the turth it no longer thrills me

[scinlae]

If your greatest enemy arrived here and you had a chance to make them pay for all that they have done, knowing that their death will only be temporary, would you do it? Would you take the chance? Or would you let them live?

[ It frustrates her, not knowing what to do now that he is here. On the one hand she wants to kill him, she wants to make him suffer; for lying to her, for poisoning her, for ruining every one of her plans. (It was him! It was always him!)

Yet on the other hand... on the other hand she doesn't, some lingering feelings want to forgive him. But can she? Does she have the capacity to forgive him after everything? ]

Could you forgive them? For all the harm they have caused to befall you? For all the loss and torment?

I find myself at a cross roads with no idea where to turn, however I want to pose these questions to you Paradisa.

What would you do?

[ Your heart is too kind ─ the words linger on her lips, threatening to spill out but never do. There is an amusing irony in her words that almost makes her laugh, almost. ]

I fear you may be wrong, my lady, I fear there is a time where forgiveness is no longer an option.

[inafadingcrown]

I do not believe that, my lady, and I cannot no matter how you protest. There are very few who are past all hope and you are not among them. You cannot erase the past, but you might rise above it.

Yes, I would have you spare him- for your sake, if nothing else. It is in your power to show restraint, mercy, and compassion. It is not an easy thing. It is not meant to be. But I believe you have the courage and the strength for it.

Or you might do what is simple. Wallow in your anger and hate. Strike out at him; it will not ease your suffering and, in the end, you will be no better than those who have wronged you. You could be so much more, Morgana.

[wilder]

Pretty much.

Though if there's a way found to make sure he doesn't come back after the first time, I'd pick that.

Morgana

[heloise]

Then why the hesitation, Morgana?

[cheerupemoborg]

I would certainly try. As for forgiveness... I doubt it.

[the_effect_she_has]

There are other ways to focus your anger. [She had to find quite a few of them, herself.] You might never find closure, but at least you can find some sense of peace.

[sawadeertoday]

[ Oh, hm. This sounds awfully familiar. And that, and only that, is what makes her dictate, ]

I never would have forgiven them initially. Although this castle has a tendency of forcing things on you- so your decision doesn't always matter, in the end.

I tried to kill my own. We ended up married.

[ Rather matter of factly. ]

You have to be ready to deal with your enemy multiple times if you actually kill them, though.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

And you think killing whoever you've got this beef with is gonna satisfy you now?

[emboldens]

[ Is she wrong? Perhaps, but she has also known more than her fair share of loss and tragedy, so it's from experience that she speaks. ]

If this is such a time..

Then why does it bother you so?

[onlyanapple]

That depends on how much you think your conscience can handle it, I suppose. Killing someone, it stays with you for the rest of your life, regardless of if it's temporary or not.

[solowingpixy]

[His reading of this entry and snooping on the resulting responses would teach him something new, on top of having a topic that grabs his attention.]

Death is temporary here, huh? [What a cop-out.]

If that's the case, unless he's actively out to kill you as well, then I fail to see the point in attempting to carry out empty acts of revenge.

Though I would not seek to do so myself in this place.

[vengefully]

It would be pointless to kill them here— but I doubt I could forgive them.

[scinlae]

No, not completely. The satisfaction maybe be sweet but it won't last, it will be short lived.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Then use your head and come up with something that'll be a little more satisfying. C'mon, you're a witch. You're supposed to be good at this.

[scinlae]

Why should I show him mercy when he did not show me a sliver of it?!

[ For Morgana does not remember the look on his face, Morgana does not remember the way he held her as her throat tightened and her breath was ripped from her, she does not remember how much it hurt him to do what he did. To her it was a betrayal, clean and simple, he poisoned her.

She tires of this, tires of it quickly. Her words ring true but Morgana is too angry now to properly listen to them. ]

I do not need you lecturing me on what I already know, I am tired of it and frankly have no stomach for it!

Goodbye Galadriel.

[ AND SHE SLAMS HER JOURNAL SHUT. Oh my god leave her alone. ]

[inafadingcrown]

[That's alright. She's will just keep talking when she can and hope that some of it filters through over time. Because she cares, damn it.]

[scinlae]

[ She scoffs. ]

Perhaps, perhaps not.

[scinlae]

A shame we have not found one for certain.

Lucrezia

[scinlae]

Perhaps because a part of me that once cared for him has yet to fully die.

[the_effect_she_has]

Hey, give it a try. You never know.

[She sure as hell didn't.]

Damon

[scinlae]

[ S I G H. Hang on let her filter this. ]

It would be far more simple if he was not a sorcerer Damon, I would curse him and be done with it, but I cannot.

[ Oddly enough this is a welcomed subject change for her. ]

Indeed it is, the balance is upset and twisted. It is likely because this place requires us to remain alive, so it goes out of it's way to ensure that we remain that way; even if that means distorting the impact of death itself.

[scinlae]

[ She falls silent and remains that way for some time. ]

I do not know, perhaps part of me still cares.

Renaissa-- no jk Morgana

[untilmydarknessgoes]

And you can't get more creative beyond your magic?

[Sing-song:] I'm disappointed...

[ensorceler]

[ Just... Mind, blown! You know, if this wasn't a dream. ]

Is the promise of immortality the reason all here have let themselves go mad with arrogance?
