Description

The dark corridors of the Imperial Palace are as quiet as a crypt as the royal guards finish their hourly patrol of the area. Few moments afterwards, a door opens and out steps an elderly Surisin equiped with mechanical legs. Doing his best, the old Surisin sneaks through the hallways towards the exit... Until he suddenly realises he's not alone.

The elderly Surisin: "Who's there? I might be old but my senses still work fine!"

There is a moment of silence, before a loud laughter emits from the shadows.

???: "You should consider oiling those legs of yours every now and then, unless you want every single person in this palace to hear your sorry attempt at sneaking."

Before the elderly Surisin now stands an another Surisin, a mischievous smirk on their face. The mysterious Surisin walks around the older Surisin before disappearing out of view, into the shadows again.

???: "Your... I mean, "our" people have developed the technology to replace our lost limbs ages ago, so I don't see why you insist on using that old rusty mech to get around. Is it something sentimental? Or do you just fear using genetic manipulation on yourself? Don't worry, getting new limbs doesn't affect the brains in a harmful way, unlike changing one's appearance completely on a whim."

The elderly Surisin: "Don't you dare mock my grandchildren, fiend!"

The other Surisin then reappears from the darkness, laughing loudly.

???: "I apologize, I didn't mean to offend... That much. But really, I can see the appeal in changing one's body. Just a shame those poor kids can't do it as easily as I can."

As the other Surisin says this, they suddenly shapeshift into a Werusin, then to a Flysurin, before settling with the form of a female Surisin the elderly Surisin recognizes, greatly angering him.

???: "Do you know how hard it was to stay in a singular form when I was raising you? So hard, and soooo very boring. I don't mean I didn't like the form I picked but..."

The elderly Surisin: "I will not stand listening your priggish speeches if you look like that!"

???: "What, did I hit a nerve again? Sorry, I thought you'd like looking at your dead wife. Then how about I..."

The elderly Surisin: "Just... Look like what you will, but spare me this circus act and tell me why you're here!"

The shapeshifting Surisin then changes back to the first form they were in, before stopping their parading around the older Surisin.

???: "I am here to tell you that the time of your "glorious mission" to save your family from its own mistakes is nigh. The Master has been keeping an eye on you, just as planned. He knows of your "pain" and will make his move to get you into his Legion very soon. So, I suggest you go say your "goodbyes" and "farewells" while you still can... And I don't mean that literally - your children or anyone else in this galaxy can't know what you're planning."

The elderly Surisin: "There's no need for goodbyes... You know damn well my children don't need anything from me... For now. But I will save them, make things right - and no cost is too great if the happiness of my family is on the line!"

???: "Are you certain? There really is no coming back from this. Once you "disappear", you'll spend the rest of your days working to bring about our plan."

The elderly Surisin: "I am certain. And also, who are you to speak of "goodbyes"?! You never said goodbye to me the day you supposedly died!"

???: "Oh please, you knew well that I wasn't dead. After all, you are the only person in this universe to know my true identity."

The elderly Surisin: "Speaking of which, I've wondered: did you tell any of your "children" who you really were? Or only me?"

???: "Not in this cycle. It wasn't necessary until recently, in order to "spice things up" as to keep that rebellious little Nah'Neer from delaying the coming of the Big Picture any further..."

The two Surisins then freeze when they hear footsteps approaching.

???: "We'll talk more later. I'll be seeing you, Lavus."
