Lady Samantha stands in complete awe at the sight of the Dark Lord. Xivaac had been slain by her brother, she had seen it firsthand. She thinks back to what Leon told her once, that there is a fine line between life and death. If she didn't believe it before, she definitely does now. After another moment, Lady Samantha walks into the room with Lord Xivaac and Bahemyth.
"You must have so many questions," Lord Xivaac snickers.
"I thought my destiny was to be so much more...." Lady Samantha pauses, "Even Leon-"
"Bah!" Lord Xivaac interrupts, "I don't care what Leon ever told you. He has been nothing but a pain in the ass since he was born."
"Did you know about Lady Parocaav?"
"To be honest, it doesn't really matter whether I did know or not. You're wasting your time. You know what you truly want to ask me."
"Why me?"
"There is no reason Lady Samantha. You were always meant to rise to power, to help bring the world to chaos. I never imagined that you'd gain my essence, my power, but I knew darkness is your true destiny. It will always be your destiny."
"I don't want this.... I want to be by my brother's and Roku's side.... I do not want the darkness."
"That is irrelevant Lady Samantha," Bahemyth finally speaks in a soft tone after a moment's silence, "All that happens has been predetermined. No one can change history, or the future. Embrace the darkness."
"What about you Lord Bahemyth?" Lady Samantha asks him immediately.
"I am the Keeper of Time. I am time. I have seen this existence from start to finish, from before and millennia after," Bahemyth replies with a stern voice, "Nothing can be changed. The timeline is sealed."
Lady Samantha turns away from them and leans against the wall. She lets her own thoughts drown them out. Once again she can feel herself being lost to the darkness. It's almost as if it is eating her alive from the inside out, consuming her entirely. Her memories remain firm, but the way they are perceived has changed. She no longer looks at her past in a certain familiar light. Anger. Hatred. Darkness. Lady Samantha turns to face the Gods once more. A smirk spreads across her face as she steps toward them. The look of innocence has completely faded from her.
"The real reason I came here, was to seek advice Lord Bahemyth," Lady Samantha simply says.
"I know child, but you needed to confront the darkness within yourself first. I know that you have had doubt of your true potential Lady Samantha," Bahemyth explains, "Now that you have finally accepted who you are, we can now look into why you came to me. Again I say child, embrace the darkness."
"I'm not finished here Bahemyth," Xivaac states.
"But you are," Bahemyth simply says.
Before Xivaac can respond, Bahemyth snaps his fingers and the Dark Lord disappears. His aura returns to Lady Samantha, rejoining her once more. The darkness almost feels cold, sending a chill down her spine.
"Lord Bahemyth, I need to know a way to end the Bringers of Hope. They are a nuisance to Lady Parocaav and they need to be destroyed," Lady Samantha says.
"Are you worried they will interfere with yourself and the Goddess of Life?" Bahemyth pauses, "Or do you fear your brother and the girl?"
"I.... No. I do not fear anyone."
"You will get your chance to face them again, but if you want an edge on them.... find the remainder of the Resistance Army and destroy them."
"Are they even still around? I thought they were either slain or converted to the Elite Forces already."
