I've been thinking a lot about how this place could be seen as a second chance. I wanted to ask... what would you do with that second chance? I know a lot of people want to find their way home but if you didn't, what then?

Not unlike the Chant of Light, then, though the Maker's teachings are shown to us through his prophet, Andraste. Our actions are to prove our worth to Her, that she might convince the Maker we are worthy of His love.

This? You want this to be what comes after?

Ah, that's a tad fatalistic, isn't it? An almighty divine being wouldn't love all His creations save one. If He isn't there, He isn't there for anyone, not only you.

[littlemisskate]

This isn't what I wanted to come after. I could have never dreamed this up.

Though you are right about one thing. If there is love, then there is love for everyone. Thank you. It's silly, I know, but I think I needed to hear it.

Then perhaps it isn't, after all, and this really is that second chance you're hoping for.

It's very easy for us to feel we're singled out by fate, or some such. We aren't, typically. We make silly decisions and end up in strange situations, and what defines us isn't fate, or destiny. It's choice. We have that, don't we, the Maker's second children? What we choose to do with that choice is what defines us, and our significance.

It's hard to know but I believe in his love. Maybe not destiny or some greater journey but I believe that he loves all of his children.

That's enough for me.

[tevinteraltus]

Do you also believe that all may be His children, regardless of world? I...believe I do. Believe, that is.

[littlemisskate]

I do.

[tevinteraltus]

And I believe that He's out there, and that He wouldn't let us go on existing if He didn't have some sort of concern for the lot of us. Assuming He also created everywhere, then maybe you were meant to be here as much as I.
