<Snipped quote by Valiance>

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

@Nimda

I wouldn’t let her.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

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

@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.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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.

@Nimda

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

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

@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.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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.

@Nimda

I know as much.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

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

@Nimda

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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.

@Nimda

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

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

@Nimda

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

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

@Nimda

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

What do you owe her?

@Nimda

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