I8DT - To sleep, perchance to dream

[Nailah Weaver]

"Yet she still gives power to you because there's no distinction anymore. You just are. That doesn't make Altamira someone who perished when you awoke. It makes her part of you just as much as you are part of her."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"She was never meant to be.'

[Nailah Weaver]

"And maybe it's time to figure out what this means now. Things don't always go as planned."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"That was true eighteen years ago. Things are fixed now."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Is that a yes?"

[Altamira Vazquez]

"What do you think you're talking about."

[Nailah Weaver]

"You'll see." she smiles faintly.

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Oh, come off it."

[Nailah Weaver]

"You already know. If you're not going to admit it to yourself I'm certainly not going to tell you, Mira."

[Altamira Vazquez]

The Phoenix glared.

"I was right. You HAVE become a bitch."

[Nailah Weaver]
