[raayllum]

Now there will be no more half-truths, Terrestrius. What truths have I left out? What you taught those people was dark magic. You didn't save them. You corrupted them. You call it corruption. I call it compromise. There is great affinity between your brother and I. Callum sees the world as I do, understands the need for compromise. Very soon, your brother will embrace dark magic to save those he loves. Oh? I suppose you've seen that written in the stars? No, no. I have seen it written in his eyes.

White lies are illusions you build with your words to protect the hearts of those you love. / My heart... for Xadia!

But please believe me there is beauty in this burden. Your heart will be a little heavier, but now there will be no more half-truths, Terrestrius.

You forgave Zubeia. Who do you think sent Runaan to kill Dad? But somehow, you got past that. / I'm going to forgive you. I don't know how, but I have to try.

You knew. You knew this was the reward. Why didn't you tell me? Because I know you, Rayla. If I told you, you would've refused to go, because you never do anything for yourself.

It's manipulation, and it's wrong. I'll tell Claudia. Oh, it will change nothing. She loves me. I am her father now and she is my daughter.
