ANIYAH GOODWILL
“Oh, me? H-Hey!"
“I'm the girl they call ”Aniyah Goodwill."
“I-I know, there isn't much to me. I'm not very unique, I pick a variably bland fashion style, I… Also only ever wear makeup when in public settings.”
“That… Shouldn't matter. We all know this.”
“Despite this, I know a man who actually likes me without that all over my face… His name is ‘Jasper Duskfiel’. He's one of the most mature beings I've met on Earth. He's been a childhood friend… And now he's a lot more to me than just a ‘boyfriend.’"
"He showed up one day mysteriously by The Tree of Nymbrael. He spooked the hell out of me, I didn't even see him there. Yet… He was just… Standing, praying, sitting near her roots."
"The weird thing was, he spoke like an adult, although he was a child.”
“We became friends that very day.”
“Ever since then I've… Been infatuated with him. Romantically in love. I can't get his face out of my head. He's so damned hospitable, so genuine, so authentic. He's never been angry at me, even when I make a mistake, he just… Smiles warmly. He never bats an eye.”
“Ugh… I'm getting ahead of myself.”
“Look, I…”
“Ever since my graduation from college, he's shown up more and more in my life, rapidly increasing.”
“He always told me to keep my faith high, to equip the armor of God, to maintain the goodwill that my bloodline has held for time too long to name. The warrior blood that he named ‘Mantra’… It carried tone I had never felt in my life.”
“Maybe, just maybe… He and I will be rulers like my father Edwill. One day…”
“I've studied this deeply, and well, not to uproot the pride in most but… I actually fit the description of Reality's Queen, and non-proclaimed myself.”
“I just… Heard the Lord say one day that I am ‘To be what has never been.’”
“I never understood Jesus, but… He's always been at my side. Always rooting for me, always so quick to answer me.”
“I truly wonder why? Is it because I'm so devoted? That's what humanity should be doing, not idling around!”
“I… I mourn for those who have not what they need.”
“I weep every day for those who live unlavish lives, who are outcast, shriveled into a corner like dead weeds.”
“Even the most invasive deserve a chance at growing flowers.”
“Yet… Even stranger,”
“Jasper, as mysterious as he is, always tells me everything going on in his world. He never stops, but I love him so dearly…”
“Which, excites me. Nobody else knows what he's been saying, it's just… Between us. He's apparently existed from the day that Earth was created, and, well…”
“He was always a man, prime in age, but to co-align with the rules of the lands, he had to de-age himself. Similar to what Mary had to go through with The Father.
"It was done with his ‘god powers’ so that it would be right… I've never met a man claim something and not need to prove it a day in his life… He's… Beyond my understanding."
“I never believed him until I saw him truly show up at Nymbrael that autumn morning, when the trees were still green. One day, though, I got a glimpse at what he mentioned. That is, one day he cornered my sister in my manor's hallway.”
“An ooze so vast and dark seeped from his eyes that I couldn't see it. It was vantablack, an essence far too dark to reflect any light, far too visceral to see the extent of. Staring at it made my eyes slowly burn, it was like photonegative light ripping the tendons of your eye's chords.”
“As if you couldn't witness just how viscerally righteous he was…”
“I knew the man he was, and I couldn't stop kissing him that night.”
“I'm… Getting ahead of myself, haha…”
“Anyways, Annabelle eventually calmed herself down, and, well… Jasper and I have been hanging out far too much since.”
“Now that my father swore me into Realitaria Inc… I can finally do my job right.”
“I can be Queen of Reality.”
“But, I guess… I guess I need to truly use my theological knowledge to more than my own advantage.”
“We're all going to see how this goes. And I'll trust Jasper every step of the way.”
“We both swore an oath, and we will both keep them, no matter how far we stray.”
“… For our people.”
“For The True Reality.”
LADY DIVINITY
“WHAT WAS IS NO LONGER…”
“REGARDLESS, I HAVE NEWFOUND HOPE IN BARTHOLOMEW'S REDEMPTION.”
“I HAVE A SON… SOMETHING I HAVE DESIRED FOR YEARS.”
“ALTHOUGH BEEFCAKE IS TROUBLED, ALL TROLLS ARE.”
“EVEN I, DESPITE MY LOVING HEART, STRUGGLE TO ACCEPT EVEN HIM."
“HIS SPIRITUAL FORNICATION GRIEVES ME… HOWEVER, I SUPPORT MY HUSBAND.”
“I, LADY DIVINITY CLOWNINGTON, WILL HONOR MY HUSBAND'S COMPASS.”
“SLOWLY… HE HAS BEEN REALIZING LOVE IS WORTHY TO BE IN HIS HANDS.”
“AND GOD BLESSED HIM WITH ME FOR THAT REASON…”
“I WILL FULLFILL MY DUTY AS HIS WIFE. WE SHALL BE ONE.”
“… MINUS ‘BECOMING GOD.’”
“THAT IS FOR THE LORD ALONE.”
“On second thought, I would like to drown myself in regret...”
“That concept forever haunts me, and I deeply wish it never happened.”
ANTHORIA VIRELLE
“Sure, I'm Hot.”
“But I do a lot of dishonorable things.”
“You sure you like me…?”
“You were exiled too…?”
“I have to admit, Jasper's pretty hot.”
“I see why Aniyah chose him…”
“One second he's erasing beings from existence.”
“The next, he's coddling her with flowers.”
“So, you're ‘Beefcake’?”
“I feel like Eve, you must be Adam.”
“Although I'll warn you I don't need a man.”
“I have myself, and I can take things like you.”
“Nice attempts at love, but I'm good.”
“Saving myself for someone much worthier.”
“… Like Jasper, when we meet.”
“I hope he hates me, it'll make my heart pop.”
“I want him to behead me… It's…”
“A weird, masochist fantasy of mine…”
“What? You wanted to do that?”
“Well you can go do that to yourself.”
“I have my eyes on the prize…”
“And he might not agree, which makes him even hotter.”
“After what Aniyah told me… I…”
“Have been thinking about 'Jesus.”
“But I'll only accept him if Jasper intervenes.”
“His turn, not hers. I hate women. So, He's next.”
(Anthoria left with a couple knives, blood cracking off the edges. She smiled. Beefcake looked horrifically depressed.)
