Wha- your daughter??

Whythehells that? I'm no cross-name-dressing fairytales lover!!

[gaeaf]

Your personality is not dissimilar, although she would never be brazen with her mother.

You two possessed a similar... wounded kindness.

[forsakensun]

Figures, since I never had any parents to begin with. The only ones that existed when I was born were the Ogdoad and Thoth.

That's a pretty wide brush for similarities you're painting us with. I haven't been kind in a long, looooong time now.

[ She remembers his bitterness about his 'parents' in their first conversation. Though she is not blood-related to her daughter, it matters little to a family of choice.

She bestowed her new name and purpose. ]

Neither has she— She is to be the cruelest fairy of all. [ Just as her mother told her to be. ]

[forsakensun]

Was that her choice - or something somebody just decided?

[Things like that are easily said. To have it lived, though... ]

[gaeaf]

I told her to be cruel. [ Morgan admits unrepetantly. With her name and her purpose, she also supplied Tristan with a method to live. She was in a fragile state when she finally found her again. They tortured her to death for countless lives. Those other fairies. No matter how many times she manifests again, it's always the same. Gentle Baobath Sith. Sacrifice of the land. The only fairy who ever thanked her. The only fairy she would save. ]

Until my kingdom stabilizes, being cruel is the best.

[ Once it happens, her role will change. She chose her as her daughter to defy her fate. ]

[forsakensun]

Ha... HahaGYAHAHAHAHA!! Now you've done it! What a beautiful piece of work you and your daughter are, you're gonna sufferrrRRrrr~~!!

['Cruel is the best'? What a hoard of bullshit! She's signed her own and her cherished daughter's death warrants and she doesn't even know it! Wow, that's just magnificient!!]

I know you're not going to believe me again, but. Man! Manmanmanmaaaaan, not that's a show I gotta see! Your breakdown's gonna be such a feast!

if he knew lol, lb6 is such a trainwreck

[gaeaf]

I will not permit that to happen.

[ Morgan says coldly, her voice and face as a stone. It is the best course of action as long as Tristan gains awareness she also needs some restrain. Kindness doesn't exist nor fare well in that world. Beheaded, burned, drowned, hanged, there was little the fairies hadn't done to Morgan when she was playing the role of Savior in the past.

Once the world stabilizes and the sinners are finally reborn without their stains, the situation will be different. Morgan is counting on that. ]

You are very confident in thinking I am capable of a 'breakdown.'

[forsakensun]

Sure, sure~ You won't permit it~~

[He waves her words away like a silly butterfly. He has seen and heard those kind of plays over and over by now.]

Let's just say that I've got some experience. You're not the first big leader I'm having this kinda talk with, after all.

[Had it been the Inka or Ancient Rome? Or maybe somebody from Britain, somewhere between when the Vikings and French got there? Ehh, hell, who cares!]


Icebergs are hella fragile, jussst as a friendly warning. You may sink ships, but just one touch at the wrong spot and it's all down like shaved ice!

[gaeaf]

Hmph. How many of those rulers have lasted two thousand years in power?

[ Her voice is neutral. Even if most of her feelings are exhausted, her determination flares to expand and stabilize her crafted kingdom after she united those belligerent clans under her throne.

A piece of her heart still longs to the more carefree past when she traveled as Aesc. It's small but still there, aching when she sits each court session to listen to the pompous pretense of those lords and ladies that play well-mannered to hide their monstrous nature. ]

Tristan will need to wield cruelty with fine precision as my heir. That is the only language that keeps those faeries in line.

[ For now.

Her cold voice drips with disdain and scorn. Morgan really hates most of her subjects despite how much she loves the kingdom she has made; it is not because of the citizens. ]

Don't think I do not know Proper Human History's kings, although they never lived in my world. I am aware of all that. It is simply impossible to compare humans with these faeries.

[ She leaves it like that with a dismissal sigh. She isn't ungrateful for the warning. Nevertheless—

She tried everything else before it came to this. They left her no other choice. No, the moment they poisoned the just king who could have ruled them before their world ended, she could no longer forgive them. ]

[forsakensun]

[Apophis gives her a flat look.]

Egypt is over 4000 years old, you know?

[Which is only tangentially relevant and chronologically not even right, but who cares! She started it!

He keeps watching her while he waits for her to settle down and consider his bitter words and the feelings they nudged. It's not much because she has such control on them, but he can feel the darkness squirm even inside of somebody as pristinely frozen as her.

When he finally speaks up again, his tone is calm and conversational.]

You know, you just prided yourself on being a near-eternal ruler and talked about your heir in nearly the same breath.

[gaeaf]

Unless I am mistaken, Egypt didn't have a single dynasty in power during that period, let alone a single ruler.

[ She'll argue he started it and she finishes it. The vision of a country changes from one monarch to another and from one dynasty to another. Some lived to old age, but plenty were assassinated and deposed through conquest or intrigue. Have all of those rulers been cruel? She does not voice the question. She let it bitterly stretch with her silence.

He would know the answer without her saying it. ]

Is that a problem? [ She challenges with a soft voice. Morgan may be a tyrant, but she rarely raises her voice. It flows like the pouring rain. ] The heir's existence means stability, and it avoids usurpers claiming that title for themselves.

[ It is a reasonable point. A means to an end to disqualify the new Avalon le Fae when she emerges with her old purpose. But that is an excuse—

She didn't plan this when she claimed that girl as her daughter.

The queen of winter cares nothing but the kingdom, so has made it clear to her Court. The lives of faeries are meaningless to her, and she will not save or condemn them. With that conviction, she ruled with an iron fist and managed to create a stable and prosperous kingdom from what used to be a perpetually war-torn land. Yet she has a fatal weakness most are unaware it exists. Her love for a misfortunate fairy whose purpose is to be torn apart and killed as a cruel "sacrifice." Baobath Sith. The name and past she sealed when she turned that child into Princess Tristan.

Between her ambition and her foster daughter, the latter wins more in her heart. ]

[ ooc: Tristan/B. Sith is one of the world-ending calamities as the core of Cernunnos' corpse. ]
