He imagined his future self, picturing what he would be like years later when he became a Great Wizard.
Would he become like Cassandra, endlessly plundering and slaughtering?
Would he, for the sake of research, sacrifice anyone around him without hesitation?
This possibility filled him with deep fear.
"No... I can't become like that..."
Ron took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Ali's memories were like a mirror, making him see what he was losing.
Emotion, compassion, reverence for life...
These precious qualities were slowly fading away.
Perhaps Uther's warning at that time meant this.
The acquisition of power always comes at a cost, the key is to ensure that one does not lose the most important things in the pursuit of power.
He needed emotional anchors, something to remind him of his humanity.
Eve, Nari, Dale, Ailan... and his family far away, they were his most precious treasures in this ruthless world.
