An Unheard Prayer

[Milly]

Upon that same hill, after sunset stands a lone woman dressed in black and red. She stares up to the star-studded sky.

Was this your sign? I asked you for a sign and instead of preventing death you send it straight to my doorstep!

There was nothing I could have done to stop him, sans force - and even that probably wouldn't have worked. Is this your idea of some sick, disgusting and cruel joke? To have me there in front of him as he dies?

With Alexander, I had a choice. To call a retreat or to attack Walter and try to save him... I called a retreat then.

With Atlas, I attacked Misha in an attempt to save him and where did that get me?

WITH THE SAME OUTCOME!

If this is your idea of a cruel joke, then stop. For I am no longer willing to play your games or dance to your fiddle.

Just stop - ... Please.
