a quick voicetest. (canon is Greek mythology.)

[thelightofgreece]

 Why should I go anywhere else except to the land of the dead? You don't understand.

I loved my father. I did what I could for him, and I am proud to have done so. 

I went willingly for a reason.

[thelightofgreece]

[She smiles.]

I know. I was not afraid, in the end.

[cassie_of_troy]

Perhaps you'll do well as a worldwalker, then.

[thelightofgreece]

Perhaps. I know I can be brave.

[cassie_of_troy]

Brave is part of it, yes.

But there's another important quality to it. One that a Greek girl may not possess.

[thelightofgreece]

What is that quality?

[cassie_of_troy]

The capacity to imagine a life beyond the safety of double doors.

[thelightofgreece]

Ah. So I would not be safe.

Or at least, not as safe.

[cassie_of_troy]

No. But then, safety is an illusion.

[thelightofgreece]

Of course. I was never safe, in the end.

[cassie_of_troy]

No.

Not with a father like that.

[thelightofgreece]

I did what I had to do.

Some may think that he was cruel, but I adored him.

He was right about everything.

[cassie_of_troy]

Watch your tongue, girl. I can name quite a few things he was wrong about.

[thelightofgreece]

Oh? Like what?

[cassie_of_troy]

He raped and murdered my race.

[thelightofgreece]

[She's silent for a moment.]

You lost the war, didn't you?

[cassie_of_troy]

I never fought it.

[thelightofgreece]

[Iphigenia looks down, frowning.]

I was taught we were fighting barbarians.

[cassie_of_troy]

Funny.

I was told the same thing.

[thelightofgreece]

--Really? [She's actually astonished.]

[cassie_of_troy]

Well. My people don't practice human sacrifice.

[thelightofgreece]

I was the light of Greece. A martyr.

[cassie_of_troy]

You were a device.

Artemis is the protector of virgins. Did you ever wonder why that edict was made?

[thelightofgreece]

I never questioned it. It wasn't my place.

[cassie_of_troy]

You need to learn to ask questions.

[thelightofgreece]

Isn't that dangerous for a woman?
