But I'll miss you!

[hok_ton]

I doubt you would miss me if you knew what I really am, child. It is better if you are no longer exposed to my corruption.

[bonywings]

Don't be stupid. You were good to me, and you will continue being so.

[hok_ton]

My master no longer requires my assistance. It is time for me to go.

But...I imagine I will miss our conversations.

[bonywings]

Of course you should! That's why we won't stop having them! I forbid it!

[hok_ton]

Child...perhaps it is difficult for you to understand, but I have been looking forward to this moment for a long, long time. I have finally repaid my debt, and can sleep. 20,000 years is too long for a human to live.

[bonywings]

I don't want you to leave me... Everyone leaves me.

[hok_ton]

Death, and the death of those one cares about, is an inevitable fact of life. You have many other friends on the community, they will be there for your far longer than I can.

[bonywings]

Why aren't you fighting against it?!

[hok_ton]

Because I have lived for far to long, Kanna. I have seen all my closest friends die, and seen everything I cared for destroyed. I have charted over ten thousand civilizations and visited countless more. There is little I have not seen or experienced, little more I could dream of beyond and end with dignity.

Let me rest, child. It is all I desire.

[bonywings]

...That's not... I'm sorry.

No need to be. I have done and seen amazing things in my time. It is simply enough now.

Kanna, you have lightened my life and reminded me of feelings I had forgotten. Thank you, for everything.

[bonywings]

You're welcome. I... I truly hope this gives you peace.

I have been behind the veil once before. It will fulfill my desires.

[bonywings]

...I will allow you to go.

Re: [Locked]

[hok_ton]

I doubt you could stop me.

But thank you.
