"Are you honestly crying?" She asks.

"No, of course not. These are not tears but my own blood you have spilled. Along with others." I hiss.

"A worthy sacrifice for peace." She asks.

"Peace? Are you insane?" I ask.

"I'm righteous. This world is chaos and you know it." She pokes my head.

"I know there are flaws chaos is a strong word lady." I spit blood in her face.

She calmly wipes it.

"You cause chaos in your past; did it fill you with glee for hurting the others who looked down upon you?" She asks.

I look down.

"Yes... a bit, but unlike you, I learned." I say.

"I learned as well, monsters like you and I need to rise up from the tyranny of men and gods." She says.

"You learned nothing, and you know nothing." I say.

"And yet I stand higher than you." She rises.

I let out a breath.

"There will be no salvation for you. There will be no one coming." She says.

 "I have a family." I say.

"Who would have sacrificed you without hesitation." She says.

"You're wrong." I say. 

"Am I?" She creates images around us.

I see myself and their disdain. I look down. In the past, I acted like a mere child. I remember fighting with my mom. I see past memories. Memories I should have long forgotten or at least I hoped to forget. I let out a sigh as she shows me tormenting them and when I learned who I really am. I feel pain burning in my chest. No... no... I tug the vines. I feel pain flashing in my body. I grip my eyes.

"Please... stop." I say.

"Does it bother you?" She asks.

I look down. I turn my head. 

"See? You're just as monstrous as I am."  She whispers in my ear.

She slides her talons down my cheek.

"I know." I sigh.
