Reviving this madness upon the realms again, bringing a new threat to Earthrealm...

Altering the story does not change the devastation that will come with your unknown invasion. The Earthrealm has moved on, forgotten. It is not ready.

I will do as I must, but I urge you to see: you do not know what you are dealing with.

Your mundane has committed a great sin. Altering history is betraying the actions of the people we have left behind. To do such a thing or even wish for it is foolish.

[Yet she was under the cowardly belief that was the right thing until recently. She knows that shame.]

Indeed, my mundane is a fool for opening the portals between realms and allowing rebirth of souls long at peace.

What troubles me is that he will not be the one suffering for his sins.

Is rebirth unusual in your realm, then? Forgive me, but all souls in mine reincarnate with the exception of those who are welcome in the Throne of Heroes or special places for their famous or infamous deeds in life.

Indeed, they seldom suffer any consequence for their cruelty and disregard.

It is not unusual but it is not well advised. Reincarnation is an unnatural act for the mortal soul. Great repercussions are met.

[ But then he's not actually mortal. Just born in the Earthrealm. ]

I see. That is how they differ, it is natural as part of the cycle. Souls are rewritten and resent to Earth. Although much of the vigor of the past has been lost or so it is believed.

Your realm is strange to me, but perhaps the natural reincarnation is a comfort to some.

I suppose, but it would mean the person they used to be ceases to exist for good. They cannot go back to their past life that is erased completely. So, your world could be comforting to others.

You speak of experience. [ He would rather reincarnation be a part of a natural cycle than not. Seeing his brother's soul, even if it was not the same person when reincarnated, would be far more comforting than seeing what he had become at the hands of the Netherrealm. ]

More or less. My soul was said to be a dragon before I was reborn.

[ He hesitates to share for a moment but: ] My brother was resurrected from the Netherrealm long ago. He is an indistinguishable evil from what he once was.

I do not feel any repercussions to my reincarnation but that may not last.

I see. Well, resurrection is not the same as being reincarnated. [ It involves sorcery ] Is there any way to change him back?

You possesses all your old life memories and yet you're not the same man? That's not something I have heard it ever happened.

[ The nature of his return is unknown to him. Reincarnated, resurrected... he does not know. ] There is not. Those whose souls have landed in the Netherrealm stay. To return from that is not possible.

[ not to his knowledge ]

Everything remains the same but my body, yes. It is not something I can explain.

Is this Netherrealm an 'afterlife' or similar in concept? If souls who land there are meant to stay, then how did your brother return?

Have you always been aware of who you used to be or do those memories awoken in time?

Yes, for those who have committed evil deeds during their time on Earthrealm. Netherreakn has natives, most of them demons. Some of great power capable of the unnatural, such as necromancy.

This boy whose body I stay in was to die in a household fire that took his family. I kept his body alive. [ a beat ] What of you. You know well of history and how it should not be altered.

What about those who did not commit evil deeds? Where do their souls rest? [ She doesn't ask why did his brother end up in that place. ]

You are not the boy's soul? But possesses it after he met his fate, then? [ She raises an eyebrow. Then a long pause, it's difficult to admit her folly. ] I once foolishly wished to change the past and alter the fate that has fallen upon my people. So I sought a miracle to accomplish it. Until I learned to simply accept what happened and take pride with the choices I made.

Their souls go to the Heavens. [ Thoughtful of her. If he had died earlier, he would be there too. There were plenty of blood on his hands but he sought redemption - perhaps not even purposely. Not from fear but from the best of himself. Someone had been grateful. ]

That would be an explanation. I hold his memories, I know his life, but I am not him. [ Fate has a strange way of working ]

Revenge is a great motivator for many things, some honorable and some foolish. [ some both ]

Heaven exists in your world? There is the belief it does in mine, held by many cultures, but it does not seem to be the case. I wish it did, so the souls of the people could find peace there. [ Unfortunately, that is never the case. ]

Ah. So you were summoned to that body, in a way. By who, I wonder.

You are misunderstanding me. [ She shakes her head. ] I did not wish for revenge, I wanted to save my kingdom from its inevitably ruin because I thought I had failed my oath as the king.

They do. It is unfortunate that it does not exist in your world.

[ There is a tip of his head as if to say, yes - perhaps that. He is no God, he could not say. ] My apologies.

How did ruin come to your people?

There is a realm that is a perfect utopia where death, illness and suffering cannot happen. But that distant place is inaccessible to most except a selected few.

[ She tips her head to a side. ] Perhaps your mundane knows the answer. Have you asked him?

Well. [ It's an old story. ] Have you ever heard about Camelot or the tale of the Knights of the Round Table? My apologies if you do not, but it seems to be a legend that is present in several worlds.

My mun does not hold my respect. [ rather to the point.

A beat, then a tip of his head. ] It is not a story that exists in mine.

I not not ask you to trust your mundane, but he can have the answers you seek.

Does chivalry exists? The tale is about the origin and decline of it.

Without trust, his word is meaningless to me. [ :| Like you trust anyone, Kuai. ]

Not, I think, in the same fashion that you know it.

Even if the enemy is known to boast and gloat in their moments of weakness?

In what manner does it exist? Is it not the honor of knights and rules of engagement during a combat that protect the weak and the innocent to stop men to become beasts?
