Panic

I’ve seen Conradus writing these on occasion so maybe I should write one of these, especially with all that’s going on. Today, I think I panicked, for the first time. Or maybe it’s just the first time I’ve realized it. When I faced Mugen and trapped him, I froze. Was that panic? I didn’t even know I was capable of panicking. Well, today I risked our lives on a feeling, an instinct. Something didn’t feel right with those three prisoners. We followed their directions and opened the door to find the jailor, and ended up in space. I mean what?!?! How did the other two not panic? Aren’t I supposed to be the emotionless one?
I decided to confront the jailor and talk to him; I didn’t fully believe that he had some all powerful silver tongue. And when I found out that he didn’t, that’s when I froze; what am I even supposed to do or say in that situation? Before I had time to collect my thoughts, Out Conradus cake with the power of banishment and we had to fight. We defeated the jailor and his pet lion thing, but we were all spent. And later found out I was right, and those three prisoners are actually evil Tenshi yokai.
 
I don’t blame Conradus; my life was very much in danger. But what would have happened if I didn’t freeze? How would things be different if I didn’t panic? My panic has nearly killed us twice now, and it may still, given that we were surrounded by those Tenshi. How did the three of us manage to get out of there with our lives? Well...
