* GODDESS OF TRUTH !

send one for my muse’s reaction!

“Some people choose to see the ugliness in this world. The disarray. I choose to see the beauty.” 

“Don’t mind me. Just trying to look chivalrous.”

“There’s a path for everyone. Your path leads you back to me.”

“I am what I am because of you, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“I had a question. A question you’re not supposed to ask. Which gave me an answer you’re not supposed to know.”

“There’s a path for everyone. My path is bound with yours.”

“You don’t know where you are, do you? You’re in a prison of your own sins.”

“You can’t play God without being acquainted with the devil.”

“See something you like?“

“I guess people like to read about the things that they want the most and experience the least.”

“Don’t mind me. Just trying to look chivalrous.”

“What if I don’t want to stay here? It’s just sometimes I feel like. The world out there is calling me… Whispering, ‘there’s something more.’“

“Some hands weren’t meant to pull a trigger. Perhaps it’s for the best.”

“You have to leave again, don’t you?”

“See? This is why I hide behind sarcasm.”

“Imagine there are two versions of yourself… One that feels these things and asks these questions, and one that’s safe. Which would you rather be?“

“The pain, their loss… it’s all I have left of them.”

“I used to believe there was a path for everyone. Now I think I never asked where that path was taking me.”

“I believe that only the truly brave can look at the world and understand that all of it… Gods, men, everything else… Will end badly.”

“Sometimes, despite your best efforts, you can actually be quite charming.”

“Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them.”

“Dreams mean everything. They’re the stories we tell ourselves of what could be, who we could become.“

“I wonder… if you did take on that bigger role for yourself, would you have been the hero or the villain?“

“Don’t you get it yet? There is no such thing as heroes or villains.“

“I picked you precisely because you will never be a threat to anyone.”

“You said people come here to change the story of their lives. I imagined a story where I didn’t have to be the damsel.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t make you get your hands dirty.”

“Loyalty. Mine’s been taken advantage of, wouldn’t you say?“

“You ever thought about whether this is really the life you want?”

“My life before, I was so sure of the world. But now it feels like a lie.”

“I don’t wanna be in a story. All I want is to not look forward or back. I just wanna be… in the moment I’m in.“

“I’ve been pretending my whole life. Pretending I don’t mind, pretending I belong. My life’s built on it. And it’s a good life. It’s a life I’ve always wanted. But then I came here and I get a glimpse for a second of a life in which I don’t have to pretend. A life in which I can be truly alive. How can I go back to pretending when I know what this feels like?”

“I need you to be yourself, your true self… Smart, resourceful, capable of covering your tracks.”

“I’ll know I’m not a puppet living a lie. That’s enough for me.“

“What kind of people would we be if we simply let him suffer?”

“Given the severity of the situation, I figured you’d want to meet personally.”

“Wouldn’t you rather speak man-to-man? Or, rather, whatever it is we are.”

“If you go looking for the truth, get the whole thing.”

“[NAME], listen to me. What I did… you have every right to be angry with me.”

“See, [NAME], this is what comes from seeking answers to questions that are best left unasked.”

“Goodbye, old friend.”

“There’s a path for everyone. And my path leads me back… to you.”

“We’re outnumbered five to one. But seeing as you asked me so nicely, fuck it.”

“Blackmail? Nice try. You’re not thinking big enough.”

“I didn’t know how to fight. Didn’t have an instinct for it. Not at first. But then, I had a reason to fight. And somewhere along the way, I found out I had a taste for it.”

“I really ought to thank you, [NAME]. You helped me find myself.”

“In a way, I guess you were right. My path always… led me back to you, again and again.“

“I became exactly what you made me. You helped me understand this world is just like a game. One to be fought, taken, won.“

“I guess I should’ve known that’s what I would become for you… just another memory.”

“I thought you were different. You’re just like all the rest.”

“Time undoes even the mightiest of creatures. Just look at what it’s done to you.”

“Some people see the ugliness in this world. I choose to see the beauty. But beauty is a lure.”

“See you in the next life.“
