[ elysia has witnessed sacrifice before, but that does not mean she likes it. eupha is too ready for it, and elysia does not like that either even if she may understand it.
still, her smile is as it usually is, if not a little sad. ]
[ ah. she sees it now, how eupha's religion had been made her whole life, how she thought her purpose was to die. her heart swells. if i cannot save them in death... then i swear.... i'll protect them in life!
she is so glad for this revelation, for eupha. ]
I think it was you, yourself. Maybe you had help by the people around you, but you chose that. You were so beautiful in that moment, Eupha. I was blinded.
[ even if elysia wants to know what she pulled out of her chest. ]
It's difficult to explain, but... it transmuted into something else, and... at that moment, I felt that I needed to speak into it. To declare the path I chose, as if to make a pact.
[ and yet she couldn't do it with the megaphone... ]
It's what's known as an "Archetype." A sort of ancient magic that allows one to take a form embodying a hero of legend.
Such power had been lost to the ages, but those people who were with me were able to wield it. It must have been because of them that it awakened in me as well.

Did this human open your eyes up to something?
[ why the hesitation? ]

[ the surface of the mirror shifts, and another memory takes form. this time, of the dragon and the human, and the moment the priestess awakened. ]

R, really?

That means so much, coming from you...

[ even if elysia doesn't say everything she could, everything she says is sincere. ]
Can I ask... what happened after you made that choice? It looked like you pulled something out of your chest.
no subject
[ well. ]

A pact? It looked like you were empowered, in a way.
[ the megaphone is mysterious... ]
