Then why would I think you're a monster? Because your body changed on you?

[counterattack]

you never used your magic to hurt anyone who didn't deserve it. you never used it to scare people, or to force them to do things they didn't want to do. it's different.

[rinwell]

No, it's not! If you really were a monster, then none of what happened would bother you. You wouldn't feel regret or hurt, or mourn. I know you. You would NEVER do any of those things without any other choice available to you.

The incense gave you no choice. It's never given anyone any choices before, and it didn't in Tikal once the earthquakes started and that awful laughter began.

Well. Have you heard? About that unicorn?

[counterattack]

what unicorn? did one get out?

[rinwell]

Escape?

No, this one's never been tamed or caught before. It's called an 'opaline unicorn', and its meant to be very special.

[counterattack]

oh, that one. i think i heard about it. someone said i should be able to catch it, but it's probably better if no one does. it's not just some animal. it sounds smart

[rinwell]

I don't want to catch it. I do want to see it, though. Out in the wild, like the phoenix.

And if it can do what they say it can
