I'm going to try to get the rest soon. I've been getting distracted too much.
Scene 105
“So,” he said, “You’re the one who has been causing my troops so much trouble.”
“I wish I didn’t have to. Your troops are making a real mess of things.”
“A mess? Why, Mr. Dove, or may I call you David?”
“David is fine.”
“David,” he nodded. “And you may call me Daffyd. Since we are brothers, of a sort, we should be on familiar terms.”
“If you wish.”
He smiled. “David, what you call a mess is temporary. I am remaking all the worlds, refining them, making them better.”
“How is what’s going on making things better?”
“There is so much pain in the world, my brother, all the worlds. I want to take that all away.”
“By destroying everything?”
Another voice came from the shadows, a somewhat familiar voice. “He just doesn’t understand, my Emperor. He is too short-sighted. He thinks too small.”
Daffyd chuckled. “Step out so he can see you Chancellor.”
The man stepped from the shadows until I could see his features. The features were very familiar and I quickly figured out who he was.
“You’re one of the Pleaters,” I said.
The Chancellor smiled. “Indeed, I am Mr. Dove.”
