second voice test; mun read speaker for the dead

[wiggin]

Mun, you shouldn't be surprised at hate the Hundred Worlds have towards me. A title such as 'Ender the Xenocide' is expected after that much time. The humans won't forgive me that easily.

[he says it with an air of finality to it. Even so, he knew that he was forgiven by the new Hive Queen. Even with that knowledge, Ender knew that he couldn't forgive himself that easily either.]

I'm relieved to know I got the job done, though. I gave the Hive Queen a chance to prosper again. I just hope that they are accepted.

Taking control of the name history gives for you is a difficult process.

[wiggin]

If you deserved it, would you try to change it?

whoops, wrong Dune account

[teenagebeefswelling]

I don't intend to. In my case, they will call me shaitan after my reign has ended.

it's ok u v u

[wiggin]

[he wonders whether or not to ask what 'shaitan' means to this stranger. It was probably something good, considering what this man said.

Ender nodded, and decided to go for another question]

So you're a king?

[teenagebeefswelling]

[Not at all, Ender. It's Fremen for Satan!]

An emperor. Soon to be The God-Emperor.

[wiggin]

[well, that changes everything.]

So you're just another Napoleon...an Alexander the Great.

[just like his brother, Peter.]

They both fell though, due to their excessive pride. How come you will be known as shaitan, instead of emperor?

[teenagebeefswelling]

I am the final one in that line. I will be the last, greatest tyrant. And I will be shaitan because i'm hated.

[wiggin]

You seem as if you're proud of the title.

[a pause]

Why?

[teenagebeefswelling]

I admit to some pride in the plan itself. But i'm not doing it for pride.

[wiggin]

Then why are you doing it?

[teenagebeefswelling]

To teach them a lesson about seeking security from a charismatic tyrant. Why did you become the Xenocide?

[wiggin]

[ender nods] Unfortunately, we learn best from experience.

...I killed an entire alien race in a war that I didn't know I was in. Not that it's any excuse.

sob forgive the thrown together journal <3

[propitiative]

They will forgive you. It will all come in time.

omgggg!!!! it's ok!! /) v (\ i'm glad to see a valentine

[wiggin]

Isn't three thousand years long enough?

haha forgive me for this horribly rusty and likely ooc muse

[propitiative]

I suppose it does seem like quite a while, but hearts are more difficult to change than minds. It takes them time. More time.

aww no, i'm sure you'll do fine!! i hope i'm not too bad

[wiggin]

[of course, Ender understood that. Xenocide wasn't something that people should be forgiven for, and he knew that very well.]

The first xenocide is something that shouldn't be forgotten or forgiven. That way, they know not to do it again.

[he pauses for a second and shrugs. Maybe 3000 years later, he could be closer to forgiving himself, but he was only 12 and the memory was still too fresh.]

And if they were to stop blaming me, then who would they blame?
