As she walks through its crumbled halls to be alone with her thoughts.] >>> >>>No matter how much I fought, the things I gave, the blame I took, how amicably I worked with these mages. I tried to explain... I openly confessed, but in the end, it was always never enough. Instead, the city is led by those who worship knowledge and truth, yet keep all their sins a secret. >>> >>>In these weeks of exile, I came to a number of revelations. >>> >>>If I had died in Dark Lake, Alonzo and Cilantro would be alive, and those who hate Mytherians wouldn’t have a new city and powers. If I had died in the Silent Faces, Lucien would still have his armor and Captain Ariel would have lived. The truth is plain to see, if I had died with my fathers, everyone I love would be better off. >>> >>>I understand so much now. I understant why Oloken’hai simply laughed at me when I pleaded for help fulfilling my impossible dream. Of building a family of my own, living day by day in a community built with my friends, caring for each other's children to shape the future of our faith and culture, to live in the light of my brothers and sisters. Foolish daydreams of a stupid little girl asking for far too much! >>> >>>[Thorne feels at the memory of a bracelet and rosary around her wrists, painfully aware of every severed thread, every loss.] >>>I struggled and bled for my prismatic visions time and time again. What little I won, cruel adherents of peace, truth and forgiveness snatched away. >>> >>>Deep in my heart, I wished to Right my Wrongs, but… not even wishes can fix my mistakes. >>>Hope is a lie, a bittersweet poison I drank from again and again. I dreamed and endeavored to make it manifest by my hand, but I always made things worse. I picked myself off the bloody floor of failure again and again. I loved, I hoped, I tried, I gave my all. It wasn’t enough. >>>------- >>> >>>"Thorne, I rescued Mytheria from the Wastes. Once I am done at the Wall I'll meet you in Noda for peace talks for Mytherians." >>> >>>[As if summoned by her yearning, one of the last people who would care about her knocks on the door to her mind.

An indigo flame speaks recollections of her wishes and visions. >>> >>>“A single ethical truth that stands above all else. All creatures need Hope, good, evil, lawful, chaotic, undecided, or not. >>> >>>You who wished for Hope for them. You who wished to Right your Wrongs by them. >>>You who wishes to be freed from this life of suffering caused by them. >>> >>>The answer is made clear. Clear as rain, as water, as glass. >>> >>>It is only You.” >>> >>>Reborn the Dark Star of Despair, empowered by broken faith and a prismatic light-fueled wish, a demon of blood and chain and shattered glass bursts forth to rampage across Corvanis. A bloody rejoicing that she is finally freed of the bindings of love, finally free to do anything, blissfully splattering blood across her dress in the dance of battle. Finally free to speak her mind and tear into those who hurt her, who burdened her, who abandoned her! >>> >>>An unstable timeline where possibility splits and tangles and rips tears haphazardly through Raquel’s thankless work, thankfully averted by a special patch of Yellow holding together something better. >>> >>>The timeline where the Yellow light of the prism transported a hero to his needed place, just in time to rescue prismatic maidens from the clutches of demons. >>> >>>The Saint of Valor’s glistening wings ride the golden light of the sunset to embrace the Maiden of Broken Glass. He holds her tight through her cries of surprise in order to squeeze out her tears and darkness, for he is the light that shines through her jagged edges to fill the world around them with all the wonderous Colors that make life worth living. >>> >>>Within their embrace, the colors sing of the truth revealed through her visions. >>> >>>“Hope is in each and every person of Corvanis. Hope is the possession guaranteed to all, even those who have fallen most.” >>> >>>The answer shines bright, as the rainbow after the storm, as the sun glistening across the lake, as starlight through the prism. >>> >>>“It is You, and the companions at your side!” The indigo echoes in the chorus. >>> >>>Together they live happily ever after, avenging their captain, regaining what was lost, raising three precious children while opening their future through knowledge and visions.Perhaps, I might elaborate in future writings... >>> >>>As time marches forward, He shines as the Enduring Sun of Sorrowsoul, Hero of Corvanis, even as he long outlives her and their children, she is the Clear Star guiding him forward, looking out for and all her people even long after she can no longer hold them in her arms. >>> >>>Raquel hushes the part of her that frets over the yellow manipulation of time, for she has a soft spot for a happy ending. >>> >>>.•°☆.⋆｡⋆☆•˚｡⋆｡˚•☆˚｡⋆.☆•.⋆ >> >>>[!info|no-i clean]- ### Epilogue III - Character Direction >>>Thorne largely recluses herself away in the cold, desolate ruins of Sorrowsoul, mourning her life, purging herself of magic, and keeping herself busy restoring the village. Gideon arrives and coaxes her from her despair with the patience and dedication of a golden retriever. >>> >>>He encourages her not to give up, to accept knowledge, though knowledge hurt her so much, through the gentle, compassionate approach of Runetheras, and to hone her seer's ability in the tower. >>> >>>A saintess of truth in her own way: casting down deception, shattering lies, starting with telling Fulgrim about Cilantro and the people of Noda about the party's previous service to the saint and the church despite their gleeful chastising of her service to hopefully open things better for Mythos' negotiations if they trouble her efforts in building her home. >>> >>>She rebuilds Sorrowsoul, lonely as it may be, and ferociously guards it and Noda from demons, demoniacs, and those who are protected by demons such as Vavren followers. >>> >>>"Vavren knows what he did, he can try to earn My forgiveness, and he can pay in blood." >>> >>>-Through blood. toil, and sacrifice, regain blindsight and make her bloody fighting style her own. >>> >>>She is afraid to make those she loved see her again after so much failure, terrified to show her face anywhere near the pale city, yet she eventually resolves to hunt down Bobina, to track down the armor and try to repent to Lucien, Kylos, and others she disgraced, and avenge Ariel, perhaps with Gideon by her side. She does not do this for forgiveness, she does not expect it, she does this because it is right, because they deserve better, and deserve their own chance to judge her. >>> >>>thorne does not pray to mytheria, and hasnt since she accepted mytheria is dead, it makes no sense why mytheria would be in touch with her >>> >>>-Rebuild Sorrowsoul, and, build a family with Gideon >>> >>>-Monica is welcome to visit Sorrowsoul and share a humble fire as she rebuilds Sorrowsoul, perhaps sharing what the others are up to, and possibly repairing the cracks between Thorne and the party members that stay in Noda. >>> >>>Axel: It isnt hard to find Thorne cleaning and rebuilding the adjacent Sorrowsoul herself, and though she is difficult to talk to as ever, she does support your journey and give you the ghost chain and what she can spare, and a letter for a Lord Saltspire commending your strength, and encouraging him to hire you onto a trade vessel between the continents, so that you get to where you are going and maybe get a bit of coin and combat. She will clarify that it may not work, she has been out of touch with him for over a year now, but it may help. >>> >>>Telry: Thorne grasps Telry's friendship bracelet close when Gideon brings it to her. It takes her a while to sort her feelings, and accept that he changed. That she changed. That he was right in some ways. That she was a fool who couldn't stop him. That he probably moved on. She would keep his bracelet safe on the altar of mourning, to the Telry she lost, near her remnants of Roy and Ariel and others gone forever. Perhaps if he came by, he would be welcome. Undoubtedly awkward as the two sit over a warm drink and meet eachother for who they became. That even though they changed... They look at each other, and see- 'it is still you' >> >>>[!info|no-i clean]- ### Sorrowsoul >>>SorrowSoul is a cold town made by the sweat of Thorne and whatever other splinter Mytherians that came there. The land is cold, the food is tasteless, the weather harsh, and the people doubly so. Stubborn to many faults. >>> >>>SorrowSoul, where "The Maiden's tears freeze upon her cheek." where oaths and litany are carved into stones underfoot, a foundation upon which we thrive.
