+for power, for obliteration
+of all that does not please him.
+I am told you, with my sister,
+are creating a world without end,
+a world all her
+own. This is the fate of all Meridian gods,
+those that did not spring from mankind's evil odds.
+In this I am not surprised.
+But I am also told that she seeks to defy
+her fate, to not allow the world to subsume
+her consciousness once it has come into full bloom.
+Indeed, in this she has partially
+succeeded, if only due to being bound to a corporeal body
+in an Inside so far away.
+But the clock is ticking, you who lies
+at the end of the road, at the point of every line.
+if I could, I would proclaim you blessed
+and her acquitted from this death sentence.
+But I am long since dead, and this echo almost passed.
+Time is for you of the essence.
+You have proclaimed often that you wish to spend
+your whole life with her. Within this year
+will come time to make good on your promise.
+I have faith success will be assured
+if you are there to protect her.
+I would ask no less
+for my precious sister, my destructive Seliph.
+
+She is going to give a whole new world to you.
+My final wish: please, ensure
+she can experience it too.

-One can't raise a caricature of a human being
-and then draw that same self livid
-when everything their child sees
-is out of proportion.
-
-Turn again the ragged page,
-but cover your eyes so you don't see
-the crude pencil-filled sketchings
-of my genus, my culled genious,
-blueprints of my taxidermy,
-footnotes of a contract forever ago signed:
-"You promise me that you'll be mine
-for as long as I can keep you alive."
-
-A blood oath
-that we both
-signed
-with the rivers through which flow our lives.
-But I got too much under my fingernails,
-double-crossed in reflex, same unleashing hell
-in a moment I made the mistake of asking if all was well.
-And when I noticed what I had done,
-I turned back the hands of time
-to when you and I
-were still alive.
-A memory is just a record, one that I can rewrite
-in case of failure, in case hard enough I did not try.
-
-You only know of this because this deep-
-sworn vow I am unable to keep,
-to keep to myself the number of rewinds.
-I am testing, and you are production,
-only knowing of the strand of fate accepted,
-battle-tested,
-deemed sacred and happy and true.
-Is it comforting, I wonder, to know
-there will be no futures where I hurt you?
