"...I understand," Is what Kashca says, "I worry about the vanity, but...I know what I want to do now."

At that you feel a connection with Kascha, strong and burning bright.

Node update for Kascha. Go read and reply here.

[Corwin]

"Awesome! Do that, safely!"

[Anastasia]

"Ah!" Kascha cries, "Ah! Thank you!" she looks upwards, then to you. "Someone like that wants someone like me to rise to divinity and rewards me for that." Kascha takes a long, long breath, "Was it as humbling and stunning for you when Waukeen supported your efforts, Seira?"

Amaryl watches, "Humbling, world changing, a redefinition of your basic assumptions of the world."

[Corwin]

"I was excited because I really felt like Waukeen and I were friends," Seira confides in Kascha. "It was a great responsibility, but that's just how I like it!"

[Anastasia]

"That's what makes it seems one of Her Majesty's dreams," Kascha admits, looking ahead at the bazaar, as far away as another world thanks to your magic. "I've met the divine, I know how wondrous they - we - are. That I'm one of them, that I could be like Queen Morwel, that I could be like Lathander, that I could be like...you."

[Corwin]

Seira beams at her, sincerely flattered.

[Anastasia]

Amaryl breaks into a soft smile, a little 'oh' escaping her lips.

"S-so you understand why this is hard, right?" Kascha says, "Who can live up to you?"

[Corwin]

"We all strive towards our ideals," Seira muses. "The very idea is to aim for them and do our best. So long as we do that, things will turn out alright. Don't think in terms of an end result or of reaching the goal. Just keep on reaching for your goals with all your might! Stay positive, and always keep in mind how far you've come and how important it is to work at it and keep going. Stay positive, and watch as others around you gain that same positive outlook and reach out to support you. Keep inspiring others, as you have been inspired, even as you keep on looking for fresh inspiration yourself. And hey, if none of this makes any sense to you right now? Don't worry and just keep going, because it will once you experience what I have and what Amaryl is starting to."

[Anastasia]

With a sheepish but growing smile, "That's what's so amazing about you, Seira," Kascha admits, "You make sound so easy and make it look so easy."

[Corwin]

"That's because I hide all those futile struggles against Asmodad and only show my amazing side, like when schooling Lixer!"

[Anastasia]

"Schooling..." Kascha shakes her head, "We glimpsed Lixer's power in Aurora, and it was terrifying. Yet you can claim such a thing. You're proving my point."

[Corwin]

Seira grins at her. "Seriously, though, don't go to the Eastlands on your own. Take someone with you not just for safety, but to bounce ideas off. And once you get established there, I'll visit in avatar form~"

[Anastasia]

"I want to go myself, but I can't now, can I?" Kascha admits, "We'll have to come up with something, but I have an idea of how to do it.  I have to learn how to work through others now, anyway."

[Corwin]

"It was the hardest thing for me," Seira admits. "Took me years to get the hang of it. But I think you've got the right experience to make it work, so you'll be okay in a month."

[Anastasia]

"How do you do it?" Kascha asks, "I'm so used to going and taking care of my own problems, or helping someone with theirs."
