A pretty major concern of mine has been that my mind is incapable of change and growth. Hopefully, that isn't entirely true."

Channelknight Fadran Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 Ayia shook her head. "Because that's not how changing your mind is supposed to work."

I think... maybe I just could see things the way you saw them, completely, for a short time. And that helped."

Szeth Pancakes he/they Posted June 7, 2023 Author Posted June 7, 2023 Quote Just keeping caught up. Idk if Allera wants to say anything. It feels too late to answer the thing about the trail, so I think they’re just gonna let this conversation play out

Considering the nature of RPs, I don't think we have to be too concerned about bulletproof continuity.

Channelknight Fadran Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 Ayia sighed, rubbing the back of her neck. "Ah... where to begin... it's... uncertainty is dangerous. One of my best friends I've ever had was always second-guessing himself, and when it comes to killing demigods and sealing away cosmic horrors, you need to be absolutely stable with yourself in every respect - so he tripped over himself. And it almost killed literally everyone on his world. The problem was that he didn't know why he was trying to save everyone in the first place... it seems so simple that if you have the power to save the world that you gotta save the world, but he just couldn't see what was so important about it in the long run. "It's... the same thing that happened to me, the night Élter died. He was the last friend I had, and I went off and killed a bunch of people. Bad guys, sure, but still... and it even led to me pretty much saving the world, if you're naïve enough to think it's easy as that to change a whole planet's society. It was out of revenge, because I didn't even realize by then that the only reason I was fighting was because of him. I was fighting as a child because of my mom, I was fighting after that because Iod, and then I was fighting after him because of Élter. And then after I killed that throne-squandering bastard, I just... stopped."

Or just understand my own motivation better?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 "Of course not, I..." Ayia sighed. "I'm explaining this really badly. I just think that the best way to live is to have someone or something to love."
