Labalyn's memorial

[Anastasia]

"Sometimes I think it was a mistake," Jetina admits as she comes to sit next to you. Then she looks to you, "Then I feel how I am now and I wonder how I could ever think that. How could I ever think being so weak and limited was right. It agrees with me, Moore. This power agrees with me."

[Nephrite]

"I think that's a... I don't want to call it a lie, but..." Moore taps his cheek. "I think it's something intrinsic with the way the Incarnations created divinity. Something baked into the whole process."

[Anastasia]

"What do you  mean?" Jetina asks, leaning in towards you.

[Nephrite]

"So, we know that the Incarnations really don't understand emotions, right?" Moore says. "I mean, they... kind of do, but it isn't quite right. Anyway, they create divinity, in order to be masters over certain things, right? Anyhow, so they create this thing and know that there needs to be a reason for these beings to keep doing it. Have you ever heard of any divine being who just... stopped being divine? One that got bored, or just quit?"

[Anastasia]

"Who would? Who wants not to feel like this?" Jetina cocks her head to the side, "I don't, even when I doubt. I never will. No one could. It's superior in every way. I'm superior in every way now."

[Nephrite]

"That's what I mean. I think it's just... mm. I think it's real, but I think that that feeling of 'superior' is one that the Incarnations built in. I suppose we could ask Lord Zaphkiel about it, if we wanted to." Moore says. "I ... hm. Just remember not to start thinking that you're superior to mortals in general, you know? That's what led Eblis down his path."

[Anastasia]

"That and believing mortals were worthless," Jetina admits. She stops and takes a breath. "You're right. I focused on that we must obtain a seed and now...and now I almost lose myself to it." A bow of her head, "Thank you, Moore."

In that moment you feel it, a strong connection to Jetina.

Node update, go read.

[Nephrite]

Moore reaches out to pat Jetina on the shoulder.

"Never forget that what we do is a burden and a gift." He says. "You see? Someone approves of that growth from you too."

[Anastasia]

"Both," Jetina admits, "And now we go on another mission, for another seed?"

[Nephrite]

"Yes, but we're going to be prepared for this." Moore says. "Against Torm, against The Adversary, against anyone."

[Anastasia]

"Together," Jetina agrees and...

Okay, that was the last interrupt. Are you prepared spell wise for the next day?

[Nephrite]

Yes, I will write up everything so we can hit the ground running tomorrow.

[Anastasia]

Go for it.

[Nephrite]

Also don't forget about Eagle's Regret.

[Anastasia]

We'll cover that first thing tomorrow.
