==>

As one witch leaves, the body of another awakens.

The Mage of Doom is consumed by despair, The Page of Hope by elation. Equally pacifying, presenting me the briefest of windows to complete my task— though it is destined to fail.

Three corrections have been made, four remain; Three trolls and one remnant of the Fledgling Witch's experiments.

I will only manage to dispose of the remnant before my return is discovered, after which I will be too preoccupied with interference from the human gods to continue my work.

The Witch of Space, gaining control of a mortal vessel to wield, will arrive to reveal me completely.

It will be first time I have heard my own name in years.

Although I will accept my defeat, the consequences of stagnation I sought to prevent will only have been delayed.

The survivors of a universe long dead have made many past attempts to breach, each ending in failure.

Until now.

Someone has invited something they cannot dream of containing.

==> MAGE: DIE. AGAIN.

If someone has to, it might as well be you.

Melodramatic, you know, but try floating around with a hollow midsection and see how grounded you feel.

The delayed revival process at least had the courtesy to numb your open wound as it attempted to heal the internal damage, but the sheer emptiness was still weird to feel.

Apparently you'd become an incubator for a more cooperative vessel once your mind guests realized you intended to keep them sealed, a fact only uncovered when they attempted to hatch it too early. Desperation, if you had to guess, since they were moments away from being banished via whatever ritual Equius had set up.

You hadn't really followed things up, too preoccupied with the whole dying and all, but Sephone seemed confident in him.

All things considered, it worked out. You just had to take it easy, let the healing sort itself out.

Maybe relax for once.

❝ You never were good at this, were you? Feelings. ❞

❝ I was six, so. ❞

❝ You're not six anymore. So what are you doing? ❞

❝ ... ❞

❝ Is it because Fefe- ❞

❝ No. ❞

❝ I'm glad you are so sure. I suppose you did meet her before that all happened. ❞

❝ What are you even getting at? ❞

❝ I was still a fresh scorch mark on the meteor floor when you two set up in the horn pile. ❞

❝ It wasn't like that.❞

❝ No, I suppose we never really knew what it was like. ❞

❝ ... ❞

❝ So. What is this like? ❞

❝ Man, I don't know. ❞

❝ I think you do. ❞

❝ .. She's my friend. I want her to be happy? ❞

❝ She wants more than you want to give her. Will she be happy when she figures that out? ❞

❝ ... Probably not. ❞

❝ I think you are treating her like a barkbeast in its final perigees, just giving her whatever you think will make her happy because any day could be the one she dies too. ❞

❝ Y'know what? Come find me when you're finished getting on my case every five goddamn minutes. ❞

==> AFTER ALL ...

Success is far sweeter when you work for it.

Though this hardly qualifies as work.

It's more a bit of belated spring cleaning.
