And I can only imagine how horrible hell would be.”Mirashi Iso: “How could I throw off the corruption of fifty years in but a short span?”Shard: "You have already taken the first step by caring for me. I don't know if it is possible or not dear, but if shouldn't you start with asking yourself whether you wish to try or not...and then ask yourself why?"Mirashi Iso: "And my power?  All of my power stems from darkness, dear Shard.  Were I separated from it, I might not be able to defend you."Shard: "My only thought used to be about defending myself and look where it got me the first time. If Darkwolf didn't wish to harm me for my part in Kith's death, I can't imaging that any of the others would wish to."Mirashi Iso: "Power on earth, or you in the afterlife... that is an easy decision to make. I wish to try, but do not know how"Shard: "Perhaps first we can look at how you view the world and those in it. For instance, what do you think of those who follow the Light or Honor Paths?"Mirashi Iso: "They are weak.  I have never failed to defeat them in combat.  They waste their energies on foolish actions, when they would be better spent improving themselves"Shard: "But what if they are improving themselves...spiritually for instance."Mirashi Iso: "I've seen no sign of that from any of these so-called 'warriors of light. Many of them are as spiritually unenlightened as the peasants they try to protect"Shard: "As I haven't had much contact with them personally, I can't say really. You said that the choice was easy between being with me in heaven or having power here on earth. I hope you meant that you would choose me. But even then, you would be making the choice to be with me, not because you wish to be in heaven I believe. Perhaps it's the same with the Honor and Light fighters. They live the lives they must because they wish to meet their loved ones in Heaven as well. But I doubt that as well. Something tells me that such a choice cannot hold true if it is made for another. It would be false and you would falter if you were trying to make such a change in yourself for anyone but you."Mirashi Iso: "What can I do then?  I wish to be with you in heaven but have only contempt for the Light"Shard: "I would not think that you would have to change yourself to such a different state. Yet without such drastic change, how can atonement be made I wonder? Perhaps heaven is just not meant for such as us. Perhaps I should pursue darker paths in order to stay by your side now and forever..."Mirashi Iso: "NO!  I don't want you to give up heaven... You are so clever at manipulating me.  Very well, I'll do my best to redeem myself before my death, so that we may spend eternity together in heaven."Shard: "Actually, I was serious my love. I would go to hell itself to spend eternity with you. But seeing your reaction is a telling sign. As to your redemption. We shall see what we can do. I'm sure that there is still power and strength to be had even if it's source is not the Darkness."Mirashi Iso: "I used to be a common thug, before the Darkness claimed me.  It was then that I suffered my one and only defeat. We shall see, my lover.  I shall issue a challenge; should I win, I will try to climb back out of this pit of Darkness I have fallen into."Shard: "Very well,  my love. I wish you luck then! I shall meet you afterward."</blockquote>
