Artoria Leonhart's Links
"You sicken me. I hate you with my entire being and more. I long for the day where I can put an end to your selfish ways, and I *hate* that you're the favourite! Why?! Why am I not good enough?! What's wrong with me, and why is it *ALWAYS* YOU!!"
Artoria burns with hatred, and even moreso due to how close they were as children. She truly, in the end, loves Artorias and wants to see him thrive- But, she is so blinded by her jealousy- that she wants nothing more than to wrap her hands around his neck and end his life by her hands. She is angry, and that anger clouds everything else.
"Artoria? She is my other half. What more can I say? That I love her? Sure. Though, she'd probably just hate me more if I were to mention that. I'd let her kill me if it meant she'd be happy, but in the end, I believe fate will just have us draw our weapons at each other... and when that time comes, I'll have to kill her."
Artorias has conflicted feelings. He loves Artoria, genuinely wants to see her do well for herself, but also does not want to die by her hands. Should he be attacked by her- he will not hesitate to show the full extent of his power. As a child, he held back from killing her, and likewise, he would not /kill/ her, but she will come to know *why* he is wanted and how gifted he truly is. Artorias genuinely believes they could get along, but the wedge between them has split them too far. He has given up on trying to fix it.
