It doesn't take long for her to realize why the winged woman has been coming to her, speaking to her in riddles, showing her her deserted home near the rocky rings of Saturn, (the deep of space is very beautiful from there. That she doesn't mind at all).

However, she doesn't know, exactly, what the answer to the question the woman has been posing is. "Am I truly good? Do I truly belong to the light? ...Or..." the alternative is too terrible to consider beyond those first fleeting thoughts.

Those memories of being "The Feared One," the "Forbidden One," earned, as she did horrible things... but to cleanse, to renew. She was asked. That was her mission.

"This child, will she be Awakened again?..." her parents had discussed fearfully between themselves earlier this year, thinking she wouldn't listen. She was too young. She was Awake now, and the very first thing she had said to them, seeing the shock and brimming despair on their faces, was "I'm not the same person, anymore." She didn't say it to reassure them. And though she is not that person, that last resort to destroy evil, even if it destroyed... everything else along with her... she can't help but think that perhaps she should consider what the Singing Woman urges her to. That perhaps, this is not her true path.

She sits in a chair, askance from the fireplace.
