Author's Notes: Well, I found Bebedora a very interesting character. Her mixed-up way of saying things always confusing others may they be human or Deimos. Thus, I decided to write this Bebedora-centric fanfic. Enjoy!
The dark blue color. Sadness?
Red hues varying to shades of pink. Jealousy?
Anxiety? A mix of orange and yellow.
Sky blue and white. Happiness?
Pain? A crimson red tint fills the mind.
Why do humans and Deimos alike feel these? These feelings.
I see a bright light shining, blinding. I do not understand what this color is showing me.
Is this blue-gray color what they call sadness? Sadness happens when someone loses something or someone. When they are betrayed and decides that they can't trust anyone. The dull blue-gray color fills the person who is in doubt. Is this really sadness? Why do people feel sad? Why is sadness there?
Another color, another shade of blue. This is happiness? When others feel good about themselves of others is happiness. When something good comes to their life. When they go for this thing that the call dreams and reach it, is that happiness? This color confuses me. I do not understand when they feel happy.
Confusion comes along. Pastel yellow is confusion. Is it when people do not understand when they are called confused? If someone is lost and cannot find the way around, is this confusion? Why can't I understand this emotion? Why do others understand and I don't?
Ah, jealousy. Hee, hee, hee. This is a nice emotion to play with. Humans feel this much more than the Deimos. Deimos will not be jealous. Instead, they will be filled with dark red hues of anger, trying to get what they want. Not many Deimos feel jealous of others. An unlikely feeling for the Deimos. Most of the Deimos are in pain.
Pain causes anger. Pain is… I do not know what pain is. I have not felt pain. The closest is anxiety.
The darkness brings anxiety. Fear. Yellow to brown color which shows anxiety. When one is lost and could not be found. If a person is worried about something or anything that has much value. Is this anxiety? Another human feeling.
Humans are so easy to read. They are like books. Thin books that is summarized in the span of minutes. But there are many humans that are much too complex to understand immediately. They are interesting.
Deimos are much easier to read than humans though. They have less emotions. Some have none. Nil.
Monsters are like Deimos. No feelings. They are dumb creatures. They cannot even speak.
But what am I then? What is Bebedora?
I am the Puppeteer.
What is this puppeteer? A person who makes dolls move with the use of strings, you say?
Bebedora is not always a puppeteer. Others you to say I was not a puppeteer but a doll, a marionette. Is that what Bebedora is? A marionette?
A marionette without strings?
A marionette sent out to destroy the world?
I'm not human. I'm not Deimos. I'm not a monster. I'm not a puppeteer. I'm not a marionette. I'm not the destroyer of the world.
I am Bebedora.
