There were two of her.
"S-s-ser Drass! Don't l-l-listen to her! She's a de-demon!" one of them said.
"My love," said the other, "would I ever call you Ser Drass? How can you listen to her, you love me!"
He was so confused. Who was she? What was he supposed to be doing? Where were their children?
"P-p-please!" the new Miranne cried. The old Miranne? "Sh-she-she's got you enthralled! I-I-I love you! Please wake up!"
"How did you get here?" he accused her. "You shouldn't be here!"
"I o-o-overdosed on Lyrium p-potions!" she said, desperation in her voice. "It was the o-only way to get to y-you!"
"P-please!"
"Oh, nonsense," the other Miranne said. "You love me. Don't let this demon fool you! You've been free of the tower for years! We have children, are you going to abandon the children?"
"Miranne stutters," he told her, understanding dawning. "She has always stuttered."
The other Miranne bristled. "I make you happy! I am perfect! I'm the perfect lover, the perfect wife, the perfect mother! I gave you what you wanted, the perfect woman and family!"
"It's the imperfections of life that make it most worth living," he told her. "Her stutter is beautiful. It's part of her. It's adorable and is one of the many things I love about her."
The other Miranne whirled and spun, turning into a desire demon. "You will not escape me! Just as those who thought to rescue you turned and left you with me, so will you come back under my thrall and stay here!" She blasted Miranne and knocked her to the ground.
Then she turned on Andrew.
He slashed at her, hating her with his whole heart. "S-stop!" the demon cried, trying to trick him. "S-ser Drass, it's me! P-p-please!"
"I'll not be fooled again," he roared at her, and slammed the shield into her, staggering and driving her back. "You can't trick me this time, monster!"
He fought her with every ounce of his strength, even when she split apart, mirroring herself, he still fought.
Finally, she fell before his onslaught, and he ran to Miranne, helping her to her feet. "Are you okay?"
"Y-yes," she said. "I-I-I'm so glad you didn't f-fall for her tricks."
"Let's get out of here," he told her.
