Hydaelyn and Zodiark were together, once. Two halves to a whole for balance. When Zodiark craved further power, Hydaelyn cast Him away. Now all the worlds that were created as a result of the split fight to maintain balance between Light and Dark.
Dark is... an increasing problem back home. Hydaelyn chose to impart Her blessing upon me. I will not die, and I can hear all languages. I cannot be tainted and corrupted by other malevolent forces. But in exchange, I must do what I can to maintain the balance.
[She shrugged and focused on the grass.]
...I just wanted to dance. I'm... not entirely cut out for the 'saving the world' mumbo-jumbo.
[It's a hollow smile, but it's gone just like that. She really had nobody who would do that sort of thing. Everyone else would just be corrupted by the next primal they met, so it was her. It was always her.
Because who else would? When even ex-villains would show their exasperation on always sending the woman to do the job rather than an army, you had to wonder.
Madhuri drew in a breath and stood.]
I'm sorry. It's likely I sound like a fool for hating it, when so many others must want a destiny like that.
[She folded her arms. There would be no pitying look, but rather the passing glance of two friends having a conversation. He didn't quite answer the question, but seeing as she's seen him riding solo before, she got the gist of a 'loner' type.]
If you're sure. Until then, I'll... ooh. I haven't composed a story about Aimintas yet! I should work on that.

I hope there are people who would walk that path with you.
[ Said carefully, a certain melancholy in his eyes. ]
This is a burden that one person should not have to bear by themselves.

[ This he says with a shake of his head, grey eyes hardening into steel ]
That destiny drives people to ruin and despair.
no subject
...It does. Ha... I think I've waited far too long for someone to get that. It doesn't change my position, and once I go back, it'll only continue.
But here? I'm Madhuri. You're Julius. It's... it's nice. To me, anyway.

[ He lifts his head, gazing at her in pensiveness ]
It's best for me if I do not return to my world. Should you need help with yours... I can come.
[ Never again will he leat another be abandoned to the same insanity that had consumed himself. ]
no subject
That's sweet of you. I certainly won't turn down an offer like that.
[Ahh, just ask. Ask, ask, ask.]
But... Would you be alright?
no subject
Should I return, a great disaster will befall my world. It is in its best interests that I leave.
