⠀⠀⠀⠀It felt like putting a muzzle
⠀⠀⠀⠀on her gift. Humiliating and
⠀⠀⠀⠀akin to a rejection.
⠀⠀⠀” How do you plan on getting
⠀⠀⠀⠀there ? It is very far , and the
⠀⠀⠀⠀trip is anything but short . “
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀” Very well . . . can you drop the
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀barrier now ? “
⠀⠀The barrier in question referring
⠀⠀to this- space she’d trap them in.
⠀⠀Suppressing her powers. Truth be
⠀⠀told, she didn’t like it.

ㅤㅤ
To see it with my own eyes. You already know where I am so there's no need for me to hide anymore ❞
. . . until she leaves again. After that, Ronova will be once more clueless as to where the Ruler of Space is.
❝ Come on, lets have some tea. ❞
ㅤㅤ

⠀⠀⠀This could very well be the last
⠀⠀⠀time they embrace like this.
⠀⠀” It’s overgrown and dusty now ,
⠀⠀⠀only the other Shades go there ,
⠀⠀⠀to drop off things they find
⠀⠀⠀interesting . “
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀A wave of disappointment fell into
⠀⠀her shoulders hearing her words.
⠀She was serious about this, despite
⠀Ronova’s insistence this was a
⠀terrible mistake.
⠀She couldn’t bring herself to let go.

Rotten and corrupted by the Heavenly Principles. . . and by Rhinedottir.
Slowly pulling away, a hand once more resting upon Ronova's cheek, thumb caressing it gently.
❝ I wish to come back to my Temple. Perhaps we could share a cup of tea like we used to ❞
ㅤㅤ
⠀
⠀” Do not make claims like that
⠀⠀lightly . If you insist on refusing to
⠀⠀be a Shade , such accusations are
⠀⠀punishable only by death . “
⠀⠀⠀⠀Her gaze briefly averted.
” Though I suppose that’s inevitable . “

Still keeping Ronova in her arms, Asmoday slowly pulled back just a bit.
❝ I know it's probably foolish of me. . . but do you want to come with me? I. . . want to visit my home again ❞
ㅤㅤ
⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀” Please . . . return to us ,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Asmoday . I cannot allow
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ the humans to raise their
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ weapons against you . “
⠀⠀⠀Red nails sank into her back,
⠀⠀⠀refusing to remove themselves.

⠀
⠀⠀⠀You will not be spared their
⠀⠀⠀fury . And when the Descender’s
⠀⠀⠀sibling finds you , their blade will
⠀⠀⠀meet your neck . We won’t be
⠀⠀⠀able to protect you when that
⠀⠀⠀day comes .
⠀⠀⠀Are you sure this is wise ? “
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀” Your absence exposes your
⠀⠀⠀ignorance , Asmoday . We
⠀⠀⠀already know the Tsarista plots
⠀⠀⠀against Celestia , and its
⠀⠀⠀ancient director , a
⠀⠀⠀colleague of Rhinedottr. “

ㅤㅤ
Listening to me, I will take my leave, but before I do so, I'll give you a warning. Snezhnaya plots against you. . . and it's ruler is supported by one of your colleagues ❞

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀She extended a hand to her.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀” Humanity will never accept
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ you . In their eyes , you are
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ eternally the monster who
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ destroyed an entire
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ kingdom at a god’s whim .
↓↓
⠀
⠀She struggled to not think
⠀⠀⠀about her, especially given the
⠀⠀⠀subject matter.
⠀⠀” Your desire to overthrow the
⠀⠀⠀established order will cost us
⠀⠀⠀all dearly . What gives you the
⠀⠀⠀right to gamble our world on a
⠀⠀⠀Descender ? “
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀” 𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔’𝐕𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐄 ?! “
⠀⠀⠀At the very mention of this, that
⠀⠀⠀sweltering fury reignited. The
⠀⠀⠀domain holding them began to
⠀⠀⠀tremble and wilt.

ㅤㅤ
Abyss Order because I watched and protected the other sibling. I wish to see the Heavenly Principles defeated for their cruelty and tyrannical rule, yes, but I did not join the Abyss Order ❞
ㅤㅤ
⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀” If you allow one to peer into
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀the Abyss , more will follow .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀An army of mortals seduced
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀by sin will rise from the dark ,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀clinging to world shattering
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀power . Naberius knows . “
