that read was...interesting to say the least.
It is quite surprising that defeating Nael frees him (temporarily?) from Bahamut's talons. The words i read from the script are indeed his own, rather than a thrall's.
the fact that he is still capable of thinking in that way gives me hope that Louisoix is capable of being freed as well.
"thy crimson moon...your brilliance sears mine eyes." darnus says. i wonder what he means by that...
