GOOD HEAVENS WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE TIME! That's right, readers, Author-chan is back. Now, you might be wondering why I chose this title for today's chapter...there's actually two reasons. One, a character is going to think it. Two, it's going to (maybe) allow some sympathy for said character. Yep, I'm playing that card! Deal with it.
Miitopia belongs to Nintendo, enjoy and no comments.
Kojima was unusually excited. As she sat upon her throne and gave Harmoni a coy smirk, thinking over her success so far, she thought aloud. "Yesssss...those heroes are close, and so is The Eternal...I can almost hear her voice calling to me, beckoning me to awaken her so we can conquer all!"
"That's because she IS calling to you," Harmoni muttered, "but not in the way you think."
"I nearly have enough power...when the next three monsters are defeated, all that is left is to engage the heroes in battle and give The Eternal that extra boost she needs to break free of her prison. These two elf faces will do nicely for the tadpole and bird..."
"You say that in joy now...but you'll be singing a different tune when she is released. It's futile to deny The Eternal's seal breaking, I know...while I'm here, I may as well try to make a connection with you, even in your current state."
Kojima frowned abruptly as a faint pulsing sensation in her head made her stop, despite the fact that she could not hear the Great Sage. "But...something just does not feel right about this. Am I even doing anything to my benefit by releasing that spirit?"
"Your soul may not be completely corrupted, as they think it is. My powers are limited without my staff, even with my heritage, but I can still sense the light trapped within you...struggling, demanding to be released. While you don't know it, right now I'm kind of acting...
"The darkness I hold tells me that I am confirming my destiny...but I am beginning to feel otherwise. It's almost as if...someone is acting..."
"...as a conscience," They both finished the sentence.
"A voice of reason, trying to get through to you."
"A voice in my head, trying to tell me the consequences of what I am trying to accomplish." Kojima sighed, the pulsing in her head increasing to a sharp pain now. "I just don't get it... why do I want to do this? Do I want to do it to begin with? Am I going insane?"
Am I...a monster? Not like the ones I summon, but a terrible creature with no compassion? Am I a monster in that sense?
"You don't need to understand why you're doing it...it's wrong to begin with. You were tricked by the missing piece of the Dark Lord, the one left behind by his defeat. You aren't going insane, Kojima."
You just...need to get the fog out of your head. You aren't a monster, you're misunderstood. A poor soul being manipulated by her desire to be more than what she is.
Kojima sighed and teleported away, leaving the Great Sage alone with her thoughts.
Geez... I can't stop writing angst lately...or ever! I guess all my friend issues are starting to grow on me. Anyhoo, does anybody catch my drift here? Puts Kojima in more of a tragic light, eh? EH? *sigh* Whatever.
Peace out and no comments.
