Armerane and his Other found a mask that they hoped would help them save the world. However, they could tell right away that it had some kind of presence attached to it. The Other thought that, since they weren't a physical being, wearing it only when they were the one in control would mitigate the effects.
It did, in a way. Armerane was able to remain mostly unharmed.
But at the end of it all, upon taking a much needed rest, he had found that his Other had taken far too much of the mask's assault. And now he had to make a horrible choice. A choice that would shake him and in time, the foundation of the world itself.
But right now, all he knew is that it meant either his death, or cutting out a part of himself.
