I demand to be let out of here while these things are present!

Now.

[The only time Persephone has ever died was in zero at the hands of Edgar while in DK form, hence why she's a bit upset over it.]

Comments

From his cell

"'These things'? That's not very polite you know," he said, his tone mocking and his glowing blue eyes watching giddily from the bars.

From her cell.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

"I care not. You are nothing but a thing now." The words are spat and Persephone is pacing back and forth in her cell like caged cat.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

"I'm at least as much as I ever was. No wait...I'm more. Too bad I'm locked away, I'd love to show the Barge my moreness." He paused, cocking his head to the side. "I could always show you."

and this brings her out of Five's protective bubble.

Persephone?

Private

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Coyolxauhqui. Where are you?

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

Away from sight. My warden keeps me. I cannot hide my words. It has been removed from my device.

Why are you still here?

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I was taken here while you were dying. The little lord of time did something to my mind and placed me in zero.

My powers have been removed.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

You were stripped of your freedom?

Persephone, are you trapped here as I am?

Private.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I believe this is becoming more and more likely as time passes and I cannot leave.

...I am as trapped here as I was in Hades.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

No. No.

You are imprisoned here. You are imprisoned because of me. This cannot be. This is not possible....

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

No, I am imprisoned here because these mortals have some hold over my father. I will be released when my seven days are done.

[Someone doesn't sound as sure of that as she should.]

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

I do not think that is the case, Persephone.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I refuse to believe that too be true.

[Private]

I do not like this blue-eyed dead.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

This is my fault. I am sorry. I am very sorry.

Are they who surround you?

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I am sorry that I could not prevent you from being killed as I was charged to do.

They are. One of them killed me. Edgar was like them.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

I did not know that man was a magician. You are not to blame.

What has been done to them?

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

They were turned into what Arthas is.

He is unnatural.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

Arthas. He was Iztacoliuhqui -

They must let you out soon.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

They cannot hold me longer than seven days.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

And then what will you do?

Private

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I... do not know, Coyolxauhqui.

I am frightened.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

Persephone....

I want to be with you. I am sorry I am not.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

You are lucky that the Doctor is keeping you safe.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

I am lucky. I betrayed him, but still he keeps me safe.

I would keep you safe if I could.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I know you would. It is not fair that you are still here.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

If I had not died....

Regrets now. All regrets. My brothers are gone, and I remain, as always.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

At least you are not here alone.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

No, at least I am not.

Will I see you when you leave Level 0?

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Of course you will.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

Then soon, Persephone. I will see you soon.
