They disappear inside. A robed man approaches Emilia.
"I see you looking at that inn. You can stay there for free, if you are weary."

She turns to him.

"What do people do for fun around here?"

"This is a place of refuge, not entertainment."

"There are a lot of brave people then."

"They accept that the storm will be neutralised by the light. They gather so that they are in the safest place. Trust me, the worst place to be is in the storms path if you are not in this city. It will bend reality into it's own world, where the demon Kasdeya is god."

"There are a lot of people who aren't inside the city at all. How can we help them?"

"They are not of our concern. Those who wish to be saved make the journey to Sun Mountain, those who don't suffer whatever fate awaits them under the storm."

"Why are they not of your concern? Have you felt him grip your mind and twist it in the deepest and darkest corner that you wish that you never have ever seen, crushing your own views and values to kill for all that is evil?"

She falls to her knees.

"I have been here before in a different mind. I have fought him. I don't want anyone else to feel what that is like. And it is not of your concern? People don't know what he is truly like until you yourself has fought off the evil."

"The light conquers all. When you came last time, you spoke with our leader, and he set in you the seeds for purity. He saved your life with ease. Kasdeya will be destroyed."

"You have no RIGHT to speak. You know NOTHING. YOU ARE BLIND TO THE ACTUAL TRUTH. YOUR IGNORANCE IS GOING TO KILL EVERYONE. HOW DARE YOU!"

Emilia screams a high pitch scream at the top of her lungs.

A few people stop to watch her.
"Child, you are talking about something you don't understand. He is no match for the light and our leader."

"HAVE YOU SEEN HIM IN YOUR MIND? HAVE YOU KILLED OUT OF EVIL?"

She screams again.

Quite a crowd has gathered now.
"Of course not child. The light conquers all."

"SAVE ALL THAT KNOW NOT OF EVIL."

"There can not be light without shadow, but the light burns the shadow away. Light conquers all."

She takes out her knife and cuts herself up her arm. She concentrates not to heal herself.

"IN THE END, ONCE IT COMES UPON US, YOU AND YOUR "GREAT" LEADER WILL COME TO THE REALISATION THAT YOUR UNPURE HEART HAS RESULTED IN THE DEATH OF EVERYONE!"

"The light is infallible. Kasdeya will be purged from existence."

"KKKKKAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSDDDDDDEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I must ask you to stop your outburst, or I will remove you from the city."

Emilia gets up and runs away. Screaming.

The crowd parts as she runs past. People watch her go, with shocked gasps and sometimes laughs.

She stops running and slows down to a walk.

"You know what Kaz? It would be easier just to be with you doing the **** you do, because, in the end, no one cares. People are willing to live but for the wrong reasons. The people here are so selfish. I guess it is the same as being back at home. Trying to take advantage of my power. "

An old women sits on her front steps and watches Emilia.
"Sane folk don't talk to themselves."

She stops and blood forms a pool at her feet.

"I am sane, thank you very much. How can you let everyone just sit here and not help everyone else? I think THAT is insane."

She heals the cut on arm.

"We have no choice, love. Those who can get to Sun Mountain can live, the others must face the storm. What would you do?"
