Summary: Yune, early Part IV; she is selfish, but perhaps that is for the best.
Notes: Sorry it's late, but yesterday was a travel day.
Love From Above
They were all just so interesting. They fought, they cried, they laughed, they killed, they saved—in short, they lived. Beorc and Laguz alike, they were constantly in motion, changing and evolving to be something different than they were the day before. They just didn't stop, and she loved that about them.
Let Ashera wish that they would hold still and be what they wanted to be; she wanted to see them work towards what they wanted to be without ever reaching it. It was one of the fundamental differences between the two of them, Yune knew, and it was part of what would have eventually ripped them apart even if she hadn't lost her temper and drowned the other continents.
No matter what Beorc and Laguz did these days, she couldn't help but love them. Provided they stopped trying to kill each other, there was no reason she shouldn't love them. But if they ever stopped changing, she wouldn't love them. And that was why she had to stop Ashera. Ashera wanted to remake the world into a place that never changed, a sterile land that had no creation or imagination or spontaneity. And Yune just couldn't let that happen. It would be boring, and the beings that lived there would come to hate such an unchanging place. At least, the beings with life and sass would hate it.
For them, Yune would stop Ashera from remaking the world. For them, Yune would keep the world alive and vibrant and evolving. But for the beings that couldn't and didn't change, she would try and let Ashera have some control over the world, so that they could have their consistency. For without the beings that didn't change, there would be no beings that did change. And that was unthinkable.
