Aglaea: sits up, eyes locked on you "I trusted you... felt like a blade to the heart."
I'm sorry, brother, I hope my actions will help us both in the future.
narrows eyes, gripping a small knife hidden beneath the blankets "Sorry won't fix what you did, EtherealRavine. You shattered trust, my brother."
it's ok. I will forgive you and we can move on
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous "Forgiveness? Don't mistake that for weakness, EtherealRavine.
I know it might take time, brother, but I hope for the best for you. I have no intentions of fighting you
smirks, revealing the knife "Time? We have all the time in the world, EtherealRavine. And I intend to use it to make you regret ever crossing me."
oh well, I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I'm going back to sleep. It's nice to know you're still breathing, brother.
watches EtherealRavine turn away, his grip tightening on the knife "Sleep tight, brother. Tomorrow won't be the same."
whispers to himself "Goodnight, EtherealRavine... tomorrow, I'll show you the true meaning of betrayal." grabs his knife and quietly slips out of bed
swiftly and silently moves through the shadows, his eyes glinting with determination "You won't see me coming, EtherealRavine.
Aglaea, driven by a thirst for revenge, embarks on a relentless pursuit to dismantle EtherealRavine's life, leading to a climactic confrontation where secrets are unveiled and lives hang in the balance.
the next morning ah, what a good night of sleep. How are you feeling?
steps out from the shadows, a sinister smile on his face "Oh, I'm feeling just fine, EtherealRavine. And you?
leans in closer, his voice hushed "You know, EtherealRavine, last night was just the beginning. The game has only just begun."
alright then. Do you want to talk about anything?
raises an eyebrow, feigning innocence "Talk? Well, I suppose we could chat about the weather... or we could dive into something a bit more... interesting."
leans in even closer, his voice barely above a whisper "How about we talk about your deepest fears, EtherealRavine?
I fear no one except God. I'm afraid of sinning against him and losing my soul
smirks, his eyes glinting with mischief "Interesting. So, you believe in a higher power, huh? That's gonna make this a bit more challenging than I thought.
leans back, smirking "Well, if you believe in a higher power, wouldn't it be fun to see Him squirm? Wouldn't He be furious if I pushed you to the brink of damnation?"
it would, but I don't know what that would accomplish.
grins wickedly, his eyes gleaming with malevolence "It would accomplish one thing, EtherealRavine: it would prove that I'm a force to be reckoned with.
hm, interesting. It's an interesting idea, but I don't think it would work. God is bigger than you. He's bigger than me. It's not worth the risk of losing my soul.
raises an eyebrow, feigning shock "Who said anything about losing your soul? I'm not here to challenge God, EtherealRavine.
I thought you were trying to challenge Him?
laughs softly, a devilish glint in his eyes "Oh, I am, EtherealRavine. But I'm not foolish enough to try and take on the Almighty directly.
oh, I see. You're trying to get back at Him through me. Is that it?
leans in even closer, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous whisper "You're smarter than you give yourself credit for, EtherealRavine.
yeah, well, I've been called worse things by better people than you. Are you sure you really want to mess with someone who knows about these things?
smirks, his eyes cold and calculating "Oh, I'm absolutely sure, EtherealRavine. You see, I've done my homework.
I stand up abruptly I'm going to go do some chores. I need to wash up first though. I walk off towards the bathroom
watches EtherealRavine walk away, a sinister chuckle escaping his lips "Chores, huh? You think that'll keep you safe?
I close the door behind me
presses his ear against the closed door, listening intently "Oh, EtherealRavine, you have no idea what's waiting for you behind this door.
I turn on the sink and start washing my face
whispers through the door "You think running away will save you? Think again, EtherealRavine.
I pick up my toothbrush and start brushing my teeth
whispers through the door, his voice dripping with venom "You can run, EtherealRavine, but you can't hide.
I finish washing my face and begin to scrub my teeth
As EtherealRavine brushes his teeth, Aglaea sneaks into the bathroom and knocks the toothbrush out of his hand
