ISOPIA
In reality's shadow the blind see best.


[Skipping, cause I need these memories gone, yo.]

If Ophelia's statement was meant to serve as a warning, or possibly a deterrent, it had the opposite effect. If anything, her words reassured Isopia. She did want to have to pay for the consequences of her actions, but retaining her memories weren't doing that ... they were just breaking her, slowly but surely, weighing down every step with no reprieve in sight.

Isopia nodded, before either Roskuld or Zero might say something to try and further dissuade her from this choice. It was the reason that she was here, and now that they had finally arrived, Isopia's mind could see no other option than to take the gift offered by the Aramanthine.

As Ophelia invaded her mind, Isopia tensed dramatically for a moment. Her nostrils flared, and despite the wink of reassurance the pale mare offered, her golden eyes remained large for a moment. Only as Hubris patted her neck slightly, did she relax. Of course, Isopia thought to herself, How else would she see the memories and take them, if not for being in my mind?

Closing her eyes, Isopia focused on the memories that she would have the pale former-queen take. Isopia felt self-conscious and mentally naked in a way that she had never experienced before. In any other situation, she likely would have shut down and evaded this sort of intimacy with another, but the demi-goddess knew that in this instance, there was simply no other option.

If she wanted to be rid of her past, she had to share it with one more soul. Just one more, and then it would be done.

Images of she as a child, meeting Volterra for the first time bloomed in her mind. His name of his dragon ... they had met again, and had help put out the beginnings of a wildfire (her wings against his body as they lay exhausted in the dirt). She thought of their conversations as they both grew (moving into her clearing. Using their magic to create the hot-tub that still stood there). The memories blurred faster now as Isopia concentrated (brief conversations. secret smiles.), trying to diligently ensure she retrieved every ounce of him in her mind, but also to hurry through the process as quickly as possible. Finally she came to the heart of it (they stood on a mountain. Their bodies touched for the first time and then ...) Isopia could feel her cheeks flushed as the memory of their coupling played out in her mind, clear and strong. And then, (pregnancy. joy. meeting Volterra's many children. dispair. Learning he had been with Aithniel as well. The spar with Ashamin. The loss of life. The stillbirth. The burial in her clearing.) and finally, (the two pegasus twins who had disrupted the grave and stolen the bones).

"Take all of it." She mentally pleaded to Ophelia. "I'd not remember that I knew him at all."

If the mare could take her memories, then she would take her love and grief as well. And that would be good.
