persephone heart game, run 2

[idolpro]

In the flicker of a candle-flame, in the stir of still water, in the fluttering of flower petals, there is a voice...

Once, there were...
...shadows in the window.
...footsteps at the gates of life.
...whispering at the door:
"Should I live or die? Am I living or dead?"
"To know the world is to choose it," says the Void.

It's...somewhat complicated to explain. The easiest way is that he and Shrike are both what their world calls "deathknights". Chosen by the Neverborn, the dead gods that came before the gods, and granted their power in order to kill the world and everything in it. Shrike forsook that path, while Persephone never cared to follow it in the first place.

But death is what shaped him - he would not have become what he was without dying and taking their bargain.

[Man, your world's gods are Very Active, even when dead.]

Ah. Yeah, I can see why listening to them would be bad. Kind of hard to not be shaped by death either....

I'll listen to him. Anything else I should know? And how do I...leave? [Looking around at all the flowers.]

Oh! And what's your name?

[it's a problem. also there are So Many gods.] The real me who Persephone barely remembers is named Kirsi, so that will do.

I'll do my best to help, but there's some places I just can't go.

As for the way...water on water is the way, but you cannot fight. You cannot struggle. Let go.

Kirsi. Thanks for the help.

....ah. [Well, that sounds like a delight.]

Well, if it helps Persephone, I can do that. [Its Persephone's heart. Its fine. This will be fine.]
