there's an ocean in my body
there's a river in my soul
To hear that the Prince had not been an Ascended before he had been his more monstrous self...Sam reflected on this, wondered if all he'd known since he'd met the Voice had been the misery that had been his existence. "I see. Well, I...hope that you find that makes you happy." It did sound a little bit like slavery, but he supposed if both parties were okay with it...
While it should have probably been concerning to know that Isla had the same concerns, Sam actually found it comforting. At least someone else could see it - that way, they could try and do something about it, though what their power was against that of the Voice was a question he didn't quite dare to consider. "I'll let you know when I'm going and you can decide if you want to come. It'll be...soon. In the Atheneum, probably."
With that organised, he chatted to the Prince a bit longer about his origins, asked if one day he might have him in for an interview to write a book about the society he knew before their own, the ancient days only he had the memories of. Once that was settled and organised, they went their ways, Sam going to sit and stare out of the window for a while. It was still hard to believe that the Prince, the pathetic creature he'd once known only to pity, was a whole and seemingly happy person now.
{FIN}

if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
