[His heart skips for a moment, and then- Dare he? Pure elation?]

Aslan!

You're alive! I knew you couldn't be gone, that you'd come back!

[aslandish]

[ Though the other cannot see it, Aslan smiles at the greeting. ]

There are many who have died, Joe Fieldman. [ Somehow, his voice seems deeper and richer than ever before. ] Myself included.

[ And yet- ]

Where light and hope remain, there I shall be also.

But you came back! I told Terra you couldn't stay gone. That you're too strong for the darkness.

[audio]

[aslandish]

My purpose is not yet ended.

The darkness will not always stay.

Re: [audio]

[madeinoblivion]

Do you have a plan to get rid of all the darkness, Aslan?

[audio]

[aslandish]

The time may come when such a thing shall happen.

It is those who live and abide here who must see the matter done.

Live and abide-

But that's all of us, right?

[audio]

[aslandish]

It is.

[audio]

[madeinoblivion]

Then what do we need to do?

[audio]

[aslandish]

To live every day holding to that which is true and right.

The path will reveal itself.

Re: [audio]

[madeinoblivion]

True and right... How do you know?

[audio]

[aslandish]

By seeking it with all your heart.

Re: [audio]

[madeinoblivion]

Okay. I'll try to seek it.
