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!

[librorian]

...

[reallyburnsmeup]

Rejoice Aiden, it is a fitting end.

[librorian]

I will not--!

[ugh, starting to smile anyway]

[reallyburnsmeup]

[Clasps his hands. They're still burning, but not at the scalding heat it was]

Mother and Father made up~ Isn't that a cause for celebration?

[librorian]

[that's not a command so he tries to twitch his hands away]

IT also meant the final death of our world! Its time had come, but it is still worth mourning!

[reallyburnsmeup]

[Falters, confusion playing across her face for a moment, and allowing him to pull away] All things have their time.

[librorian]

Of course. I am the god of history, after all. And Sabra's end was long overdue.

[reallyburnsmeup]

It was the way it had to be. Isn't that... The end that was always coming.

[librorian]

Yes.

[reallyburnsmeup]

And yet we all still live on.

[librorian]

... yes.

[reallyburnsmeup]

[Eyes him for a moment, looping a thread of fire through her fingers]
