[ To her, this was something that Lux had no experience with. The idea that one could suffer so, and that through that, something terrible could be born from that suffering. It hurt to think about, that the only way that they could bring those dungeon masters peace was through ending their lives.
To say that it was cruel was not a slight at him, not at all. It was cruel that their existence was marred by such tragedy, such grief that they would become monsters, birth fearsome and dangerous dungeons and risk the lives of others. That was the cruelty of dungeons.
And it hurt, that thought, that amount of suffering reserved for one tortured soul. That there was nothing to do to stop it. ]
You're glad?
[ And that was what surprised her the most, and as he rested his hand gently on her wrist, as if to pacify her racing thoughts, she was reminded again of how different their worlds were.
What had you been made to see, Allen Walker?
The grip on her hands easing, she took a breath, simply letting hand rest on top of hand. Saving them, letting them finally rest. It was as he said, in Tianya's last words he finally he finally found peace. Even Ser Lyon seemed to find some solace in his dying moments.
It was cruel, this beautiful and at times ugly world. To destroy in order to save, it was so very sad, and yet...
Letting her hand slowly trail, her thumb gently brushed against his hand as she nodded. ]
I think I understand.
They've lost their way, and in losing themselves to grief and loss, become monsters capable of only hate and destruction. And in their anguish, hate and confusion, dungeons are born. So in order to save the soul that still dwells deep within, we have to destroy them, to use your words.
[ It was heavy, and closing her eyes briefly, she let her chin dip subtly. ]
I did think them odd, Ser Lyon's final words, how both very sad and very happy they were. They just want to be whole again, don't they? To be reminded of who they were, before they were changed by grief. And if doing such a thing can remind them...
[ It's cruel, but...
Looking up, she didn't quite smile, but there was resolution in her eyes. Conviction burning brightly in the night. ]
Until we can find a way to prevent this from happening, I want to do everything I can to ease their suffering.
