TEN. ✿ || [Video;] [Backdated to much earlier today]

[bufudynes]

[Mitsuru's kneeling next to her father's body, clinging to his eyepatch and shaking slightly. She can't seem to move, it's a miracle she can remember how to breath. All she can do is look at his lifeless body, fighting desperately to keep her tears back. There are other people there, figures that can't quite be made out, they're crowded around her

[He's confused by much of what he sees unfold, except that an obviously insane man is threatening to sacrifice them, and then...the one-eyed man must be her father...]

Mitsuru...I am sorry...

[bufudynes]

[She doesn't make any indication that she's heard him, instead she just struggles against the chains that are holding her up to the cross.]

Father!

[doesnotbrood]

[His heart goes out to her, but he doesn't really know what to do.

But he does know one thing. This place is much like the Fade.]

Mitsuru. You must hear me. This is not real. It is not happening.

[She blinks, the voice sounds familiar but...] Father? [The sound of a gun being fired can be heard and she flinches.]

| Video; |

[doesnotbrood]

[That sounded a lot like the weapons of the Qunari...]

No, Mitsuru. I am certainly not your father.

| Video; |

[bufudynes]

[She's blinking back tears, but she recognizes the voice. Or she thinks she does. She looks around and struggles against the chains again. Then a blast of bullets comes from Aigis, releasing them all from their chains up on the crosses. She runs over to her father's bleeding body.]

Father! [Her voice is laced with pure anguish.]

[doesnotbrood]

[There's a firm sense of wrongness at the situation, that he shouldn't be seeing any of this. But what was it? An illusion? Some other grand deception of this place?]

Your father is not dead at your side, Mitsuru.

[bufudynes]

[She hasn't started crying yet, she's struggling against the tears, trying to stay strong. That's what he'd want.]

[doesnotbrood]

Mitsuru, this is all a lie. It is not truth. It is more tricks of this place. You are strong. I know you know this to be true.

[bufudynes]

I...Fenris?

| Video; |

[doesnotbrood]

Yes. [Thank the Maker.] What is happening isn't real. Do you realize that now?

| Video; |

[bufudynes]

I...yes. It was real, but it's not this time.

| Video; |

[doesnotbrood]

I am very sorry for your loss. I... [A pause.] I cannot imagine.

| Video; |

[bufudynes]

[She blinks back tears, trying to be strong.] I did not want to live this ever again...

| Video; |

[doesnotbrood]

Nor should you have to. [He's really bad about this.] I'm sorry...

| Video; |

[bufudynes]

I'm sorry...
