<Snipped quote by Nimda>

As if people don’t exist elsewhere. There are plenty of powerless worlds out there for bad people to experiment on. She chose to save instead of harm.

@Valiance

She intends to soon after you leave my lair. That is, if she were to leave alive.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

You mean the heart she didn’t have yet when she argued with me about it? That heart?

@Valiance

There was no way to test the scope and scale of her ability without subjects to use it on.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

I’ve seen and heard about all the bad things she has done. What you’re failing to acknowledge is something she even displayed just moments ago, when she saved people even I believed couldn’t be. If you tell me there’s nothing to be redeemed in that, then I know you’re lying.

@Valiance

She aimed to test the limits of her new heart—that is all. The same reason she continues to hold that power in her hand to this moment.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

I know as much.

@Valiance

You can see what she wants you to see. Your position is very different than my own.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Why can’t you lie? Why should I believe that?

@Valiance

That question is an endless spiral in pursuit of truth. I can see her entire history, and her tortured life caught between her people and the creatures she despises.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Right. And the reason I am to believe I’m not being manipulated by the namesake “Mind Dragon” would be what exactly?

@Valiance

I can reveal truth and sow division, but I cannot lie. Your companion is far more wicked than I.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Stays wary of any further change in my surroundings, of any threats or such making themselves apparent*

@Valiance

*My voice emits from one side of you and then the other with each sentence as the scenery rolls along the wind of my breath like a detailed vapor*
She's hidden her true nature from you. A monster who's consumed as much of her own kind as she has mine. I can offer a means to put the heavenly one to a deeper slumber that she cannot.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

All the people most worth saving are the people you would think aren’t worth the time of day at all.

@Valiance

Then may the scales deliver their judgement!
*The red mist once again fills the chamber, but starts to dissipate to sunshine*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Taps my chin*
We’re probably even by now.

@Valiance

Is she worth saving, the freer of the unknowable beast and destroyer of both her own kinds?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

It doesn’t matter if she has.

@Valiance

What do you owe her?
