I should be scared... terrified even.

But as I sit in a small dark cell awaiting certain doom, I somehow find a sense of...solace.

Perhaps what Poppy said was right- all of my mistakes- my selfish decisions and desires can be answered for... and I can walk out the other side better because of it.

Please reconsider

Of course, I cannot be completely calm about this- my lingering anxiety is drawing you back, right Isidora?

You must hurry and absorb my ancient magics! Call it to you and I can do the rest! Please Abercius!

You're fading aren't you, Isidora? Soon you will back where you were- awaiting judgement- just like me.

We can escape our fates Sune! We can carve this world into one knowing of no pain or suffering- all of your dreams-

Are nothing but that- dreams. We aren't divine deities Isidora- we're just as human as everyone else- it's time you accept that.

I can't accept my fate! I won't! I was robbed of my life by the Keepers! By not absorbing my magic, you're letting me die!

I'm truly sorry for what happened to you- but we can't undo what's already been done... I learned that from Sebastian, Imelda and Sacharissa.

I'm scared Abercius... I don't want to die.

You've already died before.

Not like this! Before it was instantaneous and unexpected- but this is like a slow poison...

Perhaps it would've been better if you hadn't left your essence behind at all...

I'll do anything you ask Abercius! Please!

Nothing you say will convince me to absorb the ancient magic... it's over Isidora.

I sit in silence for a few moments while I hear echoes of quiet sobbing...

Some time passes until Isidora utters quietly,
I'm afraid... I'm afraid of what will happen to me.

I smile weakly, so am I.

How can you not be as terrified as I am? A lifetime in Azkaban and then you will be awaiting judgement like me-

I wish you had been given the chance I have Isidora... you could've done so much good in life... but it's not too late to find acceptance.

Acceptance-? In what, my fate of eternal suffering and agony-?

Are you a bad person Isidora?

I'm... not good... I've hurt so many... my father, my students... my mentors... I wouldn't save myself...

You are like me- not based on how we were born but on how we made mistakes with our newfound power... because we felt helpless.

I couldn't save my brother- I couldn't heal others in my life- instead I lost my way... I'm still so, so lost...

Then it's time you stop hiding behind your dreams and face the truth: face your judgement accordingly and accept who you are now- not then.

You truly believe that they will see me in a better light?

I do. Because I know there is just as much hope for you as there is for me- believe in yourself Isidora.

Thank you Abercius Sune... you have brought me a greater peace than any magic I could've conjured... I'm grateful for your guidance.
