All is fair in love and war
bloodshed in velvet shades
as battles burn, but one remains
they call her Queen of Blades
”Three hundred years ago.” she said with a sigh. That was a long time. Maybe not for a god in a sense but long enough to reflect certainly. ”And what did it change? Did it really save lives? Mort may have changed his mind.” she said gently. Roana looked down at the rose in her hand, contemplating silently. It wasn’t an easy thing to talk about, or contemplate, and certainly not for one like Amalia who walked the path of life. But that was her path, not Roana’s, and maybe that was why she was here now.
”I am not asking you to agree, because I know you cannot. In fact, if anything, it is important that you don’t, so you can remind everyone, even me, that this is being done not because of the Ascended themselves, but because of the missteps of their leader. There is a lesson in it, one humanity seems to repeat over and over, no matter the world.” she said with a slight sigh before looking back at the baker. ”But I ask that you do not hold it against me. This path is just as difficult as yours, in different ways. Mort and Vi work together to maintain balance as different as I am sure they are. I hope we can as well.” she said quietly.
Amalia begged her to wait and she sighed, but considered. ”I will wait as long as I can, and I will warn the Ascended so they’ve an opportunity to ask their Goddess to fix this rift she has caused on her own. But I can’t make a promise as to how long that will be.” she said.
