Innocence

[thelostseraph]

Ahh . . .  Where . . . Where is this?

. . . Riviera?  Is this Riviera?  But there aren't any Sprites.  Very few demons, too.  Or even angels.  I suppose that doesn't really leave much choice, then.  Some sort of mythical race, perhaps?

Or maybe -- Could this be a final test?  The procedure was to be tomorrow.  I had thought the Magi were satisfied

Lord Ledah? What test do you speak of?

[thelostseraph]

Tests to determine whether I am fit or not for my duties . . .

You know me as well, miss? I am pleased that I do not appear to be lacking in companionship in the future -- emotionless or no.

[eccentricsniper]

What duties would those be, milord?

I'm afraid that we had only just met a few days ago. You are aware of what is happening? You know you're younger, somehow?

[thelostseraph]

Yes. I am not too worried, though. This place feels . . . peaceful, somehow. I do not mind spending the last moments of my life as I know it here.

[eccentricsniper]

It is peaceful here.

The last moments of your life? Forgive me, but I do not understand.

[thelostseraph]

Ah . . . Just a figure of speech. Tomorrow, I am to exchange my emotions for the greatest honor that may be bestowed upon an angel. I imagine my life will be considerably different.

[eccentricsniper]

Your emotions? I see... now I believe I understand.

What honor is it?

[thelostseraph]

. . . It is a bit of a secret at the moment, but I don't suppose it really matters here. The transformation into a Grim Angel, those with powers to surpass even the Magi -- I shall be the first in nearly a thousand years.

[eccentricsniper]

The Grim Angel? That sounds... so sad, and lonely.

Is that why your wings are a different color?

[thelostseraph]

Oh, no. I assure you, it is a great honor . . . And yes. A Grim Angel is marked by his black wings.

((Ack, sorry, LJ told me it ate my comment. >.< I deleted the other one.))

Forgive my disrespect, but I don't think there is anything worth trading your emotions for, milord.

[thelostseraph]

You as well? I have already discussed this in length with another.

I assure you, I do not mind. Even if I did, I would have no other choice -- To change my mind would be to doom both myself and my world.

[eccentricsniper]

You are giving up your emotions to save your world? That's very heroic, but... then what of you?

I must admit, I'm not sure what to say.

[thelostseraph]

It is the will of the gods that I do so. My own desires do not matter in this decision.

[eccentricsniper]

Is there truly nothing that you can do?
