Voices #45 - "A simple question makes you look away..."
"Papa... who is the man that shows up in my dreams from time to time with the Black Jewel?"

You've never been able to look at me and answer that question, Saetan. You never have. Every time I mention it, you turn your head away from me, but not before I see the sadness that flares up in your eyes. I know that you know who he is. I know that you're hiding something important from me, but what I don't understand is why.

Or maybe I do.

He has something to do with the accident that robbed me of two years of my life and my memories, doesn't he? He was there or he knows what happened. Does he know who hurt me... is he acting in your name even now to make sure they never harm us again?

Who is he, Papa? Who is he and why does thinking about whom he might be cause you pain and me emptiness? Who is the shadowy figure that I can never catch hold of... no matter how deep into the Abyss I try to go to get the answers?

Answers that I know you have.

Answers that you are not giving me.

Who is he and what shattered pieces of memory does he hold?

And again... you look away from the question... or from me.

Why, High Lord?

What is so devastating that you will not answer that one question?
