Requested: Cosmos

[myplaceishere]

[It is fitting that she should come to this place, a place of life, on the pulse of the world itself. It is her own divine power that has drawn Cosmos to Gaia, the seeds she had planted within her warriors to coalesce into a crystal. This is not World B, yet somehow, she can sense that she belongs here. Here at the base of the Iifa Tree where worlds are knit together in the coursing stream of life, shimmering green below her. But it is more than being at the cradle of life that makes this world, Zidane's world, feel right to her. There are pieces of others here as well, she can feel them, different as are each of her own chosen. However, not even this is what feels familiar to her. Somehow, this world... is the world she originated from, before deification, before the endless cycles of war.

For whatever purpose, she has come; thus she reaches out to her own, far flung around this world though they be:]

My warriors, I bid you welcome.

I still feel terrible about all that I had to do...

[He can tell she's troubled, and he wishes he only knew how to make up for his failings somehow.]

[myplaceishere]

And yet your actions allowed for a true end to the conflict. Does this trouble you?

[And there we have it. Cosmos usually works best by nudging her own to make their personal peace for themselves.]

[dragoon_rising]

No... of course not.

Even though I betrayed the trust of many comrades in the process... Even though I knew that those joining me in that battle would not live to see another... Everything I did was in hopes of bringing about that end.

[He looks at her, hoping she'll have the answers.]

...but even so, I keep wondering if I brought about the end in the right way.

[myplaceishere]

It is natural to have doubts if the path you have chosen is the correct one. Do you feel it was the right way?

[Sorry Kain, you will have to work a little for this one. For now.]

[dragoon_rising]

[Kain thinks about this, but he knows the answer... he's known it all along, truly. It's just that a lot of what had to happen left him with those doubts.]

I'm sure that it was.

[myplaceishere]

Then I agree with you.

You learned the truth of the cycle and still you did all that you could to bring true peace. It was your desire to win the battle and end the conflict. That I choose to honor.

[It does rather beg the question if he blames her as he was blaming himself just a moment ago.]

[dragoon_rising]

[Kain is for now busy feeling relieved that she doesn't hate him for betraying in a sense, and for not informing her right away of their plans.]

...That means a great deal to hear that. Thank you.
