>>5637617<span class="mu-s"> To listen. Is that too much to ask? </span>
>>5637618>>5637620>>5637623<span class="mu-s"> I do not meddle with the strings of reality. I can only interpret what they might say. Whether that mark has a rippling weight, I do not know. All I know is that all of you are interlopers in one way or another. </span> Cresselia turns back around to look bewildered at Charles. <span class="mu-s"> What? Yes. We plan to silence them forever and release the life trapped within. Settle the imbalance and bring back harmony. </span>

>>5637629Cresselia is taken off guard against the sudden unintentional hostility. You can tell now it's not her real body as it whispers and waves under the influence of the Shadow Claw. She lets out an unearthly wail before quickly bringing down her wing upon Theodore. In a flash of smoke, stars, and dreams, Theodore has been temporarily turned into an apple. <span class="mu-s"> I brought you here under the pretense of peace! Do not test my patience! </span>

The tolerance and ignorance to think that they are boons is a foolish notion! I've walked between many dreams just to see how frightened some are of dungeons! How can you enjoy yourself while looking over your shoulder at the first hint of being trapped in a repetitive nightmare? </span>
>>5637638Cresselia shakes her head. <span class="mu-s"> I hope this Grimmsnarl does not speak for all of you. </span>
