Goodbye.

[Private to Coyo, Sirius, Dracula, Loki, Kay, Rhade, Brax.]

I need to see you. Now.

[Added after she's talked to her people in person.]

When I came here, I did not expect to be here long. I thought that it would be easy to simply graduate an inmate and then leave. I did not realize how hard it was to change the ways of mortals, and I did not realize how much worse it would be with people leaving, or being taken.

Then I worried that the Admiral may have been lying, and I stayed after Edgar graduated. I did not expect what happened next, but now I understand why.

I am done here. I am sorry to those who I have hurt, and I hope that you are able to leave here soon.

The gardens should prosper, even in my absence. I have fortified them.

As you wish.

Dracula shows up at her door a few minutes later, shifting slightly with unaccustomed apprehension. Something either has changed or will change, and he does not like it.

"Done"?

[most_feared]

Sure. I'll come by. When do you want me?

[Private] As a note, he will probably be coming after the flood.

[truth_is_cold]

I'm coming, my Lady.

It sounds urgent. Why?

Assuming something was wrong, Sirius hurried to Persephone's room without further ado. Thoughts of that damned other Barge were still close at hand, despite the time that continued to pass. He knew they weren't one and the same; this Persephone wasn't in any danger. That didn't stop him from knocking a bit harder than he had intended.

Are you alright? I'm coming now.

I am sad to see you go, but if you are able to freely leave, that is something you should be proud of.

Persephone has been sitting in her room and thinking about things since her meeting with Biff, and she is sad because she doesn't want to hurt any of her friends. Funny how such a thing wouldn't have mattered when she came.

When he knocked on her door, Persephone took him by the hand and led him in.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I have graduated.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Soon.

[Private] Okay.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Good. I look forward to seeing you.

It is urgent.

[He's both glad and sad to hear that she graduated. But he does come around almost immediately.

After all these floods and breaches, and seeing alternate versions of people, he still thinks that somehow there's a little bit of his daughter in there. Knowing she'll live and be free is comforting.

It's not long before he knocks on her door.]

[Once he's shaken Narvin after the flood, he does rush to her room. He knows she's going to leave, and while he didn't want to drag an unwilling Time Lord before a god, he doesn't want to miss her before she goes.

He actually ends up running and adjusting his clothes primly before he knocks on the door.]

"Persephone, what is it?" he tried to keep the concern from his voice, but something in her urgency had him...

...well, he didn't have a word for it. "Jumping around inside" came close.

I will come quickly.

[Coyolxauhqui hobbled her way to Persephone's cabin, an odd feeling lodged in the pit of her stomach. The tone was urgent, but Coyolxauhqui didn't sense that a disaster had struck. If the tone was urgent and there hadn't been an incident, it could only really mean one thing -- and the divinity wasn't sure how she was going to handle the news.

She knocked on the door and waited with arms wrapped around her waist to partially cover the bandages.]

Persephone blinked when the knock on the door was loud, and she moved towards it quickly, pulling it open. When she saw who it was on the other side of the door, Persephone took his hand and pulled him inside with her.

I am fine. Come, please.

Thank you, Armand.

Deciding the best thing she could do was not to beat about the bush, Persephone touched his face and then she spoke softly. "I have graduated. My time here is coming to an end. You are part of the reason for this, and I than you for it."

[When he knocked, Persephone opened the door with a smile, and then she stepped back to allow him the chance to enter in further.]

Thank you for coming. I am glad to see you.

He opened his mouth to try and congratulate her; that was what she deserved after all. But something had seized up inside of him, and he stopped to examine it, blinking briefly. He turned a kiss into her palm while he struggled for words.

My chest feels very strange right now.

"Whatever aid I have given you, I am glad of it. You for your part have taught an old beast what it is to look up to women instead of taking them for granted." His voice sounded strained, and he blinked again, shaking his head slightly.

"I am a little...dazed, I suppose, is the word, but..."

He chose his words carefully.

"If you must go, and it is your choice, then I should be glad for you. This place is too cramped and full of squabbles and miseries for one such as you. I always thought so."

He wasn't glad for her. He was fighting himself inside. But other than that he meant every word.

[When there was the knock on the door, Persephone opened it quickly, but her smile softened, becoming more real when she saw that it was her sister goddess who was on the other side of the doors. She felt a flash of something, and realized it was guilt when she saw the bandages.]

Come in my beloved, Coyolxauhqui.
