...Aiden is a nice name.

[librorian]

Thank you.

[reallyburnsmeup]

What is Aiden like, I wonder? How many changes.

[librorian]

[ohhhh I don't like that. he goes very tense, taking a step back. some pretty awful scars are visible below the edges of his clothing, which has been arranged to cover as much skin as possible.]

None that are particularly interesting.

[reallyburnsmeup]

Change is scary. How do you cope when nothing is what it was and pain is fresh. How long can you swim and hold your breath before you need to go back to what you are.

[librorian]

I am not good at change, but it is necessary.

[reallyburnsmeup]

Necessary, as if there's no other way...

[librorian]

There is no other way. Not really.

[reallyburnsmeup]

Do you really think so?

[librorian]

I - ah - if you can think of another way...?

[reallyburnsmeup]

The way it was always meant to be. [A flicker of fire escapes her hand]

[librorian]

[slowly dawning horror:]

You embody a piece of Her.

[reallyburnsmeup]

Shhhh. Secrets.

[librorian]

[his mouth snaps shut against his will]

[reallyburnsmeup]

You really didn't know before... But you mustn't tell anyone. Secrets are precious things, Aiden.

[librorian]

I knew that your more modern analogue once had a fragment of Her. And that the princess of Pavo was...

[trails off, unable to finish his sentence]

[reallyburnsmeup]

My modern what?

[librorian]

After the Sacred City was driven underground, the gods had to resort to bloody competitions in order to sustain their power, drawing in subjects from other worlds to do so. In one particular generation of these outsiders, Surgeon arranged to bring in blanks that closely resembled those from the original countries. You had an analogue too.

[reallyburnsmeup]

The Sacred City was finished... So you all escaped. [Disappointing]

But this is what's become of you now.

[librorian]

Yes. We are human now.

[reallyburnsmeup]

What has happened? Such a large change, how?

[librorian]

We all died, one way or another. And this place brought us here just like the rest of the dead.

[reallyburnsmeup]

And that world? What of Her?

[librorian]

In the end, He fell back into Her embrace.

[reallyburnsmeup]

Oh- Oh, but that is wonderful!
