Eleventh Vision

[Action/Private thought]

[Wataru couldn't sleep. Part of it was, admittedly, Savyna's disappearance. He was worried about her, of course, and there wasn't really much he could do about it.

The other part was... well, everyone else. His friends, from Vision and earth, and most importantly, his mother. When was the last time he had seen her? Only briefly, when he had walked down the Corridor of Light to visit her from Vision. It was hardly any time at all. And she had looked so thin then...

And then there was the matter of his friends in Vision. Kee Keema and Meena would surely worry about him, if they'd known what happened. And his journey to meet the Goddess of Fate - what would happen when he returned? Halnera was in effect, and the last Traveler to reach the Tower would be sacrificed. Two minus one equals one. Mitsuru had already been ahead of him, even before he ended up in the Pokémon world. Was he now doomed? Had Mitsuru been able to reach the tower unhindered, leaving him as the only one left remaining? All because somewhere in his heart, there was a world that demanded sacrifices.

With these thoughts troubling him, Wataru sits by a window in the hallway of the inn, staring out at the stars.]

[When Wataru turns on the Gear, he looks a little uncertain. He doesn't really know if anyone is even awake at this hour, nor if anyone would bother answering even if they were, but... he wants to know anyway.]

Does anyone know... what would make a goddess or a god need a sacrifice?

... I couldn't sleep.

[ Kisa's also been kind of bad at it ever since she woke up after a week of doing just that. ]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

Me, neither.

[With a small sigh, he sits back in his seat.]

I couldn't think of anything else to do, so I came out here... what about you?

[action]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

I didn't want to wake anyone else up...

[action]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

Well, you didn't wake me up. I didn't even realize you were up and about.

[action]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

[ she nods, a little relieved. ] You were talking to someone...?

[action]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

[Ack!]

Er... Well, kind of...

[action]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

...?

[action]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to ask everybody something. To see what they'd say.

It's not that important, though! I was just... curious, that's all.

[He's uncomfortable enough with people asking him the reason behind his question, much less Kisa...]

What was it?

Re: [action]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

Well... I was wondering why gods and goddesses need sacrifices. You know, like in the stories?

[Stories. Right.]

[ Kisa flinches slightly, biting her lip. ]

I don't know... maybe... because they need to feel like they're... worth that much.

[Wataru just looks away, deep in thought.]

Maybe... It just seems so weird for someone who grants wishes to do something like require a sacrifice...

[action]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

There's always a price.

[action]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

But lots of people could make wishes without her taking a sacrifice. That's just something she does every one thousand years. I wish I knew why she has to, though.

[action]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

She?

[action]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

...The Goddess of Fate.

[action]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

... You know her?

[action]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

...Kind of. I know of her, because of what my friends in Vision and the gemstones told me, but I haven't met her yet.

[action]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

... [ Kisa is a little lost. ] Do you... have a wish?

[action]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

You could say that.

[action]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

[ Kisa looks curious, but ultimately decides not to ask. He'd tell her if he felt like it. ]

[action]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs it off with a smile.]

What about you? If you could make any wish, what would it be?

[action]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

... Any wish?

[action]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

Anything! But you only get one.

[action]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

Um...
