It was hard to describe this new world the Majin had landed on, but he could describe it as beautiful. The waters were clear here, the animals were friendly and the air was warm. A perfect place for one such as Shaza to be at. The majin stood silently while he had a hand to his chin, pondering what he was going to do next. He knew better than to simply run rampant upon a new world. After all... who would truly be so foolish as to start attacking a world he didn't know anything about.
While standing there upon the shores of the beach, the majin's mind was racing with ideas. First he needed to find a secluded place to lay low, to begin planting his cells. Though it was going to be a pain in the arse, he wished to take his time with this world. The last one nearly killed him and he wouldn't make that mistake again. Chuckling to himself, the majin crossed his arms while staring off into the distance. Searching his memories for the name of this place, he could only get faint recollections of it being called Earth.
While he wasn't sure what sort of place he had arrived on, he was certain in time... he would learn all this world had to offer.

SUPER HEAVY WEIGHTS ACTIVATED!
Suddenly, Liari's eyes SNAPPED to focus, a... familiar power FLASHING BEFORE HER SENSES! Well... it wasn't EXACTLY familiar! She'd bet her dinner that she'd never felt a power like this before, but it was... similar to her own!
Liari had been standing in this one spot, staring blankly ahead for at least an hour or so, her own version of mediation, soul-searching, whatever one would like to call it. She had been so still that not even her chest shifted with the tiny intakes of breath she breathed, nor to shiver when cold breeze passed over her skin or yawn when a twinge of tiredness tickled her throat! She had been still... quiet... gone, expanding her senses further than she ever had before...
...and then she found that POWER!
"Is that..." Liari muttered, her eyes narrowing in thought as she turned her head in the signature's direction! "...a majin...?" With the exception of that pink girl she beat up on occasion, she'd NEVER seen another another majin, let alone felt one! They were... RARE if not borderline extinct on this world!
...And Liari was excited! SOMEONE LIKE HER! SOMEONE SHE COULD TALK TO, RELATE TO, EVEN! Ayu was great and all and she loved her like nobody else, but she could never GET what it meant to be a majin, how much it HURT sometimes or how HARD it could be! Everyone just saw her as another one of them... or a monster for what she was capable of...
...But that was about to change!
Even with her weights on, Liari ROCKETED to the location of this new power with amazing speed, getting more and more accurate with her trajectory the closer she got! For Liari, it was like finding a red-pebble in an ocean of red ones, easy to get to once you found it... but you really had to keep your eye on it lest it disappear amongst the others! This power was weak, TRAGICALLY even, but it was STILL very much noticible!
OH! MAYBE it'd be a girl just like her! MAYBE it'd wanna play and hang around with her!
...Or maybe it'd be a TOWERING GIANT in his own right, overlooking the planet with an expression that could make dinosaurs flee in horror. Liari would slowly drop down behind Shaza, her sanguine eyes looking him over curiously! He was VERY buff, VERY toned for a majin with a single long tentacle coming down from the top of his head. His attire was... modest, but with the key-identifiers in tact... and he radiated an intensity Liari wouldn't think to feel from one of her kind... unless they were pushed to the point of rage.
"You... You're a majin..." She'd mutter, the 8'3'' Liari tilting her head as she observed him, an excited glow in her eye... "Wh...What's your name? Who are you? Where did you come from? Are there more of you- I mean... US?"

Shaza was watching the sea with an dead set stare, unaware anyone was approaching. He had been so focused he didn't hear them fly up to him, their words snapping him from his thoughts as he turned to greet this giant of a majin as well. She was taller than him, but he simply kept his usual smile as he watched her. Another majin, something he didn't expect to find in this universe. He had always assumed he was a single creation, but perhaps that was not the case.... Perhaps they were a type of race that was born no matter the spell used?
A fact he would have to consider for the future, as right now he had a curious one asking him something.
"Ho? A majin... Well then."
It was clear he was surprised to see this new individual as well. Though he had the calm look he was undeniably shocked by this revelation.
"I don't know anymore of my-... our kind. You are the first I've ever met. My name is Shaza, I come from a planet far far away. A wizard created me for the purpose of managing a library... but that was a long time ago."
Shaza uncrossed his arms while he considered the new discovery. She was tall, and possessed a lean body... was she like him? Did she absorb people like he had? Was all majins fat when created, or were they capable of being born any shape? Many questions of his own existence had come to the surface.
"Might I know your name miss? Seems only fair I repeat your questions back. Where am I and who are you?"
Though he was repeating her questions he was not sure how much he liked the idea of someone who could devour him in return nearby. Shaza had considered himself one of a kind, an apex if you will. Now his notions of such things were no longer the case. He was already on guard about the potential of being absorbed. Not that he felt this girl had come to absorb him, but everyone had a mask. He was just trying to find out what was under hers.

Liari... didn't know whether to be underwhelmed by this guy's reaction or not... SURE, he seemed interested in her, but it was more of a reserved curiosity than how Liari was bouncing up and down right now! She... really didn't know what she expected, though. Despite every race having similar characteristics what with Saiyans and their tails, Humans and their demeanors and Changlings with their tails, they all had little things different about them that made them unique as individuals! Who was to say that Majin were any different?
...Maybe she was wrong to hope for a tiny little girl like she used to be...
Another reality hit Liari hard as Shaza revealed that they MIGHT be the only ones of their kind, considering he hadn't seen any OTHERS like them, explaining that he had been created by a wizard FAR from here to... manage a library...? Odd purpose for being alive aside, it was that CREATED bit that got her! Liari stared at Shaza with wide, SHOCKED eyes, her heart sinking in her chest as a look of disappointment.... and perhaps even sadness flashing across her face!
"We... we're not born...?" She questioned, tapping her chest with her hand! "We're made like... like androids?" For Liari, this hit her nearly as hard as when Kombu had gotten his neck broken. She had been told time and time again that Majin were different from the other races, that there were things about them that set them apart! For the longest time, Liari had understood those statements as referring to their natural abilities, their strength! ...But could they have been referring to the fact that they were nothing more than golems, given faces and personalities to make WORKING WITH THEM more pleasant!? ...She couldn't believe it... Why would someone DO THAT, MAKE people just to have them DO things!?
...Liari's brow scrunched up, her jaw clenched... but she wasn't mad at Shaza! If anything, she felt SORRY for him, as sorry as she felt for herself! Was that why she woke up in the middle of Earth with no memory of what happened before...? Could it be that she had just been MADE seconds ago and that ball had something to do with it!? She... She never really WAS free, was she...? Someone made her... and maybe what she had been doing was her objective all along...
...B-but now wasn't the time to lament this revelation! This was the first Majin she'd met since... since EVER! She wanted to be happy, to enjoy this moment, even if the context around it was less than ideal!
"Don't call me 'Miss', silly!" Liari giggled, FORCING DOWN the existential repugnance into her stomach and allowing her joy to rise! "We're practically kin! My name is Liari, and I am SO glad to meet you! You're the first Majin I've ever seen besides myself I... I thought I was alone in the universe!"

Shaza watched the girl as she seemed to... take a moment to consider his words. Had he spoken something to upset her? He took a moment to process everything he said, and realized it could only be from the part of the wizard. He raised a brow at her response, but then it did dawn on him. She had believed she had been the last of her race, and perhaps she believed no other had been created. If that was the case, then he felt sympathy for her.
"A pleasure Liari."
Shaza would bow gracefully, gentlemen like in nature before returning his gaze to the surrounding area. Attempting to understand where he was. Obviously on an ocean, but south, north? West or east possible? While he was happy to see another of his kind, he was simply more curious as to where the hell he was. After all his mission was more important, yet he would have to wait.
"I am sure there are more, the chance of us being the last of our kind is almost impossible."
Shaza turned to Liari full on then, deciding to put everything else on hold for the moment.
"Kin? Perhaps so. Tell me about yourself Liari."
Shaza asked, not really sure how to react to one of his own kind. He had learned to torment those who he deemed lesser than himself, and absorb those worthy of his time. But how did one react to one who possessed the same abilities as himself? Did he act with scorn, did he reject the notion he was equals with anything? If one could do the same things he could do, then how did he treat a possible threat like that? He had learned to simply let other races die out when they raised a threat... but this was another ageless creature like himself.
"Where did you come from? What world do you hail from?"
Shaza crossed his arms, pondering thoughtfully at this girl. She could well be over his own strength, a predator that could truly end his existence. She had that ability... it frightened him on a deep level.

"So formal!" Liari giggled, as her majin brethren bowed before her! "You don't have to act like that with me! Like I said, we're kin! Family! We gotta stick together if... you know... there's only a couple of us, right?" Shaza seemed to mull over this idea, seemingly intrigued but that was about it! Underwhelmed once more, Liari's smile... faded a bit from her face, instead turning to a perplexed one! Has... Has Shaza never been alone for a long period of time or... or did he just not care?
...Come to think of it, Shaza didn't seem to react much to Liari's presence at all beyond mild surprise and, perhaps, a vague sense of polite interest! Sure, he was holding a conversation, but he didn't... well... He wasn't how she wanted him to be! Maybe that was selfish of her... Maybe it wasn't right of her to have expectations on who this new and ONLY member of her race on Earth but...
...Liari had been alone for so long. Even since Earth, she had known very little beyond the vast open sky, the endless stretching concrete jungles and the barren wastelands of rock and sand. Only recently did she obtain friends... FAMILY, people who loved her but... they weren't Majin. They didn't really KNOW. They were doing their best and Liari loved them for it bit, in the end, they were just people...
...And in that way, she was alone.
...Until now, that had been the case... and now it was almost like her loneliness had been flipped in opposite proportions. Now it felt like she was failing to make a connection with this majin, the ONLY OTHER IN THE UNIVERSE, AS FAR A SHE KNEW! It was like being stranded on an island and the first person you met in YEARS you HATED with a passion!
...Now, she might not HATE Shaza... but she was struggling with his... lack of enthusiasm. Shaza questioned Liari's origins... and the majin huffed, crossing her arms in frustration...
"I... I don't really have an answer for you, to tell you the truth. I woke up on Earth... with no memory of my past... Two pieces of a ball surrounded me on either side I... I think that ball was either how I came to be... or perhaps even a containment unit." The majin blinked, surprised at her own musings, this thought only occurring to her just now! Shaza had proposed the idea they weren't real people, just... THINGS made by people to do things for them! Could it be... Liari was defective...?
"...Maybe... Maybe I was put in that ball... Maybe... for a reason..."

Shaza raised a brow at Liari's shift in enthusiasm, to which he did feel a pang of sadness for the girl. She was his kin, perhaps he was... to dismissive to the other of his kind. The majin rubbed the side of his head as he considered it. In truth Shaza never experienced excitement to be with others because he was always with someone. They lived within him... so perhaps he should bring that to her attention so as to not upset her any further.
"Liari, it seems I have... saddened you by my response. If you will give me a moment..."
The majin took a deep breath, seeming to expand a moment as he stared into the sky. His eyes narrowed while he brought forth something he had long sense buried. He didn't like doing this but if it meant a fellow majin was excited to meet him... then so be it. He was not capable of growing excited anymore, not after all the absorbing he had done...
In a moment, pink smoke emitted from him as he outstretched his arms to the sky. His whole body concealed by it but it was clear something was happening. After a few moments, the smoke was cleared by a fat majin emerging with a loud "HOOOO!" From there Shaza landed on the ground and patted his hands together. A smile on his face as he did so.
"HA! SHAZA IS BACK TO BEING SHAZA! YAY!"
The majins stated, bouncing from one foot to the other, slapping his hands to his drum like belly. He couldn't help but chuckle as he did so. The old joyful Shaza that had once been having been dug up to surface once more. Shaza had learned to do this a long time ago, both as a way to disarm opponents and also having the ability to draw on old personalities he needed for whatever situation he needed.
"HO HA! Shaza is not so boring now! Shaza gets lost in all his friends, fun isn't fun anymore! Shaza isn't afraid though, he has lots of friends now! Liari is a friend now too! But don't worry, Shaza doesn't want to have her inside. Liari is a friend who won't disappear, and leave him alone anymore!"
With that Shaza held out a hand for a high five, a smile on his face as he did so. He didn't like being in this form, he hated it completely... but he also didn't want one of his own kind to feel alone anymore... After all he had been alone on those battle fields when all his friends died.
"LIARI~! LIARI~! Bests best friend LIARI~! HAHAHA!"
Shaza stated proudly as he put his hands to his hips and proudly stood still holding out a hand to be high fived. He was a bubbly ball of joy, for now at least.

"S-saddened me?" Liari stammered, caught completely off guard by Shaza's precise and astute analysis! Had... had she been so obvious with her feelings? She... She didn't mean to pressure Shaza or make him feel like he wasn't good enough! That wouldn't be right at all! She... just... she was just so...
...But Shaza was already in the process of doing something!
....SUDDENLY, in a cloud of smoke, A MUCH MORE ROTUND MAJIN WOULD BURST OUT, his personality so much more jolly, friendly and simple than the first! Instantly, Liari felt her heart rise in her chest with EXCITEMENT, the little bubbly girl in herself coming forth before the much rounder Shaza, Liari giggling and clapping her hands happily as he chuckled with all sorts of friendly energy! He explained that there were so many people in his head, "friends", that sometimes he got lost in them all and he couldn't have much fun anymore! Now that he was like this, all of that was different! He could be himself! Only... Only now he wanted Liari to be his friend too.... on the outside, of course!
"Oh..." Liari touched her chest, her heart ACHING with the innocent sweetness radiating from him! "Of COURSE, I'll be your friend, Shaza! That's... that's all I ever wanted!" Liari would SLAP the open hand he held out to her in a high-five before reaching out to wrap her arms around his body and pull him in for a BIG hug!
The energy... the giddiness... it was all so COMFORTINGLY FAMILIAR! It was as if her old self had been taken out of her tiny blue body and put into this much larger pink one! True, he still wasn't a little sister, but this was the next best thing! It was as if he had become a really BIG little brother!
...But it wasn't real, was it...?
Like... OF COURSE this was Shaza... and he was SO SWEET (not to mention disturbingly perceptive) to pick up on and give her the majin friend she so desperately wanted... But Liari suspected that he was only doing this because she was sad... Sad that Shaza wasn't the person she was hoping for, the revelation Shaza suggested regarding his origin... but no matter how sad Liari might get, she wasn't greedy enough to DEMAND he stay this way! She... She didn't think this was HIM... at least, not anymore... He... he had grown beyond this innocence, even if he could adopt it at will...
"Hey Shaza...?" Liari would say softly, cupping the pudgy cheeks of her newest friend! "Could... Could you let me talk to that other... 'you' really fast? I... I wanna tell him a couple things..."

At first Shaza was pleased that his fellow majin had been happy. The bubbly little majin humming and hopping on one foot then the next. It wasn't till the girl asked him to change back. The majin placing a finger to his mouth as he thought about it for a moment. Abruptly the friendly little majin puffed up in a defiant stance. His fists to his hips while his face turned a darker hue of pink with a hint of purple. There the majin stood with a clear dislike of the idea of returning.
"NO! Shaza is finally free and Shaza want to be friends with-"
Abruptly the pink majin stopped as if he had been interrupted. Head looking slightly up as he placed his hand to his mouth curiously, as if listening to an inner voice. After a brief moment, the little fat blob of a majin looked down at the floor in shame.
"Ok... Shaza will go back now."
It wasn't long till he began to emit smoke once more, the cloud covering the majin up completely. After a brief pause the real shaza emerged with a quick flex of his muscles to push the smoke away. Shaking his head and placing a hand to his head, the majin felt confusion. The inner workings of his mind hounding him as the original personality was slotted back where it belonged. It was always a hassle to regain his old self, and it did leave some... lingering side effects.
"Y-yea? Yes Liari what did you want to say?"
Shaza eventually returned to normal, crossing his arms with a smile and the same old calm attitude from before. He didn't like it, but it appeared all his efforts had been in vain. He was not good with his own kind, and could only guess it was loneliness that drove her. She had spoken so excited before only to now seem to hesitated with everything. Her words, her actions and behaviors all pointed to the fact Shaza hadn't been what she wanted... To the majin, that meant he didn't have the skill needed to make her happy with him. Normally the majin simply absorbed someone to get a "skill" or the knowledge to accomplish something. Now... he was at a lose.
How could he possibly make Liari happy? Now Shaza was growing upset, unable to find the answer to his questions and with no way to accomplish what he desired, he was growing distressed inside. What he thought was impossible was happening right now! Who did he need to bring out? Who could make Liari happy with him?

Liari's heart broke as the more rotund Shaza protested her request, claiming he was now FREE of that other one! Was that what this was like for him: two personalities fighting for control in the same head? Liari would admit, she TOO had conflicting feelings since she had absorbed her friends, often fighting with their memories and personalities as to what she should DO and sometimes having to come to a consensus to do them! This guy, though... he had it so much worse! It was like his mind had CRACKED in two, unable to handle all the changes or something!
...And now she was hurting the cute one... Sometimes, Liari hated her life...
Before she could say something, make him stop, ask to take it all back, Shaza had already transformed back! He had grown much more slim, much more toned... much more serious... and smirking. Liari wondered if she had really changed THAT MUCH when she took Callion and Kombu into herself, if she could have ended up like him with two minds fighting each other for control...
...It hurt to think about... SCARED her to think about...
"Shaza I... was that really you...?" Liari asked, her eyes wide with concern, her mouth contorted in a disconcerted frown! "Like... you weren't playing with me, right?" Liari felt her heart gripped by ice as she imagined that little tiny form of herself, that little 4'6'' Liari trapped inside somewhere, buried so deep in her head that she couldn't yet hear her cries. ...She had wanted to believe that she WAS Liari, that all she had done was make additions to herself... but after seeing what Shaza had shown her, she... she wasn't even sure who she was anymore!
"...Was that version of you, that... round one... Is he part of you... or... was HE... YOU?"

Shaza raised a brow at the girl's questions, all of them seemed to stim from who he was. Was Liari unable to simply understand Shaza's personality? Was that all she was wanting to understand? He had believed his responses had disturbed her but now he was beginning to wonder if this two were simply unable to comprehend the other. The Majin's face twisted in annoyance, having been asked if he was who he was. Though after a carefully thought out argument with himself, the Majin's eyes trailed off to stare into the sky. His eyes lingering to the left and up while he processed who he was.
When he found an answer, the majin returned his gaze to liari before crossing his arms.
"I am Shaza, and yes that was a past part of me. I've learned over the years how to bring out the inner personalities for... different reasons."
Shaza placed a hand to his chin, thinking about how many people he had absorbed. Far to many to remember, and even then he never stopped to count he supposed.
"I keep all my friends and those I believe who deserve to be preserved within me. My old personality and me... did not see eye to eye. We are one in the same, but different. Old Shaza wished to be lazy, to forget his pain and others... He wished to not absorb his friends. I wished to keep them together forever. Those who would eventually age and die, I preserved them within me."
Shaza then closed his eyes, thinking back to the thousands of minds he had on shelves within his own body. A literal living library preserved for all time so long as he lived.
"Everyone I take into me is a part of me. They are me, and I am them. We unite together to make ourselves. It is... difficult to explain. My friends I've known over my long life, they wouldn't be here without me. There was of course... less willing people. But their knowledge was going to be wasted when they died, possibly from another of their kind. Perhaps war, assassination, disease or even old age. Shaza has made them into Shaza, and I am me while being no one else. I cannot possibly explain it in words. They live on forever, and I cherish them by remembering what they remember."
Shaza was trying to... word how he felt. It was like trying to explain the color red to someone who did not see. It was like trying to explain nothing to someone sentient. Nothing was always pictured as something, and Shaza could not explain the very meaning of his existence in a simple sentence.
"The simplest answer I can give is... yes it is me. But the me who wishes to simply frolic and play. I have work to do, I cannot play all day."
Shaza hoped that satisfied her question, but he doubted it. They were... unable to understand one another. That was how Shaza felt about Liari, that they were like polar opposites. Fire trying to understand Ice.

Liari didn't know whether to feel relief... or HORROR at what Shaza had explained, her sanguine eyes flicking back to a much softer... and hurt silver. So... she was right in her assumption that these two were the same, that THIS one, the thin one, had come about from trying to save all of his friends across the many years he had lived. Liari had taken this form for the same reason, wanting to SAVE Kombu and Quash from death, to HOLD them to her breast and keep them close... but as the days went by, she was hearing less and less from the two sayains inside her head, their voices intermingling with hers to the point she almost couldn't tell them apart! Could... could this have been what happened to Shaza, a hundred voices comingling as one inside his head...?
...And could it be she had just shoved the larger, rotund Shaza back into that maddening mass of good intentions against his WILL!?
Shaza explained that his friends-list had a catalogue that was numerous and vast, some coming under his protection willingly and others... less so. He did it all under the mindset that he was saving them, that he wanted to cherish them forever inside his head... And all Liari could do was stare. She had used that excuse once, for what she did in West City. She pretended that she didn't have a choice that, in the end, she was helping Kombu and Callion, protecting them from death by forever storing them inside.
...How wrong she was... She had felt nothing else other than GUILT and ANGER, knowing she COULD have done more! FORGET THIS VISIONS! Maybe they were just a product of her pre-programmed mission trying to rise to the surface! FORGET the sleeplessness! What did a robot made of gum and magic NEED with it!? She could have STRANGLED Zero, wrung his neck with her arms until he was DEAD for what he did to Kombu... She could have SAVED Callion, for once thought of someone else other than herself!
...But what did that even matter? She was a robot, according to Shaza. Some FAKE imitation of a person with her mission obscured from her. Everything she felt...? Fake. The relationships she had? What relationships WERE there with a robot? Liari's legs gave out from under her as she fell hard on her rear, her hands shooting up to cup her head as her body trembled like a leaf.
"...Is... Is that what we're supposed to do...?" She asked shakily, unable... or perhaps, unwilling to fully grasp the idea that... that all she was made for was to consume people... "...Was... was that my mission too...?"

Shaza watched as the girl seemed to fall into despair at his words, but to him it was not something he could understand. His goal was right, and he had no reason to see it as wrong. The people he absorbed would die eventually, so he saved them. Why was Liari suddenly falling to the ground in despair asking if this was "their" mission. The majin huffed his chest out as he heard her words and frowned in disapproval. He didn't believe they were "created" for a reason. They were not anyone's plaything.
"No, we were born from the love of our creators. I was born from the love and compassion of a kind man! Our mission is not something to despair about Majin Liari."
Shaza crouched down then, placing a hand on the girl's shoulder while looking into her eyes. He had a reassuring smile as he did so, trying to be kind to a now despairing majin. In truth, Shaza wasn't sure why he cared if Liari could handle the truth. But apparently she had believed she was "born" to another of their race. It was possible but not like how she might have considered.
"It is possible you split off from another Majin. That you were not "created" like I was. We are better than our creators however. Think on it. We do not age, we do not get sick, we can regenerate from wounds and lost limbs. We can come back from nearly anything and we can take the strength of others for our own. We are the perfect race Liari, we can see past the horizon of time and live forever."
Shaza stated before gesturing to the horizon with his hand, towards were earthlings were.
"We might be created, but that is precisely why we are the best. Those who made us didn't know they had made the perfect race. Beyond time, beyond death, and the holders of the future. Only we can do this Liari, and together we can be stronger. Now that there is two of us, we can truly help everyone! We can preserve this world's greatest treasures within us so that they are never forgotten. We can explore the stars at our own leisure while everyone else turns to dust trying."
Shaza stated this with pride in his voice. There was no downside to being a Majin in his eyes. They were the truest race, the greatest race to ever exist. They were the perfect being in every sense of the word, and they simply held the mantle of the future over their shoulders.

Shaza was doing his best to console Liari... she understood that. Had she still been bratty and childlike, she would have taken this guy as STUPID, A DUNCE for trying to bandage her would with, as she perceived it, infected wrappings! ...For Liari as she was now, she understood that this man was doing his best... just coming at it from all the wrong angles... TACKLING THE WRONG ISSUES, EVEN! Sure, they may be able to live forever and MAYBE they could heal themselves from any injury... but what was the point of all these gifts if they're to be used forever in the service of OTHERS!? Where was the AGENCY!? Powers that belong to a slave are powers that belong to the MASTER!
"But... what is the POINT of being able to do any of that!?" Liari hissed, her eyes flicking up at Shaza with irritation! "What's the point of being able to grow back a limb if your master tells you to rip it off? What's the point of being able to live forever if its spent taking orders? What is the point of having unstoppable, insurmountable strength if its used catering to some idiot that can't do it himself?" Liari's gaze at Shaza was one of frustration, not hatred... but she still felt terrible snapping at him like that. ...The first Majin she'd ever really had the opportunity to meet... and all she could feel about him and his way of doing things is horror and anger...
...She wanted this for so long and now that she had it... what was she doing with it? She was stomping all over it because it wasn't exactly what she wanted!
Shaza attempted to rally Liari's spirit, remarking that between the two of them, they could save everything of value on the planet! ...But didn't he get it...? Didn't he understand it was NEVER the point WHAT they were doing but WHO they were doing it for!?
"...Shaza... I can't..." Liari whispered, starting to shake again, clutching at her head! "...I can't STAND the idea that someone could make people... That they would program them to DO things they wouldn't do if they were left alone! Shaza, haven't you considered that the only reason you care about this at all is because some nobody wrote it into your brain? Isn't anything else important to you...?"

The majin leaned back as the girl spoke, clearly not understanding what she said at first before he placed a hand to his chin in thought. Would the librarian have wanted him to go about this the way he had? He was still fulfilling his role as a librarian in a way, cataloguing the information he had gotten in the same way he had been cataloguing his books before. So did that mean he was simply going about the same mission but just in a different manner? In truth the only way to know was to look inwards when he sought the answers.
Over the centuries Shaza had been stopped in his tracks more than once, and never had he considered the fact he was simply following the instructions laid before him. What if that was the case? Did it truly matter to him in the end? The more he thought about it, the more he was certain... he did this out of the love in his heart and in the process his love had been corrupted by the evils of sentient creatures. Their perverted desires for death, for war, for carnage had created the now evil shaza and his own desires to hide it have created the persona Liari now saw. The mask that he wore to hide what he had truly become.
With a sigh, Shaza looked to Liari then and shrugged in defeat.
"I cannot say, I only absorb people because they need preserving due to my love for knowledge. You must choose what you think is right, and that cannot be answered by me. Would you say your whole journey has been caused by someone else's decisions? Do you not possess the will to see things differently?"
Shaza could tell Liari was distressed, his words must have had some sort of profound impact upon her. So slowly the Majin stood up and crossed his arms in thought. True they were created, but he believed that he had free will. He had acquired it by existing for so long, and through his experiences had he come to his own conclusions.
"I cannot give you the answers Liari... I can only tell you what I know. For me, I preserve those I deem worthy enough. Not out of the command my father gave me, but out of the deserves born from watching those I love closest die around me. I've watched friends die, and forgotten their names. Memories grow old with time, then fade from our minds eventually. Such is how my mind works at least. I only hope you can find the same level of peace that I have."
With that Shaza could do no more. Liari seemed like she needed some time to herself to figure all of this out. He couldn't give her the answers she so desperately craved it seemed. A lesson he would take to heart today, a failure he didn't even know could exist. He couldn't bear the thought that he had failed in any way, it drove him mad inside. He had to get away. So with that, Shaza took to the sky before slowly floating away in an effort to distance himself.
