Without a doubt, I must be the luckiest person on Lunar. To be granted a reprieve from death and begin anew. I admit the only reason I was resurrected was to serve Zophar's dark purposes, but what would he have done to me when he received his absolute, omnipotent power? I'd most likely be a pawn is some demented scheme, or he'd take this life away and send me back to hell.
It was all an act. I thought this was the perfect time to right the wrongs I committed in the past and help to save Lunar rather than destroy it.
Trying to take control of Althena… what the hell was I thinking? Now that I look back on it, it really was impossible. I guess a man will do anything for the woman he loves most in the world, even if he's already lost her to another man. And I lost her twice! To Dyne and then to Alex. She slipped through my grasp.
I should have stopped my estranged quest when she wandered into the garden where I was playing my lute. Although I don't think I realized it was really her, not until Quark told me it was. That confirmed my suspicions. But I was blinded by my lust for power. I lost myself when I became the Magic Emperor. I let the evil in me take control.
I really do hope she had a happy life with Alex. They loved each other so much, and that love prevailed in the end. I wish I could have experienced love. Not insane jealousy, but real love. It's no longer possible. I have betrayed Zophar. My life will end soon.
Watching the so-called "Althena" reminded me of my past, how I wanted everything for myself. In life you're given so much, it's impossible to gain everything you want… for that causes the conflict and bloodshed of war.
I still can't forgive myself for being the cause of one either. I wonder how many innocent lives were lost…one is one too many. This reprieve has brought back all the guilt from my past. I've wanted to repent for my sins ever since this life was granted. Now I have helped Hiro, helped him to save this world from Zophar. I hope it's enough.
I miss my friends. I wonder if they've forgiven me for betraying them. I hope so. I underestimated the power of the human spirit, and for that I was defeated. I know not to make that same mistake again.
"Are you watching in secret, Dyne? These children shine with your light."
This will be the last time I gaze upon this land. Even though it's devoid of life because of Zophar's destructive magic, it's still home. Zophar must not return to power. If he does, all is lost. This world will no longer be a happy and peaceful world, but one of war and bloodshed. It may even end up like the Blue Star. And this time Althena will not be here to save the innocent people from annihilation.
No…I must not think negative thoughts now. I must believe in the power of the Human Spirit I once fought against. I know Hiro and the others will stop him… it's just a matter of time.
How long have you waited Dyne? Finally I have come to my senses. I should have realized it earlier. Luna, did you know I would be given a second chance? You knew about Hiro… perhaps you did know. I'm happy to have been granted this life. To set everything straight. Finally I have been granted peace. Eternal peace with all my close friends.
"Fight hard Hiro, believe in your friends. The final test lies before you."
