Continuation

[kyrasantae]

[continuation of this... takes place much later]

-- Your words may be true, but you can no longer deceive me.
I can see through your veil - you are an imposter...

-- ...why would I lie to you?  I serve but the same master.

-- You woke only my heart, and my heart fell for you.
I thought that was all I needed, but I was wrong.
You tried to steal this soul away, and you almost won.

-- I do no such thing!
I wished to save you from your undeath
and to take you into my love.

-- Between us stand the true avatar of your master.
She woke my soul, so that I could resist you.

-- Zarrenia,  it is you!  How do we meet again?
I thought we had gone our separate ways.

-- Theiyonus, you were cast away for your manipulation.
You were banished from speaking for the master. 
You serve its other side, not my own.
She is only a child; there is nothing you want from her.

-- Behold the visitation of rivals...

-- She seeks the theatre, the life of an actor; I can give it to her.

-- She seeks compassion, not drama. 

-- I seek both. But one must come before the other, and I
choose Zarrenia.  Her truth freed my soul.  I choose to follow her.

-- I told you to have more faith in me!
You gave yourself to me, and now you turn away?

-- I do not wish to turn away from the master, only from you.
I cannot see the faces of avatars, yet I see yours, Theiyonus.
You have yet to prove your worth.

-- But I resurrected you, brought you back to life!

-- The master sends us not to rescue them from despair,
but to speak to each child through their deepest desires.
This child has suffered greatly, to be saved by our master.
She is frail from her pains; you would have broken her.
