The cloak of his lies spread over her, and she did give herself to him to be taken away. He had possessed her… He had his victory, and soon he would build his empire over her name. He would continue to distance her from those who cared for her, till there was only him.
She could feel it happening though, and began to question. What was he doing to her? Why were so many afraid of him? And his lies were slowly revealed. One by one they slipped into her vision. They were many and terrifyingly confusing. "Run!" she whispered to herself…
Run she did head long into Truth. Scared, and ashamed of what she had done and the people she had hurt. "How could I be so foolish?" She asked.
"You saw only what you wanted to see. The lie was comforting was it not?" Truth replied. "But your eyes are open now. It's up to you to keep them that way, and save yourself."
Truth leaned in, and she closed her eyes, as she felt the kiss. She opened her eyes not to see Truth before her, but the Paladin, looking into her eyes and smiling at her. "I'm still here for you, I'm still waiting. You are not alone." He gently whispered. "Forgive yourself, all is not lost. You can still be the light."
And for the briefest of moments, she could feel what real Love was like...
