Goldenheart wakes up in a quaint little cottage. The room is rather simple. There is a bed stand next to where she lay, with a glass half full of water and a bottle of pills that has been opened. A window dons the leftmost wall, showing the scene of only trees that Goldenheart has known since waking up in this strange dreamscape. The walls are a dull grey and the paint is chipped in some places. There are no other garnishments to this room, it is very simple. Goldenheart is laying on a bed, covered in a simple white bed spread. The bed is quite small, only able to contain herself. Goldenheart sits up and beings to rise, but then the door open, revealing...Levi.

GH: "L-levi?"

Levi walks into the room, carrying a tray with breakfast on it. The meal seems very plain, only a piece of toast and one egg, fried over easy. He carries a glass of orange juice with this. He sets this in front of Goldenheart and nods a greeting. "Hello, Goldenheart. It has been a long time."

GH: "No it hasn't, I just saw you not that long ago. When...when we left each other."

Levi looks confused. "Huh, interesting. That fight happen years ago. You left me...and here you are again. Like a dirty rat that the cat dragged in."

Levi's words drip with acid and Goldenheart flinches. Levi backs away from the bed and stares at Goldenheart. "Why did you come back, Goldie? I thought my wounds had healed and then I saw you again and they were slashed back open. Why?"

GH: "I-I'm sorry, I didn't-."

Levi: "I came all the way out here to Eden to hide from the world. The only soul here to keep me company is the screaming Dazzling Light. She barely knows I'm here. When she comes knocking, all I have to do is hide and play dead and she leaves. Very simple and peaceful life...the one I want...alone...Isn't that what you wanted Goldenheart?"

GH: "Wh-what?"

Levi snarls. "You know why your mother is out there, without any knowledge of her past life? Because she made the wrong choices. Instead of a life of love and pain, she went to heaven with Thunder Wing and became her right hand. She was sent here...alone. She was driven mad by it."

GH: "Where is here?"

Levi: "Eden...a pocket dimension in a sense. I was able to find it using a spell that I was taught by a wandering mage. Simple. This forest holds all the Trees of Knowledge. Buried in the center of the forest is The Library of Answers...I have yet to find it on expeditions, but I feel like I'm close. My topography is hopefully correct."

Goldenheart looks confused. "I don't understand."

Levi: "CHOICES, GOLDENHEART! Don't you see!? Are you so blind and stupid that you cannot see what is right in front of your face!? PATHETIC!"

Goldenheart reels back at the sudden outburst. "Wh-what?"

Levi points a hoof accusingly at Goldenheart. "Let me finish, worm! That was always your problem! You always interupted those before they could make their say! What you see are choices! Choices that were wrong and what they have done! This reality is one of failed choices and broken promises! It is the reality that will become your own, sans the screaming mother. Hopefully."

<p style="font-weight:400;">GH: "But..."

<p style="font-weight:400;">Levi: "The choices you have made were selfish and foolish! You let you your own needs and desires fall into the sway of that damned zebra! You think you are strong, but you are weak! VERY WEAK! You are deluded and a fool! You could know every spell in the world, but you will never be able to be intelligent enough to make the right choices! You are a failure!"

<p style="font-weight:400;">GH: "I-I'm not...a failure."

<p style="font-weight:400;">Levi: "You lie to yourself, then. You are duller than I remember then. I'm glad that you left me, Goldenheart. Because everything you touch becomes toxic. Everything you touch you ruin. Corrupt with your poison. No matter what you tell yourself you are not a good person. And you will never be. NEVER!"

<p style="font-weight:400;">Levi slams the tray down on the side table. "Good day to you Goldenheart. Maybe some day you'll see the error of your ways. I doubt it though. I highly doubt it."

<p style="font-weight:400;">He walks out of the room, slamming the door behind him. Goldenheart lays in the bed....sniffling. Levi's word cut deep...very deep. She stifles a sob and stares at the ceiling blankly...Then, a voice whispers to her. "Time to wake up, Goldenheart. Wake up and smell the ashes."

<p style="font-weight:400;">Goldenheart's eyes snap open on the mountain and the dream ends...
