Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery, Part II

[Bront]

"Alyz thinks she's found a way to bring him back, but she needs my help. It'd be him, alive, in his own body. And I don't know why I can't simply say yes to her." She breaks into a sob "I miss daddy so much."

OOC: I've always envisioned her as someone who'd call her dad Daddy, but she refers to him in general in the past as Father, as it helps her deal with her feelings of loss, by focusing on the positive and good memories, and distancing herself form what she called him. That's why she keeps swaping who she refers to him as.

*Zythryd hugs Vasha, trying to comfort her.*

"Vasha...I know you miss your father, and I promised, so I won't say anything unless you want me to."

 

[Bront]

"You think it's something wrong, and bad, and evil. I can tell, and you can say so but how can bringing back such a good man be bad?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"It's just that...I don't know how it would be done, and I can only assume the worst, especially considering Lhyzra's track record...You know, some kind of demonic necromantic ritual..."

 

[Bront]

"Alyz' is not like that, but daddy is her obsession. She blames herself for everything, and even though she did what she did to him to spare him, and it still haunts her, and keeps her from healing. She admits some of what she did was vile to raise him, but she thinks she can do it now, and do it without anything depraved. Just... something seems not right. But to not do it means to not bring back daddy."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Is it right to use something gained from the research obtained by vile methods? Or is it worse not to use it and let the loss be in vain? I don't think there is an easy answer to that question."

 

[Bront]

Vasha nods and holds Zythryd tight. "She promised nothing more of her admittedly depraved experiments, but in her way she's been trying to help. I don't know if bringing Daddy back will help her heal, but it might, or it might be worse if he still wishes to return to Mom. But if she realy can do it, it might hurt her more if she doesn't. She feels she needs me, because his soul will be more likely to come if I'm there, and I can help her use a small bit of the Jewel's essance, so ultimately it's my choice."

She sighs "What's a girl to do..."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I don't know what to tell you, Vasha. I wouldn't do it if I were you, but that's because I don't trust Crown Princess Lhyzra. Considering that you do trust her, that would change things a lot, I think..."

 

[Bront]

"Can you see why judging her is not right though Zythryd? There is so much more than the Crown Princess that you know, which is what she does in public so she can be left alone in private."

"Thank you though, for everything. Your shoulder means a lot to me, and I've missed it for all this time."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I'm glad to help, and I only hope that my voice of caution can help you make the right choice, whatever you choose," Zythryd replies with a smile, as he teases "But you'd better not have summoned any demons while I was gone!"
