I know what it is to build yourself around that hunger. That rage of loss. I know it. I feel it too.
Do you believe in destiny? You must, I think. On some level, you must. If you feel so strongly for them that it was only the desire to avenge them saved you from death and despair, you must know that is only the beginning of what that anger can do. You will find them. Wherever they have been hidden. No matter what stands in your way. Even if you have to tear the universe apart to do it. You will find them. That fire in your heart will be satisfied with nothing less.
[ It's not a terribly long time until her next reply. Ten minutes, fifteen maybe. Less than he might expect. ]
Thank you, Kylo.
[ and another, only another minute or two later ]
No one's ever said it like that.
[ The other gods have sang it into her head, of course: the glory of power and rebellion and struggle. But that was inspiration, not diagnosis. Sure performing that was all well and good, but outside of performances, there had been the wagging fingers, the dismissal, "you'll-regret-this," "you're better than this," "don't." What good is inspiration if you don't have the courage to follow through on what you preach?
Her friends have been alternately afraid for her, and of her. None of the living had understood that it was her inexorable hatred that had delivered them from Ananke. Inanna and Luci had accepted all of her, but not even they quite truly understood the strength of hers that was made of pain.
Not like Kylo did. ]
I know, right? I know she never would have given them up. We can't get the truth like you can but I fucking wish I still had her alive right now
