Oh good! Not causing too much trouble with WL are you~? XD

[moonlit_star]

Oh my sweet little lady. This is not being grown up. This is a mockery of the beautiful, strong, and smart woman I know you will become. I wanted you to grow up in time, when it was right.

But you are not wrong in that I wanted your love because you are my precious beautiful star. I want nothing more than to be a little selfish with your love. I'm afraid that you mean so much to me, just like your father, I wanted you to myself.

mm, everyone is being such fantastic sports about it.. :c ... 8}

[impureserenity]

A century is not enough time? What about nine of them!

You've had me for a millennium!

XD <3 I'm glad!

[moonlit_star]

Indeed, I have had you for a millennium. And you were a child for just as long. But the greatest sort of power takes time and temperance. And you were never alone in that waiting, we were all beside you.

[But it was the death of Pluto, that was to be the catalyst. The true awakening of both Small Lady, and herself.] The awakening of the princess of the Earth and Moon is a very monumental moment in time. It cannot be something rushed.

And even you understand that a millennium is not enough. Even now, you wish for your father.

[impureserenity]

You hogged him long enough.

Spare me the dramatics, you simply did not want to be bested.

[moonlit_star]

[It hurts that Small Lady sees it that way, but she knows that Small Lady is possessed by the darkness.]

It is only the truth, Small Lady. I am capable of many things, but I cannot force the awakening of a senshi.

[impureserenity]

I don't want to be a stupid senshi! I want to be a lady! And a lady I am!

Wicked Lady!

[moonlit_star]

This is not your own power. This is the taint of darkness. It is not your own awakening but someone forcing it upon you. If it were truly your own, Small Lady, you would not need the power of another for you would have your own inner strength. You would have your own power that is unique to you and you alone, as all the senshi do.

But the power of the Dark Crystal is the same.

[impureserenity]

The power does come from me! He awakened it from me, in less time than you kept me prisoner for!

Do you even know what it was like?? You horrid mother. You should have just satisfied yourself with a doll!

[moonlit_star]

It is not your own power, Small Lady! His demise would prove that much to you!

[The next words out of Small Lady's mouth cut so deep, so sharply it takes her breath away for a moment. The sheer amount of venom in the word mother, a title she holds in the highest regard nearly bring her to her knees in tears.]

Tell me then. [She whispers.] Tell me how it has been so horrible.

[impureserenity]

For a thousand damn years I've watched you get all the love, I have been patronized, bullied, and forgotten. But not you, you have made sure to be the center of the universe!

For a thousand years I was stuck in that body, underage, underdeveloped, and all I could do was wither in resentment!

[moonlit_star]

[She listens in silence. Her heart is breaking but she listens. Because not all of it is wrong. Oh, most of it certainly and she has no excuses. She had tried so hard to balance her role as queen and raising her child and being a good wife and dear friend. Sometimes the attention someone deserved fell through the cracks and she had no one but herself to blame.

But she could address the problems.]

That you feel this way, Small Lady, I am so sorry that you felt as if you could never once blossom and grow and shine. [She takes a deep breath because no matter how toxic the words, this is not truly her daughter. Oh, this is certainly her daughters darkest feelings, preyed upon and amplified until all joy and light is gone. But it did not diminish the real problems there.]

But what makes you think I had any control in regards to the repression of your powers? If I am so powerful as you claim, why have I not stopped them now?

[impureserenity]

You had every control, and only now you know the poison you've planted in my heart because of the manipulation you had over my body.

[moonlit_star]

[Another deep cut, but it only strengthens her resolve.]

Poison, you say? I'm not sure how I could poison you so thoroughly since by your own proclamation, I neglected you.

[impureserenity]

The seed of resentment, due to your mistreatment, wast he poison that coiled my heart and sprouted darkness.

[moonlit_star]

And what was my mistreatment, Small Lady. What did I do that was horrible? If there are so many grievances, it should be easy enough to list a few to me.

[impureserenity]

Neglect, cruelty, imprisonment, belittlement, coldness–– and so forth.

[moonlit_star]

[While she cannot deny neglect...]

What did I do that was cruel? How did I ever imprison you when you went to school outside the palace walls? What did I ever say to belittle you? [She knows that making Small Lady give details will do very little in putting cracks in Wiseman's spell. His spell is complete and she cannot change how the spell is broken. Everything Small Lady says turns her stomach into knots. Nauseous and on the verge of tears, she knows she must listen to this.]

Please, tell me. If I have truly hurt you, this I must hear.
