Dear Sister

Summary:

“The first to betray me was a God, my creator... My mother”

Work Text:

Dear Sister,

I've lost you. It's all my fault. I should've been faster. Should've been there earlier, and yet... I was still too late.

I'm sorry, Makoto.

First it was Sasayuri, then Chiyo, Saiguu came next, and finally, you, Makoto. I think it's getting to me next, erosion I mean. Perhaps, eternity really is what I should pursue. Maybe then, the people of Inazuma won't lose another guardian to the cruelty of time and battle.

I have cut off my connection to Celestia through detaching myself from my Gnosis. I know that it's equivalent to giving up the seat we fought so hard for, but I can't stand having something that reminds me of all that we did for that moral-forsaken island and it's inhabitants.

In my pursuit of eternity, I tried my craft at making a puppet.

I failed the first time I tried. I entered his Plane of Euthymia and found him crying. I concluded then and there that he was unfit to be the vessel of the Electro Gnosis. Miko suggested I destroy “it”, but I refused. I created him, gave him life, yet I do not wish to take it away from him.

Do I pity him? I don't know. I just feel that he doesn't deserve to be unmade when he didn't do anything wrong in the first place.

I left him to wander around Inazuma. I freed him, a puppet, from his creator, me. He will see this as an act of cruelty when he looks back. That's alright, I only chose to do what I think is right.

After him, I created another puppet. This time, I made her truly in my image. This time, I ingrained my goal of reaching eternity in her. I made sure that she was more than suitable to be the vessel of the Electro Gnosis. However, a Gnosis wasn't meant to be stored in a puppet. It was evident enough in the way the Raiden Shogun nearly broke down when I tried to store it.

So, again, I did what I thought was best. I gave the Gnosis to Miko to keep and locked myself in my Plane of Euthymia using the Raiden Shogun as my vessel.

It's been quite a while since I last exited this realm. Currently, I have no idea of what is happening in Inazuma. I've left the Raiden Shogun in charge while I'm in here.

If there is one thing you must know sister, it's that my pursuit of eternity will last as long as I remain the God of Eternity, the Electro Archon, Beelzebul.

Till we meet again,

Ei
