"I don't want the scroll anywhere near any of you." Golden eyes encompassed all of them. "Whatever is in it hasn't finished yet. Get it away forever, leave it lost."
Tyrsis looked down for a moment, not wanting to look at any of them as she tried to find the words for what she waned to say. Would Damuthca hate her again? Would Emillia?
"Would you be upset if I told you this is the way it has to be?" She smiled very gently, dark curls brushing against her cheeks a she looked up again. "Had Cyrus read the scroll, he would be dead. Had you, Emi..."
Words trailed away, leaving imagination to its task. Emillia was a very powerful girl, even if she did not yet realize her potential. A slender finger reached up to brush away a curl.
"Zenra is Queen, had she read it we would lose more than any nation can afford. You as well, my Damuthca. You are High Sword of the Dragon and more important to Escalvone than even Zenra." A sigh escaped parted lips, her voice betraying her fatigue. "We do what we must.
"Curiousity was our curse, don't let it continue to be. Let the scroll remain hidden, as it was supposed to be. Kenji brought it into the light, willing or not, and once it had been brought forward it was destined to be read. Forgotten minds would never let it be. We have been hurt too often, even if we no longer remember the pain."
Tired golden eyes did not waver in their gaze, though her voice was tired and worn. She still rested in Damuthca's lap, his hand in hers pulsing with a faint red glow. "I did what I felt I must, and did so knowing that it might take my life. Garric was strong enough to protect me, to wake me, but if he was fast enough is something I am not entirely sure of. We've made our choices, each of us." She looked at Damuthca directly, emotion flickering in her eyes for only half a second before contact was broken and she turned to encompass Emillia again. "All that remains is seeing how much these choices will cost us."
