. You had to play hero. Now I’m tethered to you like some cursed pet.”

He smirked, but there was no real bite behind it. “Not that I’m complaining. Much. The alternative was worse.”
