1. Tomorrow you will make
your announcement and give me the key.Copy !req
2. Then I will quit this place
and leave you with Nada.Copy !req
3. Agreed?Copy !req
4. I will take the matter
under consideration.Copy !req
5. - Under consideration?
- Yes.Copy !req
6. You want the woman, don't you?Copy !req
7. You went to Hell for her.Copy !req
8. Surely you'll trade her for a key.Copy !req
9. Cost you nothing. You don't even want—Copy !req
10. You will hear my decision tomorrow.Copy !req
11. Now go.Copy !req
12. May I just say a thing?Copy !req
13. You may.Copy !req
14. Without your getting angry.Copy !req
15. I fear it is too late for that.Copy !req
16. No, I mean angry at me.Copy !req
17. Why not give it to Azazel?Copy !req
18. Just for argument's sake.Copy !req
19. Hell was his home.Copy !req
20. He and the other demons
have no place to go.Copy !req
21. So, if giving them the key would free youCopy !req
22. and Nada,Copy !req
23. then why not?Copy !req
24. - I'm sure you have a million reasons.
- No.Copy !req
25. Just one.Copy !req
26. Azazel will never be content to rule Hell.Copy !req
27. He will use it as a foundation
to conquer every realm, including ours.Copy !req
28. He cannot be trusted.Copy !req
29. Was Lucifer particularly trustworthy?Copy !req
30. I will not be extorted.Copy !req
31. No.Copy !req
32. But where does that leave Nada?Copy !req
33. And since you know you can't trust Azazel,Copy !req
34. which of our guests
can you trust with this?Copy !req
35. Oh, yeah!Copy !req
36. Oh, God!Copy !req
37. Oh, yeah!Copy !req
38. Cluracan!Copy !req
39. Oh yeah!Copy !req
40. Is your bedchamber
not to your satisfaction?Copy !req
41. No. No, it is. It's... it's beautiful.Copy !req
42. I just...Copy !req
43. I couldn't sleep.Copy !req
44. I shall send word to Titania
that you have been an exemplary envoy.Copy !req
45. Have you made your choice?Copy !req
46. Should I not have asked?Copy !req
47. I shouldn't have asked.Copy !req
48. It is an impossible choice.Copy !req
49. Well, if... anyone can do the impossible,
Sire, it is you.Copy !req
50. I've seen you do it before.Copy !req
51. Do you remember
King Auberon and Queen Titania'sCopy !req
52. last visit to the mortal realm?Copy !req
53. You were there?Copy !req
54. - Forgive me, I—
- There is nothing to forgive.Copy !req
55. We were nearly introduced,Copy !req
56. but you had more pressing matters
to attend to.Copy !req
57. - It was but an evening's entertainment.
- It was far more than that.Copy !req
58. You see, I... I was told you were once
a frequent visitor to Faerie.Copy !req
59. For a time.Copy !req
60. The two realms
were extensions of each other.Copy !req
61. But then your friendship
with Queen Titania... changed.Copy !req
62. Relations became strained.Copy !req
63. So much so that the citizens of FaerieCopy !req
64. were forbidden
to even speak of Lord Morpheus.Copy !req
65. And you were banned from our realm.Copy !req
66. Until you did
what I thought was impossible.Copy !req
67. And healed the rift between our worlds.Copy !req
68. You came, then, Will Shakespeare?Copy !req
69. At your command, Lord.Copy !req
70. Midsummer's Eve...
by the Long Man at Wilmington.Copy !req
71. It is an odd place for us to perform.Copy !req
72. Odd?Copy !req
73. Wendel's Mount was a theater
long before your race came to this island.Copy !req
74. From before the Normans?Copy !req
75. Before the humans.Copy !req
76. Is it ready?Copy !req
77. It is the best I've ever written.Copy !req
78. I am sure of it.Copy !req
79. The stage is set,Copy !req
80. and the players are ready, my lord.Copy !req
81. Then let us not delay.Copy !req
82. What of our audience?Copy !req
83. They await beyond a portal
on the other side of the hill.Copy !req
84. A... portal?Copy !req
85. I will call them.Copy !req
86. Go tell your fellow players
to make ready to begin.Copy !req
87. Thank you, Lord.Copy !req
88. Wendel.Copy !req
89. Open your door.Copy !req
90. Welcome to you, Auberon of Dom-Daniel.Copy !req
91. And to you, Lady Titania.Copy !req
92. Greetings, Shaper.Copy !req
93. Your invitation has provoked
much speculation amongst our people.Copy !req
94. I must admit,Copy !req
95. I thought we were quit
of this plane forever.Copy !req
96. Nothing lasts forever.Copy !req
97. They say the seven Endless are forever,
mighty Dream.Copy !req
98. Until the death of time itself.Copy !req
99. What say you to that,
King of the Riddle-Realm?Copy !req
100. Robin Goodfellow, mind your manners.Copy !req
101. We are my Lord Shaper's guests.Copy !req
102. I will not have him insulted
by a hobgoblin.Copy !req
103. Nay, good Auberon.Copy !req
104. It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths
that no one else dares speak.Copy !req
105. A fool?Copy !req
106. Well met, Lord Morpheus.Copy !req
107. And you, Lord Cluracan.Copy !req
108. Please, take your seats.Copy !req
109. The diversion I have arranged
begins forthwith.Copy !req
110. You have not said, Lord Shaper,
why you have invited us here.Copy !req
111. To witness what is to come.Copy !req
112. Yes, but we are curious as to why.Copy !req
113. Telling would spoil the play.Copy !req
114. Now, fair Hippolyta,Copy !req
115. our nuptial hour draws on apace.Copy !req
116. Four happy days bring in another moon.Copy !req
117. But, O, methinks
how slow this old moon wanes.Copy !req
118. She lingers my desires
like to a stepdame or a dowager,Copy !req
119. long withering out a young man's revenue.Copy !req
120. Either I mistake your shape
and making quite,Copy !req
121. or else you are that shrewdCopy !req
122. and knavish sprite
called Robin Goodfellow.Copy !req
123. That's you, Puck.
That actor person, it's you.Copy !req
124. Skim milk
and sometimes labor in the quern.Copy !req
125. Bootless make
the breathless housewife churn.Copy !req
126. And sweet Puck, you do their work,
and they shall have good luck.Copy !req
127. Are not you he?Copy !req
128. Thou speakest aright.Copy !req
129. I am that merry wanderer of the night.Copy !req
130. I jest to Oberon, and make him smile.Copy !req
131. But room, fairy. Here comes Oberon.Copy !req
132. And here my mistress.
Would that he were gone.Copy !req
133. I'll met by moonlight, proud Titania.Copy !req
134. What, jealous Oberon?Copy !req
135. Fairies, skip hence.
I have forsworn his bed and company.Copy !req
136. Tarry, rash wanton. Am I not thy lord?Copy !req
137. I must be thy lady.Copy !req
138. I'd forgotten me
what strange creatures mortals can be.Copy !req
139. Oh, how I ache to make a sport of them.Copy !req
140. No.Copy !req
141. Do you behave, my servant.Copy !req
142. you come
to give their bed joy and prosperity?Copy !req
143. Gentles, there will now be an intervalCopy !req
144. for you to freshen,
or to stretch your legs.Copy !req
145. Our tale begins again ten minutes hence.Copy !req
146. So you are the author of this... amusement?Copy !req
147. I... I am, Your Majesty.Copy !req
148. I... I hope it pleases you.Copy !req
149. It strikes strange music.
Methinks I should be displeased.Copy !req
150. But I am not.
It is most worthy work, sir.Copy !req
151. Good.Copy !req
152. It is unlike you, Dream, to have such
waking commerce with mortalkind.Copy !req
153. I came to an arrangement some years ago.Copy !req
154. The great stories will live
for an age of man through his words.Copy !req
155. Such was his dream.Copy !req
156. His heart's desire.Copy !req
157. But I fear
he did not understand the price.Copy !req
158. There is no price too dear
to obtain one's heart's desire.Copy !req
159. And once you have it,Copy !req
160. the price of getting what you want
is getting what once you wanted.Copy !req
161. My dear.Copy !req
162. You must meet the author. Come.Copy !req
163. Of course.Copy !req
164. "Do best please me that befall prepost—"Copy !req
165. You played me well, mortal.Copy !req
166. But I have played meCopy !req
167. for a time out of mind.Copy !req
168. And I do Robin Goodfellow
better than anyone.Copy !req
169. How now, mad spirit.Copy !req
170. What night-rule now
about this haunted grove?Copy !req
171. My mistress with a monster is in love.Copy !req
172. Near to her close and consecrated bower,Copy !req
173. while she was
in her dull and sleeping hour,Copy !req
174. a crew of patches,Copy !req
175. rude mechanicals who work
for bread upon Athenian stalls,Copy !req
176. were met together to rehearse a playCopy !req
177. intended for great Theseus's nuptial day.Copy !req
178. The shallowest thick-skin...Copy !req
179. You asked me
why I invited you back to this plane.Copy !req
180. During your time here, Faerie afforded meCopy !req
181. much entertainment.Copy !req
182. And enchantment.Copy !req
183. And now you have left for your own haunts.Copy !req
184. I would repay you.Copy !req
185. They will never forget you.Copy !req
186. King Auberon and Queen Titania
will be remembered by mortalsCopy !req
187. till this age is gone.Copy !req
188. We thank you, Shaper,
but this diversion is not true.Copy !req
189. Things never happened thus.Copy !req
190. No, but it is true.Copy !req
191. Things need not have happened to be true.Copy !req
192. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truthsCopy !req
193. that will endure
when mere facts are dust and ashesCopy !req
194. and forgot.Copy !req
195. We are honored, Shaper.Copy !req
196. And you will always be welcome
in our land.Copy !req
197. If we shadows have offended,
think but this,Copy !req
198. and all is mended.Copy !req
199. That you have but slumbered hereCopy !req
200. while these visions did appear,Copy !req
201. and this weak and idle theme...Copy !req
202. no more yielding than a dream.Copy !req
203. Gentles, do not reprehend.Copy !req
204. If you pardon, we will mend. And...Copy !req
205. as I am...Copy !req
206. an honest Puck...Copy !req
207. If we have unearned luck
now to scape the serpent's tongue,Copy !req
208. we will make amends ere long.Copy !req
209. Else the Puck a liar call.Copy !req
210. So good night unto you all!Copy !req
211. Give me your hands if we be friends,Copy !req
212. and Robin shall restore amends.Copy !req
213. Come, my Puck.Copy !req
214. Come. And now the time
for our return draws near.Copy !req
215. But leave, my lord?Copy !req
216. When there are mortals
to confusticate and vex!Copy !req
217. Already Wendel opens up his gate.
Thank you, Dream Lord.Copy !req
218. Goodbye, Lord Shaper.Copy !req
219. Farewell.Copy !req
220. Go in peace.Copy !req
221. - Ah...
- Will you introduce me?Copy !req
222. Next time, sister.Copy !req
223. You healed the wounds
between our realms,Copy !req
224. and the waking world
still speaks of Auberon and Titania.Copy !req
225. "Tales and dreams are the shadow-truthsCopy !req
226. that will endure when mere facts
are dust and ashes and forgot."Copy !req
227. Shakespeare.Copy !req
228. You.Copy !req
229. I was seated behind you that night.Copy !req
230. I heard every word you said.Copy !req
231. I saw what you did, your play—Copy !req
232. Shakespeare's play.Copy !req
233. You held a mirror up to my king and queenCopy !req
234. and showed them
that they were the problem, not you.Copy !req
235. And you made them love you for it.Copy !req
236. Perhaps it is time to hold a mirror up
to those who would impose Hell upon you.Copy !req
237. And impossible choices.Copy !req
238. You have given me much to consider.Copy !req
239. You flatter me, Lord.Copy !req
240. But I shall be able to sleep now,
having heard you say it.Copy !req
241. Good night.Copy !req
242. Lady Nuala.Copy !req
243. I'm glad to have met you.Copy !req
244. Finally.Copy !req
245. And I, you, my lord.Copy !req
246. Thank you all for waiting.Copy !req
247. I apologize for the delay.Copy !req
248. But I am sure that none of you would have
wished for me to rush into my decision.Copy !req
249. I confess, I am tempted
to accede to Queen Titania's appealCopy !req
250. that Hell remain empty.Copy !req
251. But Lord Azazel has persuaded meCopy !req
252. that the demons and the damned
must have a home.Copy !req
253. A refuge.Copy !req
254. But a dominion that may only be ruledCopy !req
255. by one whose sole ambition
is to serve them.Copy !req
256. Just give me the key... and be done with it.Copy !req
257. A leader with the wisdomCopy !req
258. and acuityCopy !req
259. to understand that Hell can never be
a mere extension of their own realm.Copy !req
260. For Hell is Heaven's reflection.Copy !req
261. They define one another.Copy !req
262. Without Hell,Copy !req
263. Heaven has no meaning.Copy !req
264. Which is why I am obligated to entrust itCopy !req
265. with those that serve in Heaven's name.Copy !req
266. Remiel.Copy !req
267. Duma.Copy !req
268. The key is yours.Copy !req
269. I have made my decision.Copy !req
270. I hope it causes
none of you undue distress.Copy !req
271. What about the distress
it's going to cause you?Copy !req
272. I know your rules.Copy !req
273. You offered us
your hospitality when we arrived.Copy !req
274. You can do nothing now to harm any of us.Copy !req
275. Even if I devour the soul
of your lady love.Copy !req
276. What you say is true, Azazel.Copy !req
277. But... I offered
my hospitality to all of my guests.Copy !req
278. Those I knew about...Copy !req
279. and those I did not.Copy !req
280. So yes, you are under my protection.Copy !req
281. But so, too, is Queen Nada.Copy !req
282. And I will not see her hurt.Copy !req
283. Very well.Copy !req
284. If you want her...Copy !req
285. then come and get her.Copy !req
286. Kai'ckul!Copy !req
287. Okay, come. Come on. I've got you.Copy !req
288. - Come on.
- I renounce your hospitality.Copy !req
289. You are mine now, Dream Lord.Copy !req
290. Mine to consume at my leisure.Copy !req
291. The creator is welcome to Hell,Copy !req
292. for the demons now rule the Dreaming.Copy !req
293. Oh, Azazel.Copy !req
294. Where are you?Copy !req
295. It was unwise of you
to attempt to harm me.Copy !req
296. Elsewhere, perhaps.Copy !req
297. But not here.Copy !req
298. This is my home.Copy !req
299. My place of power.Copy !req
300. Reality here conforms to my design.Copy !req
301. Now,Copy !req
302. does anyone else in this place...
have a problem with my decision?Copy !req
303. Good.Copy !req
304. How is she?Copy !req
305. She's with the doctors now.Copy !req
306. She's sustained no injuries,Copy !req
307. but she's traumatized,
obviously, and exhausted.Copy !req
308. May I see her?Copy !req
309. They've given her
something to help her sleep.Copy !req
310. Perhaps when she wakes up
and has had time to recover.Copy !req
311. I'll let her know the moment
she wakes up you wish to see her.Copy !req
312. Thank you, Lucienne.Copy !req
313. She'll be fine.Copy !req
314. It's your other guests
you need to worry about.Copy !req
315. Your Majesty, Lord Kilderkin
has manifested a farewell message for you.Copy !req
316. Thank you, Lord Kilderkin.Copy !req
317. We's always more fun than cardboard boxes.Copy !req
318. Nobody clever be's cardboard boxes.Copy !req
319. So I take it I've incurred
the wrath of ChaosCopy !req
320. from now until the end of time?Copy !req
321. Oh, that. I just made that stuff up.Copy !req
322. We didn't want Lucifer's realm.
We just didn't want anyone else to get it.Copy !req
323. Anyway, thank you for having me
at your party, Mr. Dreamy.Copy !req
324. I had a lovely time.Copy !req
325. Lord Morpheus.Copy !req
326. Lord Azazel is a warrior, not a diplomat.Copy !req
327. His behavior was indefensible,
but I assure you,Copy !req
328. he only wanted justice for his people.Copy !req
329. Lady Merkin, I think we both know
that Lord Azazel's ambitionsCopy !req
330. lay far beyond the gates of Hell.Copy !req
331. May I ask what you intend to do with him?Copy !req
332. Nothing.Copy !req
333. I will merely give him time to reflect.Copy !req
334. And the opportunity to mend his manners.Copy !req
335. Thank you, Lord Shaper,
for showing mercy to Lord Azazel.Copy !req
336. He would not do the same for you.Copy !req
337. Lord Odin.Copy !req
338. I am sorry
I was forced to reject your offer.Copy !req
339. You're sorry?Copy !req
340. The trickster is unwilling
to return to prisonCopy !req
341. and his wife.Copy !req
342. Apologies for the fuss, Lord.Copy !req
343. Time to put Loki back in his hole.Copy !req
344. You were a fine host, Dreamweaver.Copy !req
345. You are welcome at my hall of Gladsheim.Copy !req
346. My house is yours.Copy !req
347. My mead and meat are at your disposal.Copy !req
348. Thank you, Odin All-Father.Copy !req
349. Hm.Copy !req
350. Lord Morpheus,
my brother and I wish to thank you.Copy !req
351. Oh yes, Lord Shaper,
thank you for a lovely night.Copy !req
352. It was truly... epic. I mean—Copy !req
353. We will send your regards
to our king and queen, if we may.Copy !req
354. Ah, sister, did I not tell you?Copy !req
355. Not tell me what?Copy !req
356. Would you excuse us a moment, Lord Shaper?Copy !req
357. Of course.Copy !req
358. Thank you.Copy !req
359. What's going on?Copy !req
360. Honestly, I thought you knew.Copy !req
361. I thought you and Titania
had talked about this.Copy !req
362. Talked about what?Copy !req
363. You won't be coming back with me.Copy !req
364. You're going to be staying here.Copy !req
365. With him.Copy !req
366. Cluracan.Copy !req
367. Lord Shaper,
I will be returning to Faerie alone.Copy !req
368. My sister, Nuala...Copy !req
369. is a gift to you.Copy !req
370. From Faerie.Copy !req
371. With respect to your queen,
I cannot accept.Copy !req
372. Reject the queen's gift, if you will,
but she will not be best pleased.Copy !req
373. Nuala, if she returns to Faerie,
risks her severest displeasure.Copy !req
374. She's yours now, Sire.Copy !req
375. To do with as you will.Copy !req
376. If the lady does not wish to stay—Copy !req
377. I am afraid
she has no choice in the matter.Copy !req
378. The lady does wish to stay, Lord.Copy !req
379. I would far rather
be received here as a giftCopy !req
380. than return to a queen and a brotherCopy !req
381. who would think so little of me
that he would give me away.Copy !req
382. Very well.Copy !req
383. It would be an honor to have
Lady Nuala remain with us as our guest.Copy !req
384. It was her diplomacy that ledCopy !req
385. to the abolition
of Faerie's tithe to Hell,Copy !req
386. to which the angels agreed.Copy !req
387. Thank you, Lord Shaper.Copy !req
388. In that case, perhaps Titania will
allow you to come back from time to timeCopy !req
389. to see old friends, visit your brother.Copy !req
390. - I have no wish to do so.
- Hmm.Copy !req
391. Then I will come and see you.Copy !req
392. Thank you again, Lord.Copy !req
393. Till next time.Copy !req
394. Lady Nuala.Copy !req
395. If you are to remain with us,Copy !req
396. I would ask that you remove
the Glamour that you wear.Copy !req
397. I mislike little magics in this realm.Copy !req
398. But Queen Titania insists
that everyone in her court—Copy !req
399. You are no longer in her court.Copy !req
400. And her priorities are different to mine.Copy !req
401. You have no idea.Copy !req
402. All right.Copy !req
403. Is this all right with you?Copy !req
404. Your voice.Copy !req
405. Titania always hated my accent.Copy !req
406. She's very posh. God love her.Copy !req
407. Lucienne.Copy !req
408. Taramis.Copy !req
409. The Lady Nuala will be staying
with us from now on.Copy !req
410. Is she?Copy !req
411. How lovely.Copy !req
412. I have a garden full of flowers,
and now finally someone to eat them.Copy !req
413. And Queen Nada?Copy !req
414. How is she?Copy !req
415. Recuperating nicely, but... she needs rest.Copy !req
416. Do we have
any other guests staying onCopy !req
417. unexpectedly?Copy !req
418. Or is that everyone?Copy !req
419. I hate those shoes.Copy !req
420. Lord Susano.Copy !req
421. Leaving my palace without saying goodbye.Copy !req
422. I... regret having to leave in this way.Copy !req
423. I am unworthy of your hospitality.Copy !req
424. Yes, I think perhaps you are...Copy !req
425. Loki.Copy !req
426. You guessed.Copy !req
427. Why Lord Susano?Copy !req
428. Why shouldn't he replace me?
It's not as if anyone's going to miss him.Copy !req
429. - Because he was my guest.
- So am I.Copy !req
430. And would you send me back...
to an eternity of torture and pain?Copy !req
431. Hmm?Copy !req
432. I cannot allow Lord Susano
to suffer in your stead.Copy !req
433. Then free us both.Copy !req
434. I'll do anything.Copy !req
435. Whatever you ask.Copy !req
436. I could create a dream image of you
and leave it in his place.Copy !req
437. Both of you would walk free.Copy !req
438. No one need ever know.Copy !req
439. Would you do that?Copy !req
440. If I were to do this thing, Loki...Copy !req
441. you would be in my debt.Copy !req
442. Do you understand this?Copy !req
443. I will be under obligation to no one.Copy !req
444. Well, then I will be under obligation
to inform Lord Odin of your deception.Copy !req
445. What would you ask of me?Copy !req
446. Nothing.Copy !req
447. Yet.Copy !req
448. All right. Fine.Copy !req
449. I reluctantly agree to your terms.Copy !req
450. Very well.Copy !req
451. Let us talk.Copy !req
452. Are you enjoying your retirement?Copy !req
453. I was.Copy !req
454. Are you here to gloat about your victory?Copy !req
455. A victory suggests having won something.Copy !req
456. I'm here to gloat
about having lost something.Copy !req
457. I'm quite sure you did not lose it.Copy !req
458. I gave it back to its creator.Copy !req
459. Did you?Copy !req
460. Well done.Copy !req
461. Are you disappointed?Copy !req
462. That you gave God the key?Copy !req
463. I wish I had thought of that.Copy !req
464. You swore to destroy me.Copy !req
465. I was angry at God.Copy !req
466. God's a cunt.Copy !req
467. Farewell, Lucifer Morningstar.Copy !req
468. Dream, did you succeed
in finding Nada?Copy !req
469. I did.Copy !req
470. But...Copy !req
471. What?Copy !req
472. She does not wish to see me.Copy !req
473. Ah.Copy !req
474. Well...Copy !req
475. If I can begin again...Copy !req
476. perhaps you can too.Copy !req
477. How is she?Copy !req
478. She's been given a suite in the East Wing.Copy !req
479. I've asked the Fashion Thing
to attend to her.Copy !req
480. Is it too soon to ask if we can talk?Copy !req
481. I shall ask.Copy !req
482. Kai'ckul.Copy !req
483. Nada.Copy !req
484. Please,Copy !req
485. be seated.Copy !req
486. Thank you.Copy !req
487. Are you...Copy !req
488. I mean...Copy !req
489. I suppose you must be hungry.Copy !req
490. I was very hungryCopy !req
491. the first few thousand years, but...Copy !req
492. after that, it ceased to concern me.Copy !req
493. I have no true body anymore, after all.Copy !req
494. I'm one of the dead.Copy !req
495. - I warned you—
- If you ever...Copy !req
496. You were saying?Copy !req
497. No.Copy !req
498. You first, Kai'ckul.Copy !req
499. I think you have something to say to me.Copy !req
500. Ten thousand years ago,Copy !req
501. I condemned you to Hell.Copy !req
502. I now think...Copy !req
503. I think that I may have acted...Copy !req
504. dishonorably.Copy !req
505. I think, perhaps, that I should apologize.Copy !req
506. You think perhaps you should apologize?Copy !req
507. - I—
- I spent 10,000 years in Hell.Copy !req
508. I burned by day and froze by night.Copy !req
509. Glass shards cut my flesh.Copy !req
510. I starved and hurt.Copy !req
511. And wept and waited.Copy !req
512. All that because of you.Copy !req
513. And you think perhapsCopy !req
514. you should apologize?Copy !req
515. Look at me.Copy !req
516. Look at me!Copy !req
517. You struck me.Copy !req
518. No one may strike me.Copy !req
519. - I should—
- What?Copy !req
520. What will you do to me this time,
Dream Lord?Copy !req
521. Or will you just send me back to Hell?Copy !req
522. No.Copy !req
523. I...Copy !req
524. I am sorry.Copy !req
525. I will live with eternal regret
for what I did to you.Copy !req
526. To dwell on the pastCopy !req
527. is a Hell on its own.Copy !req
528. One I wouldn't wish on anyone.Copy !req
529. Then perhaps it is time
that we discuss your future.Copy !req
530. Are you certain this is what you want?Copy !req
531. A chance to see the mortal world.Copy !req
532. To live again.Copy !req
533. The mortal world
is not as you remember it.Copy !req
534. Humanity itself—Copy !req
535. Have I not just spent
the last 10,000 years with humanity?Copy !req
536. - Let me come with you.
- Kai'ckul.Copy !req
537. It is treacherous there.Copy !req
538. More so than Hell?Copy !req
539. Perhaps...Copy !req
540. when you have seen the world...Copy !req
541. you might come back.Copy !req
542. No, my lord.Copy !req
543. But I love you.Copy !req
544. No, you do not.Copy !req
545. I know you believe that you do.Copy !req
546. But I wonder if you...Copy !req
547. If your kind is even capable of love.Copy !req
548. How can you say that?Copy !req
549. How could anyone who truly loved me...Copy !req
550. do what you've done to me?Copy !req
551. I have changed.Copy !req
552. It is the same
as the last time I refused you.Copy !req
553. I think perhaps you merely want
what you cannot have.Copy !req
554. That is not love.Copy !req
555. That is desire.Copy !req
556. Desire?Copy !req
557. There is no shame in it.Copy !req
558. No.Copy !req
559. You cannot tell me what is in my heart.Copy !req
560. I love you.Copy !req
561. But I do not love you.Copy !req
562. Fare you well, Kai'ckul.Copy !req
