"I.. Am supposed to BE. You? AND WHAT OF HER? WHY IS THAT FILTH STILL HERE. HOW IS SHE..."

"You and her are more alike than you think. How curious of you to meet the simulation endpoint, by starting your own in your attempt to divine your future. You can take my power and with that, the answers you seek at the price of being overwritten... or you could come to grips that you are a mere copy, a past life lived with different turns, and sister to a daughter you reviled."

"And if I don't?"

"Then I leave it to chance. A coinflip decides for you. You will be utterly erased as you know yourself and with a heart so heavy that not even the power you gain can lift it. If not you would be reduced to a mere wretch be fore the very daughter you call filth, equal to her yet despised due to your vile outlook upon what will be your kind. A shell of yourself, stripped of any path to godhood and forced to confront a dark and starless universe"

"You... wouldn't... Dare..."

"Another of these simulations having ended. Another daydream as I yearn for a life long gone. Another daughter, or another shock to my system. I only have the age of stars long forgotten to reminisce upon as we continue this vigil to save those from a long dead universe. Whether dreamed up all by me, or recreated in a space beyond time made as refuge for this bleak and long present, I and often those that have stuck around with me toy with slight details as a new generation of my soon to be daughters live out my very life as I knew it. I yearn for the long gone age of stars, I yearn for a then simpler life, and I yearn for the once warm embrace of the cosmos. My memories have become my refuge as we keep fighting for those that wanted to go quietly into the night. We temper what rage we have that can reignite the universe, for we know those left behind would be burnt and erased if we rekindled the universe."

"And so we it is, that we are the light at the end of time. A beacon and a life raft before we start it all anew. I am thankful that through all this time, Artemisia and some of our daughters have stuck with me and have joined me in my new mission." - Terlynn of a post stellar era

Deep future stuff is a DOOZY. Eternity will mess with you if you're not ready.
