Sapphire: " would you quit that already
It's not working"
Alein: " WOULD YOU SHUT UP AND MAKE ME CHISEL IN PEACE"
*SNAP*
Alein: "DAMMIT"
Alein have been trying to poke the magic circle sides with the magic stick from earlier
Sapphire: "as I said that won't work"
Alein: " I don't see you coming with any solutions any time soon"
Sapphire: " that's Because I'm thinking"
Alein: " and?"
Sapphire : "nothing so far"
Alein: " DAMMIT THIS IS YOUR FAULT
WHY DIDN'T YOU DESTROY ATTILA WHEN YOU GOT THE CHANCE"
Sapphire: " Excuse me
Isn't getting rid of Demon Lords within your job description"
Alein: "well if I was any good at it
You wouldn't be her would you"
*Tap*
*Tap*
*Tap*
*Tap*
Alein picks up the snapped stick and tries again
Sapphire: " *sigh*
We need to figure another method if you don't want to be replaced by Hotter Alein"
Alein: " Very funny
I assure you even if I died I won't be replaced by that cheap version of me"
Sapphire: " but I thought -"
Alein: " Jeanne is my next in line"
Sapphire: "but that goddess said"
Alein: "what she thinks
But after I gave Jeanne all those blessings
If I were to die she'll become the next goddess"
Sapphire: "then everything will be fine for the next world I guess"
Alein: " NOO IT WON'T
YOU THINK MY OTHER PART WILL LEAVE HER ALONE"
Sapphire: " I'm pretty sure the other gods will help her"
Alein: "oh yes they're VERRRRRY helpfully"
Sapphire: " beets some control freak goddess
Well at worst case scenario
If the world got destroyed we can count on Jeanne doing a better job than you"
Alein: " YOU THINK BEING A GODDESS EASY"
*TAP*
*TAP*
*TAP*
Sapphire: " ohhh do tell
I'm pretty sure you must be tired
From going around "blessing" people
Making schemes
Wiping out races
YOU KNOW WHAT ALEIN THIS IS YOUR FAULT
None of this would've happened if you weren't such a control freak about everything
Even that split part of you didn't seems much different from you
It's not even corrupted
It's just a copy of you "
Alein: " I'm warning you demon lord "
Sapphire: " What have I said anything wrong
None of this would've happened if you weren't such a lousy goddess "
I may have been harsh on her but my words weren't out of nowhere
This woman killed my original race
Tried to kill me
Cursed my friends
And then tried to declare war against me
I have no intention of being sugar coating her mistakes
*SNAP*
The stick snaps again
But this time it was from Aleins hand
Alein turns around and faces me
Alein: " You... TAKE... THAT... BACK..."
Sapphire: " what?"
Alein: " DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW RUNNING AN ENTIRE WORLD IS LIKE"
Sapphire: " The world seems fine to me"
Alein: " Well that's because SOME LOUSY GODDESS KEEPS RUNNING AROUND TRYING TO KEEP IT THAT WAY"
Sapphire: " oh please tell me
How was wiping out the Leviathans HELPED THE WORLD"
Alein: "DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MANY DEATHS THE LEVIATHANS CAUSED"
Sapphire: " i don't know
Like 5?"
Alein: "27630 lifes
I know that because as the goddess of souls
I CAN HEAR THEM WAILING"
Sapphire : " well that's more than 5
But those were Rouge leviathans
The leviathan race in general had no beef with humanity
They definitely didn't deserve extinction
For the crimes of the few"
Alein: " exactly
A FEW ROUGE LEVIATHANS DID THAT
WHAT DID YOU THINK IT WAS A SINGLE UNREPEATED CASE
THOSE WE'RE ONLY THE DEATHS FROM THE FIRST TIME
Tell me something
Even of the leviathans that did this got punished
DO YOU THINK THAT MATTERS FOR THE DEAD
or should I forgive or forget everything
EVEN IF I DID
THE INCIDENT WOULD REPEAT ITSELF SOONER OR LATER
SHOULD I JUST PLAY IT OF AS WELL
NOT EVERY LEVIATHAN LISTENED TO THAT LIZARD GIRLFRIEND OF YOURS "
Sapphire: " That still doesn't give you the right to keep screwing with the world"
Alein: " THE WORLD IS ONLY FUNCTIONING BECAUSE I'M KEEPING IT FUNCTIONING
WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE ONE WHO KEEPS STOPPING WARS
CURING DESEASES
SQUASHING RACISM"
Sapphire: "The world is pretty peaceful though
And I haven't seen much racism since I was born"
Alein: " YOU'RE WELCOME"
Sapphire: "and how are you involved in any of that
As far as I understand the reason the races all get along together is because the royalty kept a close friendship"
Alein: " AND WHO DO YOU THINK ASKED HONEY TO MAKE THEM FRIENDS"
Sapphire : " huh
What's Honnys role in this"
Alein: " SHE'S THE ROYAL TEACHER
HER JOB IS PREPARE THE NEXT KINGS AND QUEENS OF THE COUNTRY
BEAT SOME MORALS INTO THEM
AND SHOULD ANYONE OF THEM STEP OUT OF LINE
TO GUIDE THEM TO THE RIGHT PATH
THAT'S WHY I HIRED HER"
Now that I think about it, the only reason me and the other royalty got along well is because we all trained under Honny
Even Tigarios didn't dare to declare war in front of her
I guess Aleins method was successful
Sapphire: "what about all the people you Cursed
Why did you do that"
Alein stops for a moment
Alein: " it's not like a chose those side effects
Blessings are complicated
Even more so than curses
Natural blessings are safe
But even I can't control what side effects are on my blessings
But I had to give them
And it's not like the people a gave them too were forced to use them
That Friend of Yours that got forced by the temple
And the head priests daughter that he begged me to bless aside
All the rest were willing once I explained the situation to them just like the elf queen
That is the reason I mostly chose selfless people for this"
Alein genuinely sad about this
Sapphire: " and what about me
What did I ever do to you
The moment I was born I was already mark on your must kill list"
Alein: " HAVE YOU SEEN THE OTHER DEMON LORDS
AND HOW THEY Act ONE SUCKS SOULS
ONE STARTED A PURGE
AND ONE IS TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD
DID YOU WANT ME TO WAIT FOR YOU TO ACTUALLY SO SOMETHING BEFORE I ACT"
Sapphire: "that was the other gods decided to do"
Alein: " THE OTHER GODS
DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT THE OTHER GODS
THEY RATHER FIX THE PROBLEM THEN PREVENT IT"
Sapphire: " and what's wrong with that?"
Alein: " let me ask you something
What did my little brothers and sisters say when they realized that I'm kiddnapped
Let me guess
NOT OUR BUSINESS"
Sapphire: "...."
Alein: " DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MANY THINGS WERE LOST BECAUSE OF THAT
REALTA LOST HIS ENTIRE RACE
AND ERESH LOST A KINGDOM"
Sapphire: " it's not like they didn't do everything they could"
Alein: "THEY DID NOT
REALTA WAITED TOO LONG TO INTERVENE
AND ERESH DIDN'T PROTECT ANYONE WHO WAS NOT AT HER TEMPLE"
Sapphire: " it's not like she could do anything if they didn't attack her temple"
Alein: " is that what she told you
YOU IDIOT OF COURSE SHE CAN
SHE'S THE GODDESS OF DEATH
THE REASON SHE DOESN'T KILL ANYONE WHO DOESN'T ATTACK HER IS BECAUSE SOME STUPID VOWS SHE MADE WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG
SOMETHING ABOUT POWER AND RESPONSIBILITY"
Sapphire: "talk about a friendly neighborhood goddess"
Alein: " And meanwhile I have to run around
Keeping everything together with duct tape
And in the end I'm the BAD GUY
THE CONTROL FREEK GODDESS
THE LOUSY GODDESS"
Sapphire: " okay I get it you can calm down"
Alein: " I WILL NOT CALM DOWN
WHY DON'T YOU CALM DOWN"
*PUNCH*
*PUNCH*
*PUNCH*
Alein started losing herself and started punching me
*drip*
*drip*
Seriously why is she crying at a time like this
Sapphire: ".....
Thank you"
Alein: "..."
Sapphire: "....."
Alein: "..."
Sapphire: "....."
Alein: "....
What?"
Sapphire: " thank you.. For your hard work"
Although I certainly admit this goddess is nasty
Everything she did was out of good will
Sapphire: " I get why you did what you did to the leviathans"
As much as I criticize her I'm no better
I wipedout the spiders and almost wiped the plant girls on a whim..
Sapphire: " and I know how sometimes you have to make hard decisions"
Although I didn't directly state it
I allowed alot of Demons to be purged to start my own kingdom
There must have been a less bloody way but I honestly didn't care
Sapphire: " I also know how it's hard to lead people"
Seriously
If I don't keep Pendragon in check she'll wipe out half the continent
Sapphire: " and after meeting Atilla I see why you were afraid of me"
If she expected me to be the same as her I don't blame her for trying to kill me
Heck if I was like her I'd kill myself
Sapphire: " as much as I bad hate to admit it I'm not much different than"
I did alot of things that I'm not proud of since I came to this world
I killed
I lied
I cheated
The only difference I did it for myself
She's been doing it since the beginning of time but all for her people
Sapphire: " so thank you
If you didn't run such a great world I wouldn't have enjoyed it
Sorry for calling you a lousy goddess"
Honestly my opinion of her was a little better already thanks to Pearla
I asked for embarrassing stories but instead she kept selling Alein charming points for me
What did she also say
Something about a friend that Alein one losts
Sapphire: " Also sorry for Whaley"
*POUNCE*
