It has been, yes. It helped me during the attacks. I didn't have to change so quickly.
[And that means a lot to her.]
Anyway. That's who all helped. Jack made the ice, I made the seal, and we did a lot more work to make the seal really strong. It shouldn't break, not easily. And good thing to, if what the ghosts told me is true.
[Athena hopefully would've gotten the colony-wide memo about what was behind the wall...]
[Well, she guesses this is important. Sliding the bracelet out of the way she points to a spot on her wrist.]
I know you can't see this. But they marked me, spiritually. In the tower when I freed them, like I told you. Those same five ghosts sought me out, and they talked to me. They didn't attack me, and they told me about what was on the other side of the wall...which is something worse. And that CERES built on their sacred ground, and things like that.
That we mustn't allow CERES to seal them away again. And I didn't. I just stopped more from coming out. And sealed the hole because...they said something worse is on the other side.
He's more complicated than that. In the past life, when I was just Mars, he was an ally. My counterpart among the guardians of the prince of the Earth.
Remember how I said that people betrayed our kingdom? He was one of the traitors.

Did they say anything else?

You know that there's a junkyard outside the walls? There's some weird things going on there.
no subject
[That's really all she can say.]
But I remember you mentioned the junkyard, actually. After the tours. You said some of the buildings seemed to move and attack you, or try to?
no subject
Maybe that's what they meant?
no subject
The ghosts were afraid...and I don't think they'd have any problems with moving junk. They can possess things.
no subject
... I guess if we really wanted to find out, we'll just have to wait and see. As ominous as that sounds.
no subject
I just wish we were waiting for something positive.

Now, you saw Simon?
no subject
[ frowny face. ]
I did.
no subject
[She's not prying beyond that. The psychic trauma was evident enough the other day.]
Do you want to talk about it?
no subject
no subject
[And she slurps up a bit more ramen.]
As for myself. I...am not even sure why I saw who I saw. Everyone I've talked to saw visions of people important to them.
no subject
Who did you see?
no subject
[But...she did say she'd share a bit.]
He's the first person I ever fought against, as Mars. I...killed him.
no subject
... weird.

And then what?

[A sigh.]
And a friend destroyed the spirit making the image.
