[S] Dynasty That Wasn't

He's gone. They both are.
And soon, you will be too.
You aren't okay with a lot of things, but you're surprisingly okay with this. It isn't a bad way to go. As long as the others can go on and survive, you think you did a pretty decent job for an empress that never was.
And it isn't like yours would be the first dynasty that imploded between a clash of the matesprit and kismesis alignments.
... Huh, that's kind of funny. You did feel something more vibrant for that jerk after all... it just wasn't the quadrant he wanted.

You realize Sollux is right, of course. That's one of the reasons why you like him as much as you do. He thinks ahead about things like this.
No matter how much you hate Eridan right now, he's still one of the last pieces of home left, one of your oldest friends, and... you'd never forgive yourself if you killed him for real. Not to mention the others will need him, his strength. If you can't do this for them, what kind of empress would you have made?
... that doesn't mean it hurts any less.
How much he claims to care about you.
How little he actually does.
tA: come on, let'2 go. ii know the way.
Go win this thing.
oh hell yes.
