If she was around forever.. even if that had been a shell of Intellect, how could she see that face, hear that voice, forever? Her breaths came quicker and her heart raced as she hyperventilated. She couldn’t. She had to and she couldn’t. Mirth hugged her.

Through the Living Wrath he/him Posted July 26, 2025 Author Posted July 26, 2025 23 minutes ago, Spark of Hope said: I can’t- please there has to be another- Mirth paused, then showed her. Her mind opened to a scene, a man. Undying, watching the world pass before him. Inwardly calling himself the Constant, he cursed Aeia for his immortality. He watched loved ones pass before him, wither, die, as he was helpless to save them. And then he was visited by divinity. Aeia, in her glory, established him of king of a sovereign nation, expanded his power. He ran. He ventured to go as far from his new people as possible. And his unlife continued. He refused to minister to his people, let them wither in confusion. As time passed, he allowed himself to take students. Teach people under him, bring them the wisdom afforded him by his many years. And they died. All of them. Another scene, concrete. The man, the Eternal King, weeping over the bodies of his pupils. And then they wept with him. He looked to his once-students with horror and confusion as they rose, wounds healing and returning to life. Again, he ran. He returned to his people, ministering to them. And as more and more of them reached his immortality, they told him of certain truths. They could feel him. Feel his emotions, hear his thoughts. And so he grew cold. He pushed emotion away, not wishing to betray himself to his subjects. He ruled benevolently, but his heart was a distant thing. Finally, the Rending. The world was torn asunder, and he was thrown, by some force, into a rift. He lost consciousness, and when he returned, he had lost his memory. His name became Intellect.

If I do… If she did, she’d have to look at the face, hear the voice that refused to let her grieve two of the most important people she had, forever. But if she didn’t… She looked at Aela. When she’d lost Intellect, she hadn’t been able to speak. If the roles were reversed… if Aela had had the chance to save Mirth and didn’t… would she ever forgive her? She didn’t want to push her sister away… … fine. I’ll do it. But for Aela. For you. Not for him.

Dispersing, it challenged all who sought to control it. @Argenti @Spark of Hope @Through The Living Glass @Wierdo (If he doesn’t respond [He hasn’t checked on in a while], we’ll move on) Intellect bowed, and saw the Eternal King. He hugged the frozen figure, clinging to it as he would a lifeline. His face was set as stone, and he kneeled as the figure crumbled away. His decisions hurt people, he knew. But… he saw. It helped him to see. Standing, he looked away from the others, fading into a grey figure. ”I see now.”
