Nies pulled the car to a stop as there was a response, reading the message, she sat back, wondering how someone could come into your life, and not know a single thing about you despite how they changed you. She sat for a few moments, pondering her options. She could do what she had always done, and just let it go. Or she could do what she wanted to do, and that was change the world. Right in that moment, she knew she could do it. 

After all, if even Eris didn't understand her, or had misjudged her, then no one would truly know what Cassandra was capable off, until she showed them. She drew in a deep breath, and carefully composed a response to Eris. 

[i]"There is more then one path to the same destination, Eris, and sometimes those paths cross. Ours has, but perhaps it is that our paths divide once more. 

You do not see risks to yourself, but rather those around you. Perhaps that is why you can't see that I am not as pure as you might think. Perhaps that is why you believe I am not cut out for this, but even before I met you, I was planning on undermining this game. 

Perhaps I have lost that, in my need to ensure you don't kill yourself. Or becoming coding and a vegetable. You think I will judge you for what was necessary to do, but I knew going into this that you are dangerous, and that didn't stop me. 

All my life, I've been overshadowed by my siblings, by others. Moving into a dorm, I thought I finally saw the light that had been deprived me, and then you cast your shadow over me, and I didn't look away, didn't look back to that brief light. Perhaps though, it is my shadow blinding you to me. 

I haven't run yet, why do you expect that I will? Have I backed down from anything, yet? What makes you think that I am not cut out for this? Is it perhaps that you have a fear you aren't truly cut out for it?

Its  my time to shine, and I am not going to let that go, not because you think I will destroy my life. Perhaps the truth is you are still misunderstanding me, and that I have understood you since the beginning. 

I will meet you, still. Because even though you think I am not suited for this, does not mean that I will let you risk yourself alone."[/i]

Reading the message, and rather pleased with it, Nies sent it, taking another deep breath, she started the car up again, and continued to drive. While she was alert for trouble, Nies couldn't help but admire her surroundings, and found herself content in what was happening. 

She wouldn't be underestimated again.
