BURROWED in<strong>to</strong> my gray matter, and I needed her OUT <strong>of</strong> my MIND. OUT!<br />

OUT, hag!"<br />

"She was a MYTH, a FAIRY TALE who alone CHALLENGED the LADY OF<br />

PAIN! How can one FIGHT someone who is a MYTH? I <strong>do</strong>n't have the<br />

WEAPONS. I need weapons that will KILL her should she FIND ME. I need<br />

a STRATEGY so she can<strong>not</strong> defeat me when she COMES FOR ME. I must<br />

DEVISE, and THINK - I shall BEAT her."<br />

"Fear NAMES. NAMES have power in identity. NAMES can <strong>be</strong> used as<br />

WEAPONS by OTHERS. They are a HOOK that can <strong>be</strong> used <strong>to</strong> TRACK YOU<br />

FIND YOU HUNT YOU across the Planes. Remain NAMELESS, and you shall<br />

<strong>be</strong> SAFE."<br />

"I went <strong>to</strong> the Festhall, looking for the path <strong>of</strong> my FALSE SELF in its<br />

halls. So GLARING was it, that those I did <strong>not</strong> KNOW, the FALSE ones,<br />

WELCOMED me in<strong>to</strong> their confidence, treated me as a FRIEND,<br />

showed me MY ROOM, attended <strong>to</strong> my NEEDS. I had <strong>to</strong> restrain myself<br />

from launching out against them. That would have <strong>be</strong>en premature.<br />

First, I needed <strong>to</strong> PROTECT my IDENTITY. I found one who knew the<br />

exclusive language <strong>of</strong> the Uyo, learned it as I could, then KILLED him.<br />

Then I went <strong>to</strong> the sensorium and prepared <strong>to</strong> END the matter. Soon,<br />

soon..."<br />

"There is NOTHING he can <strong>do</strong>. Memories are GONE, he says, NEVER <strong>to</strong><br />

return. He says/lies and tells me this is what he <strong>to</strong>ld me! LIES! He says<br />

my mind is WEAKENING from every <strong>death</strong>! LIES! He sat there,<br />

BETRAYING my CONFIDENCE with every turn.<br />

He says that only after THREE MORE DEATHS, THREE MORE LIVES will<br />

I gain the <strong>be</strong>nefit <strong>of</strong> keeping my memories, but that I, MYSELF, I will<br />

DIE when I die. DIE! How can one <strong>be</strong> immortal and still DIE?! He could<br />

<strong>not</strong> answer, so he was <strong>of</strong> NO USE. I BUTCHERED him so that no other<br />

incarnation will ever <strong>be</strong>nefit from his USELESSNESS."<br />
