Epilogue

How did you do that?

It was easy. She wasn't mine anymore: she was herself, so I just let her go.

I'm sure it was not that simple.

Of course it was. You just always make things out to be more complicated than they are. You know, I think next time we do something like this, we should split off pieces of ourselves first. They would be us, but we wouldn't be them – it would make things a lot simpler.

If you think you can do it, then yes, it seems like a good idea.

No, we aren't going to do it that way. I will teach you to make pieces of yourself, and I will give out the sigils. You're not very good with human minds; I think I could understand them better, now that I've been one. A human, I mean.

So, you want to do this again?

Oh, certainly! But I was thinking of some ways we could change the rules, to make it more interesting. That is, assuming you still want to play.

Of course I do. This has been a most edifying experience. So tell me, what do you plan for us to do next?
