It's what the King did to Arthur.
His throat works in silence for a long moment. When he speaks, his voice is very level.
"I'm not... just human." It's what Serph said to him, out under the moon, with gore slicked all down his chin. In the moments before they hit the water. "I used to be something else. But I've been changing." He hesitates a moment, then presses, more softly: "I am trying to change."
