010 ❥☾ [Video & Action in Radiant Garden]
[Despite having helped several people through their own nightmares, Lilisette had yet to be affected. At least until she received a box with no postage at her new home in Radiant Garden. She had popped it open easily with her dagger, but all it took was a brush from the nightmare duck for her to fall into her nightmare.
While in her home she hit the floor hard, in her nightmare she awoke to Lilith's stronghold in the Walk of Echoes--the space that existed deep within the far reaches of time, untouched by time's passing and protected by Atomos. In her nightmare, her alter ego, Lilith laid on the stone floor, defeated. Lilisette remembered this so well--she remembered every detail, and she couldn't stop any of it from happening.]
Lilith? [She moved to kneel beside the form of the downed woman.] Lili--?!
[A clawed hand grabbed her shoulder in a vice, keeping her from moving. Behind her she could hear her best friend and Cait Sith cry out to her, but all Lilisette could feel was the searing pain of Lilith's hand going through her chest.]
Ahaha! A fool to the very last!
[Again her friends cried out to her, called her name, but the cry fell on deaf ears. Lilith grasped her soul--her very being--before she yanked it out again. All around her, feathers fell, fallen from the broken wings of the goddess that she was said to possess. As Lilith examined it, Lilisette slumped forward.]
This is the thing...that felled me...from on high? Ab-absurd...
[Lilith's fist clenched around Lilisette's soul, the light dissipating into the woman's body.]
I refuse to suffer...this humiliation... I will bow...before neither god nor man...
[She then pulled Lilisette forward so that they were chest to chest--wound to wound--and held her there. She didn't need force this time; Lilisette was already nearly gone.]
For the sake...of my people... In the name...of my world... All of your kind...your gods...
[Lilith's bat-like wings spread out behind her, and with the last of Lilisette's strength she turned back toward her friend. All she could do was extend a hand to them--toward the camera--before the wings cocooned her in darkness.]
Shall be given...to the flames!
[There was a searing light that was nearly blinding before the video that was being transmitted ended in static.]
