Ignatius Darkwater? Smartest fish to swim the sea? Renowned sage of the coral circle? Yeah... well.
Now he's nothing but a branded serf to the foreign dragon lord Nagareru because he's trying desperately to hold on to his slipping mind as his warlock pact drives him more and more insane. Selling himself into serfdom to gain membership to the dragon's clan and his blood, which buys him extra time to recover his mind. Certainly it was worth it to sell his body after already losing his soul and mind, it had to be... it was his only choice left.
Is there any hope for him? He certainly wants to believe so but it might just be an Illusion, like so many others that harass him now.
