So you live for the cause.

[ As a soldier. ]

I can't say I don't understand it. What about when it's done?

[spiritbalm]

I am the cause.

[ and it's a difficult question to answer. when it's done. ]

Are we assuming that we will be victorious? That's probably a bit optimistic, but, alright. If we win, if the Circles are torn down and mages can live free, then I think I'd want the same as anyone else. To live a normal life.

[ Okay, back up. ]

What do you mean you are the cause? Like... you're fighting for your own liberation?

[spiritbalm]

I mean that I have accepted becoming an Abomination in exchange for the ability to fight for all of us.

[ a half-shrug. ]

Whatever comes next, I don't know that normal is possible for me anymore. I am the Host of the spirit of Justice.

[ Oh. He just thought Justice was a fun nickname that they had given Anders. ]

And that's going to consume you eventually?

[spiritbalm]

[ surprise!!!!!!!! ]

Neither of us are who we used to be. I think perhaps we will only become more as one as time goes on, but I don't know what that means, or what shape it will take. I am not quite human, nor quite Spirit.
