[@KioruxSesheema] Anya's warning of the return of the Lady seemed almost as if she was talking about a different person. The Lady seemed like a dark person to say the least. Lost was relieved to know that he was walking with Anya and not with the Lady. Lost began to wonder how good of graces he could get with this woman. She seemed willing to open to him and theirs could be a very lucrative relationship. The Lady was a character that Lost had not had much desire to associate with, but Anya was different and real, if he could call it that. Though beings like the Lady had their power, to often they sought power through destruction and fear. Anya seemed to enjoy life. It seemed she desired power as well, but enjoyed the game of obtaining it, as Lost does. Her next comments were absolutely true. [b][color=f26522]"No, you're fine with your implorations. They actually hit right on the mark. I noticed at a young age a lot of the younger Fey find their demise to carelessness and greed. Very few are simply unlucky, but there is nothing you can change about that. I take great consideration into my actions and the risks and the rewards they bring. I do love the King and he is certainly different from us, but at some point he is the same as well. We are all Fey together. At some point he was a young Fey and in ten thousand years one of us could be the ruler of the Fall Realm. I think we should certainly help each other, but we are competitors as well. It's a difficult and tricky game, but even the King plays it. I can't imagine how the King will fall, but time has told one story, and that story is that everything falls. I really don't wish it, but even if we became rulers our time would come as well. And it all comes because of greed, but there would be no game if there was no greed and life would be boring then."[/color][/b] He stated that last sentence almost happily. Lost was slightly proud of what he knew about greed and lust. Much of it he actually learned from the King himself. It was amazing how Falk could rule with fear and destruction, while similarly enjoying life and it's games. Even without split personalities as it seemed Anya might have. [b][color=f26522]"Knowledge is a great power, but it is available to all the Fey ready to accept it. Unfortunately it comes with responsibilities and not everyone wants those. The King may appear to be the embodiment of the Old Ones beliefs, but I believe that is because he is wise and shares them as well. So similarly in my eyes as you share those beliefs you are just as ready as he is to be a ruler, probably better than the Summer or Spring rulers right now if I say so myself."[/color][/b] Lost wasn't just blowing smoke here. He saw how the King should be protected, but also how rulers changed and someday one of the Fey around him would become ruler and he would give them the same respect he gives Falk now. Even Anya would receive his utmost respect should she become a ruler. As for the Spring and Summer rulers though, their actions were to sporadic and immature. They had Lost's respect as being more powerful than he, but as leaders he viewed them poorly.
