"All of that, Eira? She doesn't need our wringing hands, our sighs, our sympathy, however genuine it may be. And let's not pretend we care about mankind or the sanctity of reality."
Helen is up now, eyes bright, crackling with the power of... belief in herself? Wow, that didn't take much. One compliment and a fairly chaste kiss?
"Miss Blair. Ancient Fairy Dragon. Whatever names and forms you wish to wear are none of my business. You and our clan have been intertwined for thousands of years. Gilgamesh was not a story you invented. You were there. You drove back the nameless fae hordes with our grandparents. You were named the other name you wore by one of our clan. They were all real, I promise you.
I will not speak for my mad sister, your lost lover, for while I know her heart and why she did what she did, those words are for between the two of you. But I can speak for the proper history the world should have. Your bonds with my clan are eternal, unbreakable, even in the face of nonexistence. It is evidenced by the fact that despite the world rejecting our existence, you still wore a name we gave you, you still told the story of Gilgamesh as best you could. Eira speaks loftily, and while I agree with some of it in principle, I personally do not give one iota of a fuck for the world of man or the sanctity of reality. I care for my family and I will have them back.
If you wish to undo the things you've done, the prisons you've kept, I will happily help you throw them all wide open in return for your help with my goal."
