[It's as their leaving the execution sight that Jae-ha manages to see Sandalphon and he offers a smile:]

It seems that the Green Dragon does indeed get to survive another day.

Good news, isn't it?

[Sandalphon doesn't return the expression. Is it so good to survive another day, only to perhaps die the next?]

You seemed so ready to face your death yesterday.

I'd already given up before I arrived at this castle. And we're hardly the first players in this farce.

[That's awkward. Please turn away.]

What use does a sacrificial pawn possess, once discarded? I was to face judgment for my crimes. If not there, then why not here?

[Although . . . the inclusion of partners has seriously thrown a wrench in his tentative plans.]

[Ugh.]

It was a rampage. I had no reason other than that I felt there was no other path. Of course, that path was futile too.

[Sandalphon averts his gaze. Even now, remembering it feels like a fresh stab wound.

Darkness. Anger. Hatred. Regret. Pain.]


Why does that matter? At the end of the day, I thrust the sky realm into a state of chaos and endangered the lives of thousands of skydwellers. Here, I'm just a villain who's getting his due.

A discarded pawn has nothing of worth to offer. Redemption is wasted on a wretch like me.

[Chance? What kind of a chance is this?]

What nonsense. I know what I am, and I'm simply abiding by what the higher power has decreed. He deemed my physical manifestation unnecessary to the world and erased me from that plane of existence. Who am I to question or defy his judgment?

[Sandalphon bristles, and he snaps back in response.]

What do you know about him? I'm the one who doubted him in the first place. The fault lies with me. I was wrong!

[And it's hardly the fault of his progenitor that he turned out to be so unremarkable.]

[His breath catches. Love? Is that a joke?]

Wha . . . what does that have to do with this?

[He won't say anything about that. He refuses. What he feels about Lucifer is something he won't think upon—it'll only hurt.]

It doesn't matter. I'm useless either way; my feelings are irrelevant.

He didn't tell me anything.

[Sandalphon grits his teeth. Productive, he says.]

That's enough. I have nothing more to say.

[His teeth go slack as he scowls.]

I was angry for two thousand years. It's about time that I let go.

[He's quiet, if for a moment. Once, he felt all of those emotions. His answer now is clipped, monotonous.]

I am an archangel. Those feelings have no place in my being.

[personal profile] melancoffeea 2018-06-15 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
What do you know about what it means to be an archangel? Each of us is created with a purpose, and that task is paramount. Emotions are a distraction that hinders our ability to think logically.

My purpose may no longer be relevant, but I'm still an archangel.

[Those are optimistic, uplifting words—but he's tired of fighting. Sandalphon takes a quiet but deep breath.]

Fine. I've heard what you had to say. This conversation is over.
melancoffeea: (12)

[personal profile] melancoffeea 2018-06-15 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, rest assured. I won't.

[Jae-ha probably won't let him forget. With that, Sandalphon will take his leave.]
