A Conversation Long Overdue

A short drabble I wrote since I just finished lesson 20. There are references to other headcanons and stories I have floating around in my head, but they're only briefly mentioned.

Well, here it is. The beginning of the end. Dawn of the third day and all that.

One evening, I had trouble falling asleep. Instead, I ran through my mind, trying to figure out if there was anything left undone. One thing stuck out in my mind, and if I screwed it up, I’d be turned into a chew toy. After mulling it over, I decided to at least try it.

Leaving my room, I noticed the lights off and silence throughout the halls. I slowly made my way, trying to keep my footsteps as quiet as possible. Eventually, I reached the stairwell leaving to the lower levels and carefully went down. Even before I reached the bottom, I could hear the heavy breaths and snoring of a large creature. I chided myself internally, of all the ideas, this is what you chose to do? But I pressed on, slowing my pace and making my steps heavier to make my presence known. As I reached the bottom, I was greeted by three heads snarling at me.

Holding my hands up, I spoke softly. “Hi there, Cerberus. May I come in?” Inside, I was dying. This was honestly the stupidest thing I’ve done yet, which is saying something. I tried to remain calm and not appear jumpy, just staying in the entrance. As minutes passed, Cerberus seemed put off, unsure of what to do with me. Another moment passed before I held out my right hand, hoping that a giant three-headed rottweiler is still, in fact, a dog. “I’m only here to have a chat, honest.” a beat passed before the left head started sniffing my outstretched hand. “I’m not gonna touch or take anything. So, can I come in?”

Then, ever so gently, Cerberus took my hand in his mouth and led me into the room, dropping it when I stood in the middle. He moved to stand guard near the wall, monitoring me closely. I took a few tentative steps towards the casket in the center, before sitting down in front of it.

“Hey there, girly- no, great-grandma? Hm, no… I’ll workshop it,” I shook my head, a small laugh escaping me. I sighed, “Lilith. I don’t even know if you’re still here, or if you finally convinced yourself to move on. But right now? I don’t think it matters all that much, right? Even if it is the latter, I’m sure my words will find their way to you sooner or later.” I paused, trying to collect my thoughts. “There’s so much that I can say, a whole years worth. But the biggest thing is: thank you. I know it was never actually confirmed if you had a hand in choosing me. But I like to think the wind that separated my paper from the others was you. Well, I like to think that now. To be completely honest, I initially hated it. Especially when everything about you had first come to light. It felt that, whenever the boys looked at me, they… weren’t looking at me. They were looking at you, trying to find you in everything I did. Well, all but one. At least Satan had my back with those shenanigans. It took some time, and me exploding and running to stay in purgatory hall for a week, but that thankfully subsided. And eventually, I managed to work through my own misgiving from that. And now, I can admit that if not for you, I would never have come here. Not readily, mind you. I’m not starting up that era of bullshit again,” I laughed. “But, I can say thank you. For bringing me here, and for entrusting your brothers to me. And now that I’ve said the most important thing, I’ve got a year of stories to share with you.”
