Author's Notes: This isn’t very long. Also very old. One of his early motivations for doing what he does, though there’s more to him than just this.

“Some things, darling… Some things you never understand ‘til you’re in their shoes. Hoshi, you’re a faithful little feline, but you won’t understand it. I didn’t understand it until it happened to me.” “…” “When I left the Aethel, the magic I had left went out. It was like I died, the flame in me just sort of… went out. Comin’ home, well, it was like being reborn. I surrendered myself to Kharos not because Prius wanted to me, but because I wanted to come home. I wanted my life back, and you wouldn’t get that.” “Hoshi, the taste of destruction… Feels so good. I’ve made this place a desolate, burned, ash-filled wasteland.” “And I love it. Take a moment, and just listen.” “…” “You can’t hear anything at all but the wind. But if you listen, listen really hard, you’ll hear the winds. All of them. There’s a song there, a requiem. And Lusmos will be here soon, and in his path of creation he’ll destroy everything I’ve built. His aubade always drowns out my requiem. So I’ll move on, and I’ll destroy something else.”

“Terrance… You do it only to hear that song?”

“It’s one of the main perks, but not the only one. The requiem of destruction is just the winds singing. It heralds me. Destruction will give room for life and light, so we deal in death and darkness. As we must. Come now, Hoshi Akari. There is far left yet to clear out.”
