Edo-Karn || Outside the Grand Magic Games Stadium
@CirusArvennicus@CaitsKarn stopped and turned her head to glare toward Sasha.
"You were also the one to basically say my Guild was different, and I distinctly remember several reasons why I was bad tempered when it came to the possible safety of my family. Namely Ben and Sammy. Back then, you didn't even bother to understand why we did things. You thought we weren't trying. You thought we weren't willing to sacrifice. You made your own assumptions. But in reality, you never had a right nor the knowledge, nor the thing that made us a family. The pain, the happiness... That's why I was bad tempered. Because my family was in danger, insulted, the people who sacrificed just as much to help you, just because you didn't see what they have done. Also the life time of war kind of makes you cranky. I know what happened to me, to Jamie, to Sasha.... they all suffered. And they all tried their best, even if you don't see it. Don't pretend you wouldn't or feel the same way if I said the same thing to you back when you were in Edolas. You can make as much excuses as you want. But your guild is NOT mine. We may have the same face, we may have the same mark, we may even have the same name, but that does not make us the same. Your guild does not have the same memories, the same people, the things that had us bonded. Nor do you have the same ideals that was apparent by your Guild's actions." she said coldly before fully turning toward her and moved closer, speaking softly so it was harder to hear.
She knew she shouldn't lose her cool like this, despite how calm she did sounded, she could feel just... inner turmoil. Perhaps because she knew she was truly alone. Despite what this Sasha said... Sasha wasn't alone. She couldn't understand. She even had the love of her life beside her. Despite how much he was a idiot. Karn had no one. In a sense, she was happy. She was happy her friends and family were home. Not trapped in unfamiliar territory. Yet a part of her wanted to be selfish. Wanted someone.... anyone of them... with her. She wanted Jamie... and Jarvis... to tell her it would be okay. Even if it was a lie. She wanted Trinity to cheer her up when she was feeling down... she wanted Mayat to talk some sense into her.... she wanted to Ben to ask her questions... she wanted Sammy to put flowers in her hair... she wanted Sasha...
They weren't here though. Just ghosts.
"Your Karn, he needs my soul. He never really died because of his sickness. He just kept dying because he died years ago, and he would just keep dying. The one who is helping him, just never gave him the medication because dying of sickness was better then dying by burning alive, shot through the head, skewered through the heart, or worse. His soul is weak, he has no will to live. While mine, I do. I want to keep living for my family. If my soul leaves his body, so will all that determination to live, and he will die. My soul is supposed to work well with his because I'm his counterpart and the most like him. The process isn't fully completed but it's a type of forbidden magic. But in a sense. One of our souls will eventually devour the other. Your Karn didn't put up a fight, but I have enough control not to completely devour it. Karn will be fully cured if his soul devours mine. I will be erased from existence, basically used as a sacrifice to replace his death and resurrect him. Or make it like he never did die. At least, that's what I think most of the magic pixie dust I heard was. In return, it will be like I never existed, no one will remember me. If I take over, he's wiped out. Though it will be more like I take over his life, so in the end, I still won't exist. But I'll live." she explained, eyes narrowing slightly.
"There are three choices. Your Karn devours my soul, I devour his soul, or we try and coexist and live with the side effects for however long we can. And, it's always possible someone of this world will try to take advantage of my soul being made into a conduit. After all, if there is a chance to bring someone back, someone probably wouldn't mind sacrificing a life they would later forget. Even if it's less likely to work compared to this set up neatly constructed. As for returning home, your Guild Master will say that it's best not to reopen the world to Edolas. That last little adventure about ripped the two world's apart. No matter what, Jamie won't risk their family and the entire world. Just like I won't risk mine, even if I want to go back. And even if I could get home, I'd be condemning your Karn to the same situation I'm in." Karn said, voice calm but arms were tightly crossed in front of her chest.
"So, tell me Sasha. If you really want to help. Tell me how you can? What is the answer?" she asked directly. Seeming to be actually be waiting for a legit answer. Or any answer.
