Is she older or younger than you? If you have such distinctions, that is.

[shadowtruths]

There is, yes. Destiny came into being first, followed by Death. I came after the both of them. Once the first creature in the galaxy dreamed, so was I then there for them.

Life however began and ended long before that first happened. And my sister was there for them. As she will be until the last living thing ceases to exist.

[sisterimperator]

That makes sense, even by the teachings of our Clergy. One's destiny comes first, even before one is conceived, and upon conception, one is immediately destined for death. Such is the way of things.

And then we dream.

I look forward to meeting her.

[shadowtruths]

She is by far the most agreeable of my siblings to meet. Though much of humanity seems to feel otherwise.

I would not figure you to be one who feared death, though.

[sisterimperator]

I think it is not her they fear, but the unknown. The idea of change. The idea that what good they have now will be lost. The question, "What if what lies beyond death is worse? Or what if there's nothing?" Additionally, the knowledge that some deaths come with excruciating pain. There is also losing their loved ones.

I indeed do not fear death. Why would I, when I know where I will go next?

[shadowtruths]

I would agree with you, although she understandably often becomes the focal point for such fears. Whereas in dreams people can enjoy entertaining what if's, in control of which they try in the waking world, what comes beyond death is often a mystery many find out of their hands.

I do admire your conviction, Sister.

I don't like it when I'm not in control, yes. But thankfully there is one entity that I would accede control to, and that is my boss. And thankfully yet again, he's in charge of where I go in the afterlife.

Someone told me that I was "psychopathically" devoted to my job. I consider that a compliment.
